Which band with the album Modern Life is Rubbish was less popular in the UK due to Brett Anderson's Suede rising in popularity?
Modern Life Is Rubbish Modern Life Is Rubbish is the second studio album by the English alternative rock band Blur, released in May 1993. Although their debut album "Leisure" (1991) had been commercially successful, Blur faced a severe media backlash soon after its release, and fell out of public favour. After the group returned from an unsuccessful tour of the United States, poorly received live performances and the rising popularity of rival band Suede further diminished Blur's status in the UK.
The Verve discography The discography of The Verve, a British alternative rock band, consists of four studio albums, two compilation albums, two video albums, three extended plays, fourteen singles, two promotional singles and fifteen music videos. The band formed in 1989 as Verve, with original members Richard Ashcroft, Nick McCabe, Simon Jones and Peter Salisbury, although they later added "The" to their name after a lawsuit from the American jazz label Verve Records. After signing to Virgin Records subsidiary Hut Records in 1991, The Verve released the non-album single "All in the Mind" and a self-titled extended play containing the singles "She's a Superstar" and "Gravity Grave", the former reaching number 66 on the UK Singles Chart. Their debut studio album, "A Storm in Heaven" was released in 1993; despite widespread critical acclaim, it only sold modestly, peaking at number 27 on the UK Albums Chart.
