  When The Verve were touring the Northern Soul album, the (much better)
  album before the one with all the hits on, I saw them play twice and they
  were a fucking astounding mind-melting Stooges/acid rock style live
experience. FACT! Then they got into dreary ballads and that was that. A
real shame.

between the Verve and, say, Beyonce or Crowded House and 50 Cent.... with
whom would you side?

Incongruous.
