Richard Ashcroft
What are your opinions on the man? he came onto the scene in the early 90s with the verve, made two average albums then in 97' came what i and many others believe to be one of the best british albums of the 90s - urban hymns, which in my opinion, showed ashcroft to be a genuinly ingenius songwriter. sonnet, drugs dont work, lucky man, weeping willow, bittersweet symphony etc, great collection of songs. then came the big anti-climax of ashcrofts solo career, a wasted talent perhaps? well his new stuff is actualy rather good...keys to the world is easily the best thing hes done as a solo artist (not difficult granted) and it has gone some way to regenerating my faith in a man who i thought was one of the biggest talents of the 90s, fuck the gallaghers, anderson, alburn etc, this guy had more talent then them all and its just a shame we've only had a brief glimpse of it. anyway, most of you probably disagree with me, but what are your opinions?
