Originally called simply Verve until conflicts with the jazz label Verve caused the name-change to The Verve.
Famous for their hit songs Bittersweet Symphony, The Drugs Don't Work and others.
The band split up after their final (and arguably greatest) 1997 album Urban Hymns, but still nothing quite equals them today. They don't write a few hit songs and a lot of filler, they write a whole CD of great music.

A British rock band that formed. Wrote some hits along with Bittersweet Symphony. Urban Hymns is their biggest album ever sold. Broke up in 1999 and came back.
Bored guy singing:"It's a Bittersweet Symphonyyy, that's liffe. Trying to make ends meet, You're a slave to money then you dieee..."

A band that scored sucess with the hit, Bittersweet Symphony in 1997. Although the song brought fame to the band, they were sued by the Rolling Stones for ripping of thier melody. Since then the group had disbanded and to the dismay of many fans left the music scene behind.

a band that has about one good song, relying on it forever and then creates music that is all different types of fail

An amazing band that spawned three great albums when they were together. The band finally found commercial success worldwide, with their album Urban Hymns (which is also arguably their greatest work).
There haven't been any rock bands as great as the Verve since their split. They were in a league of their own.

"Have you heard 'History' by the Verve?"
"Yes, It's probably the greatest song ever composed"
"I so agree"
