how many fans of the stone roses here? Their two albums are
almost immaculate; beautiful some might say. Including me.

Sweet as. Plus they were sampled by Run DMC. How many indie
bands can say that?

what other good tracks have they done, then? nothing on king
of rock or raising hell does it for me. possibly peter
piper, but thats only cos mardi gras is such a gem..
oh there was that run's house thing. that wasnt bad. nice
funky drummer reshape on there the one used on urban
shakedown..
i forgot that one. i think that's it though. i'm not gonna
swallow any of the currently circulated rubbish about them
breaking rap in america by doing a track with aerosmith cos
the message , step off, hobo scratch, whistle were all in
the charts before run dmc and with no rock samples..

I remember seeing them at rooftops in 1989 in glasgow. The
place only held about 400 people and as you can probably
guess i feel quite smug about seeing them that early on. I
can remember my girlfriend at the time nearly creaming
herself over the sight of ian brown and all the while i was
thinking "who is this cocky cunt?". They had a guy called
cressa who was basically the roses version of bez on stage
and to tell you the truth I was not totally blown away by
them. But the passing of time and misty eyed nostalgia has
turned it into the best gig of my life. The girlfriend has
long gone but the stone roses debut still stays with me,
never aging and sounding as arrogant and brilliant as ever.

Man, that first Stone Roses album is a pop masterpiece...
the second one is merely OK. I hate it when bands can only
muster one real masterpiece, it's so frustrating.

Anus, It wouldn't be a smart comment if it had a serious
intent. Since it didn't it was a smart-alec comment.

Their second album is also great - seems it's under-rated
here, but that's OK.

The Stone Roses are actually mt favorite band in the world.
Their second album was kinda weird, 3-4 really good songs
and the rest total crap sorry to say.
But their first album was simply pure genius, mixing all
kinds of different styles from rock to phsychadelia( bad
writing I know!)
They had a pretty bad singer in Ian Brown but he more than
made up for the singing with he´s terrific arrogance, kinda
like a funny and really cool version of Liam Gallager! They
had a great guitarist in John Squire and the near perfect
bassist Mani plus a great drummer.
My favs are I Am the Resurrection, Fools gold, Waterfall,
Made of Stone.
They had the talent to become the greatest rock band of all
time but then drugs fucked them and their friendship up.
They were offered incredible sums of money to reform but
always declined.
I actually hope they never will reform, that would ruin the
mystic surrounding them. The spirit of Manchester in those
day was never about money just pure love for music.
