The guy looks, acts and is a rock god. Can you even find a way to counter argue?
Here is a clip of them playing Bitter Sweet Symphony. Not their best song, but look at that guy!

So, I was supposed to head straight to Feist on Tuesday night, but things didn't quite work out that way! As I was getting a pre-show cocktail, I ran into a friend of mine. He's a fabulous Liverpuddlian guitarist who played on a few of my recordings. We were like kids in a candy store at that session in engineer Michael Brauer's (Bob Dylan, Cold Play) private room at Quad Studio. Some very cool vintage analog tape delay effects that made my voice sound like a very comfy ... MORE

In wake of the the Verve reunion, I made a quick recommendation for the The Verve's Urban Hymns:

Brit-pop's last hurrah. This powerful and dramatic album gave music one last chance before being plunged into the darkness of bubble-gum pop and rap-rock. Plus a great lesson was learned from this album: Don't sample without permission, no matted how obscure the sample, you will never see a dime.

I would die for strings. I always think they totally make the song. They add whole new sonic layers and dimensions to the entire emotion of songs. You can't go past the obvious - Bittersweet Symphony.
Then there's Tonight Tonight by Smashing Pumpkins, Emotion Sickness by Silverchair, and a personal favourite - What You Want by The John Butler Trio.
Your favourites?
