Track of the Day

Lucky Man – Urban Hymns – The Verve.  Okay, so the Verve were awful, and Urban Hymns had aspirations way beyond its rather staid rock means, but this song is well constructed, solid Nineties stuff.  I like it, anyway, and this is my pick, so yah boo sucks to anyone who disagrees.  An ancestor to the derivative, overly-self-consciously lo-fi sound of horrible, terrible, no-good-at-all bands like Franz Ferdinand and the execrable Hives?  That you’ll have to decide for yourself.
