Their most iconic album is 'Automatic for the People', released in 1992. This was in the charts for weeks and there were all sorts of singles from it, plus 'Out of Time' which featured 'Finding my Religion'.
A favourite album is a much earlier one called 'Document'.
This track is from that album.
I saw the band several times: once on the 'Green' tour, and once on the 'Monster' tour.
That meant a return to Huddersfield, where I studied for my geography degree at the Polytechnic there, as they were playing the football stadium. See the 2nd post for today for more on that gig and the ticket stub from the gig.
They released a number of tracks which could be said to have a geographical theme to them.

This is from an early album called 'Fables of the Reconstruction'. Here's a live performance from 2003.
