Band: Travis
Album: The Man Who
Released: May 24, 1999
Home Town: Glasgow, Scotland
Why is it on here?:
Another great band from Scotland - maybe I'm biased but I think these guys are much more talented than their more famous British counterparts Coldplay. They aren't dating Gweneth Paltrow either - which might have something to do with it.
Just to give you an idea of their popularity in the UK - this album was #1 on the UK Album Chart in 1999 vs #135 on the Billboard the US. Just for reference, the number one album in the US that year was Millennium by the Backstreet Boys - and you wonder why people think Europeans are cooler than us?
Their songs are always smooth and catchy. One thing I always wonder about UK bands is how they manage to sing without the accent?
