they did inspire the verve and other bands and their first two albums were great like live forever.
They and Blur popularized Britpop, certainly. But they weren't particularly innovative or all that great.

I think their first two albums are quite good, enjoyable to listen to. They are far, far, far from the best albums produced in that era.

tired of pruning their roses?
I just came up with that as I wrote.
Well done.

how come they sold out knebworth and created britpop?
They didn't create Britpop. That's how come. Suede and Teenage Fanclub created Britpop, if anyone. You can include the Roses, if you count the Madchester scene. Blur and Oasis made it mainstream (despite being significantly worse bands).
