Editor's note

The Charlatans, with Tim Burgess up front

A British band that kept going through lineup changes and shifting sounds.

If you want the early vibe, 'The Only One I Know' is the place. For something later, try 'One To Another.'

They landed with 'The Only One I Know' in 1990, a song that felt like a jangle-pop hangover from the '80s. That debut album 'Some Friendly' put them in the conversation, but they kept writing. Later singles like 'One To Another' from 1996 showed they could lock into a heavier, more driving groove.

They formed in the late 1980s with Burgess as frontman. Through the '90s they released albums like 'Wonderland' and 'Tremelo,' and later records included 'Us and Us Only' and 'Tellin' Stories.'
