Give Me A Band From Manchester And a Jangling Guitar...
As one of the first groups to be dubbed "the next Smiths," today's group became an institution on the British alternative music scene of the '80s and '90s with their pleasant folk-pop. Early in their career, they were blessed by praise from their idol Morrissey, which turned out to be both a blessing and a curse. The group was pegged as second-rate Smiths, yet continued to tour and record, eventually gaining a sizable following. In the late '80s, the group, like many of their British peers, became involved in the acid house-inspired "baggy" scene and recorded a baggy-inspired song which became their breakthrough hit. Shortly after their breakthrough, they became more experimental, culminating in a collaboration with Brian Eno that resulted in their biggest American album in 1993. They took four years to follow it, by which time their audience had returned to a cult following.
Today's song selection is the title track from the big American LP of 1993.
