View Full Version : The Stone Roses
I have to say, these guys are one of the most under rated bands of all time and they knock the shit out of Oasis. No one else seems to know of these guys though.
anyone else fans?

Plenty of people a bit older that do know them. I like 'em too. Their first self titled album is a classic, but I think they only made one more before splitting up. I wore out that CD my first year of college.

Hey, good call, Duke. Their first album is awesome...the second one (also their last) got panned, but in hindsight it's pretty damn good. Easily the most influential British band in terms of British guitar music in the last 20 years. I always love a band that knows how to use their Rickenbacker's.
Stay as far away from Ian Brown's solo stuff. Blech.

'The Second Coming' was always gonna be panned after like 6 years waiting for it. Love Spreads is a full on classic and stuff like Driving South, Begging You, How Do You Sleep..all good
some of 'The Monkey Mans' solo stuff was alright

The second coming is under rated. Its deffinatly not as good as the debut album but the guitar work by squire is still amazing...As for Brown, he turned into an asshole Chav it seems..he cant fucking sing for shit either. Reni and Squire were the keys to that band..and Mani is just plain awesome if you ever watched his interviews....

Fool's Gold is a great song and is usually the song people identify with the STONE ROSES. These guys started the rave movement in England before it became electronic house music. They were/are huge in the UK.
Great band.

nah they were never 'rave' or 'house'...both were around in the late 80's. it was 'indie crossover'...suppose it got techno music more in the mainstream music papers.
mani wasnt in Primal Scream for Scremadelica and 'movin on up'. but he did slip it to some ugly english whore in my dorm who stole my Eddie Murphy Raw DVD.
808 state and the The Future Sound Of London were doin the proper indie rave stuff

Man, the British acts are especially bad when it comes to delusional band members. So many of their great bands have been the result of amazing front men and amazing guitarists...both of whom think they're the real reason the ban is great and break the whole thing and then the parts are always woefully less than the whole.

Well, Oasis is often trying to sound like a whole lot of bands, but they always talk about the Roses as the single band that inspired them the most in terms of general sound and style and just plain wanting to be in a band, especialy sine they also came from Manchester.
