Thanks! I have heard The Verve before, but was unaware of Ashcroft's solo work. Actually, this thread has peaked my interested in Ashcroft and his former band. I just haven't really listened to them often.
I don't want you to go thru the trouble of uploading. I can always download from iTunes.

His band where one of the big leaders of the britpop movement in the 90's here in brittain and he shares mutual respect with the Galagher brothers (the king of britpop)
Heres two of the classics from the verve album Urban Hyms to wet your appetite http://s11.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0...Y07QFRJC6URSA4 http://s9.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2D...X06LS9O7QYI2KL Its a shame hes not as well known as a solo artist because I think his voice has got better since the verve split and his songwritting has progressed. |

Are the Gallaghar brothers still creating havoc in Britain these days?

All the Ashcroft / Mac soundalike situation reminded me that The Verve pinched a sample from Jagger & Richards for that track "Bittersweet Symphony"... it's endemic in music, "borrowing" stuff. Peter and Jeremy used to do it all the time. |

You know, I dont mean to stir anything up, but wouldnt he have sued by now if he believed his song was infringed upon?

I absolutely love Richard Ashcroft and The Verve, especially since Bittersweet Symphony. His firt solo album was great but I'm a huge fan of Human Condition. Not as many fans for this album, but I think it's his best.

1. The nature of the thematic material. 2. The quasi-sonata form (both movements have underdeveloped second themes & a minimal amount of bridge/transitional music). 3. The tempo & meter. 4. The reliance on embellishment as the primary variational/developmental technique. Such borrowing isn't just periodic -- it's pervasive throughout the centuries. |

I think they have settled into a groove now. Liam and Gem write well together, Andy Bell is also a great writer and of course Noel was born to write classic songs. Now that Zak Starkey looks like a full time member they are a pretty tight band. I can see them staying in the business a long time. The songs have matured too. If you want havoc just google Pete Doherty... As far as stealing from other songs is concerned. If you look at the similarites on the Say You Will album to other songs e.g. Illume and Say You Will to Ashcroft and Peacekeeper to Kodachrome by Paul Simon (this is virtually the same) it's quite possible that Lindsey, as producer and arranger (as he likes to point out) may have been listening to other artists during the creative process and they, as Lindsey would put it, "informed the document of work". However, there are only so many chords and notes and you will get repetition from time to time. It's fair to say all modern rock music to a degree was influenced by chicago blues which was influenced from delta blues which was influenced by gospel blues etc etc. So it all dates back to the beginnings really. It's all recycled in one form or another.. haha, cycles again.. Last edited by madformac; 03-03-2006 at 03:06 PM.. |

Um...there's not much "blues" influence in King Crimson, ELP or Yes, there, Justin. Ya know, I DO hear a vague (emphasis on "vague") similarity in the choruses of "Kodachrome" and "Peacekeeper"...but only because someone mentioned it. If I'd never read that, I doubt I would've picked up on it. It's not as blatant & obvious as some people seem to point out. As Tom said earlier, I can believe that Lindsey would've been more exposed to Verve/Richard Ashcroft than Stevie...so if there's any "fingerpointing" on a plagiarism basis with "Illume", Lindsey should probably be more "to blame". To me, this Illume/New York thing rates right there with the "He's So Fine/My Sweet Lord" thing. But, unfortunately, since "Illume" isn't a big hit, there's no reason to go through with any major plagiarism suit, since future earnings probably wouldn't recoup the expense of filing the suit & paying the lawyer's fees, for a claim that might not be victorious. Another pair of plagiarities: Listen to The Animals tune "Cheating" (a rare B-side), then listen to Tom Petty's "Breakdown", same melody in verses, same chord pattern...the choruses are also similar, but that's where the songs separate...but, they're too close to even call "different songs".
