The Verve: Bittersweet Symphony (1998)

"Bittersweet Symphony" is a defining song for the 1990s. It captures the zeitgeist of much of the decade as well as the trials and alienation of a generation attempting to gain footing in the world. Ironically, the song's release coincided with a change in the culture and a move toward less weighty issues. The song included some sound effects from the Rolling Stones song "The Last Time" which resulted in plagerism charges. Keith Richards and Mick Jagger ended up with writing credits on the work. However, much of the royalties went to the Stones' former manager Allen Klein who pushed the suit against The Verve.
