I dunno what their status is in Europe, but why should Doves ever make the hall of fame?
Well, since they do what Coldplay and Keane do, except with more versatility, skill and depth.
(I assume you've heard their sweet cover of Zevon's Werewolves Of London, titled Hit The Ground Running?)
No, but then again, my interest in Zevon is virtually zero. I respect the man, but his songs just drone on going nowhere.
I've heard of Elbow, but haven't really heard Elbow.
Their third album Leaders of the Free World was one of the best albums of 2005, and the title track one of the best singles of that year. Absolutely stunning in every aspect you care to name.
