Yes, Verve (before they became The Verve) were excellent - The Verve EP and A Storm In Heaven. Psychedelic gold. Shame they morphed into another Oasis clone and are now mainly remembered as the band who did 'Bittersweet Symphony'.
 

 
I remember being given a cassette copy of A Storm In Heaven in college, '93 and being blown away. The same guy introduced me to The Smiths, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Jesus & Mary Chain and many others. Formative years.

They honestly need to make a remastered version of "A Storm In Heaven" besides just remastering Blue and Slide Away. I actually think Urban Hymns was an excellent album. It might be a little britpop but it still incorprates a little bit of space rock as well. Never really got into A Northern Soul though.

On another note:
 
The Dandy Warhols are not longer "that Vodafone song" band.

You know whenever i hear the term "Indie Rock" i always get the feeling of "Mumford & Sons" or "Imagine Dragons". Not a good feeling imo. I shouldnt be getting it though since imo true indie rock consists of the Stone Roses and The Smiths. Now those are excellent bands, not slop i hear on the local pop radio all the damn time. I mean cmon we need a "Shoegaze" radio or "Grunge" radio. But that would be too esoteric.

You're about 25 years too late with that

 Grunge was always on the radio back in the early 90s. Do people still listen to the radio anyway? I never do personally - closest I get these days is downloading or streaming podcasts.
