It was The Verve.

However, the orchestral part was sampled from a symphonic Rolling Stones album (the 1965 song "The Last Time").

From Wikipedia:

Although the song's lyrics were written entirely by Verve vocalist, Richard Ashcroft, it has been credited to Keith Richards and Mick Jagger because the song uses the Andrew Oldham Orchestra recording of The Rolling Stones' 1965 song "The Last Time" as its foundation.

Originally, The Verve had negotiated a license to use a sample from the Oldham recording; but it was successfully argued that the Verve had used 'too much' of the sample.[1] Though only some of "Bitter Sweet Symphony"'s music and not a single line or phrase of the lyrics were contained in the original, it led to a lawsuit with ABKCO Records, Allen Klein's company, which owns the rights to the Rolling Stones material of the 60s. The matter was eventually settled out of court, with copyright of the song reverting to ABKCO and songwriting credits to Jagger and Richards.

There have been conflicting reports as to whether or not the song actually samples the Andrew Oldham recording.

The sample in the song is the Rolling Stone's 'The Last Time.'
"Bitter Sweet Symphony" is a song by the rock band The Verve, and is the lead track on their third album Urban Hymns. It was released 16 June 1997 as the first single from the album, charting at #2 in the UK Singles Chart, having been beaten to the #1 spot by "I'll Be Missing You" by Puff Daddy and Faith Evans. The single was released in the US in early 1998.

The Verve. But they got into big trouble from sampling from the Stones.
