'Just Lookin' and 'Just When You're Thinking Things Over' - I loves it!Couldnt agree more Mozo. The Stone Roses is one of the defining albums in British history. Without it, we would never have had, Oasis, Blur, The Libertines etc etc.The second coming was also under-rated IMHO, because people thought it was going to be better than their debut, which is just nigh on impossible.Was listening to The Happy Mondays, Pills thrills and bellyaches the other day, and that is still awesome.

City Rocker Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Of the hundreds of pop concerts I've been to, the Stone Roses at the Bierkeller in the Summer of 89 was probably one of only two truly life-changing ones (the other being the Clash at the Colson Hall when I were a nipper in 1980).In fact my vinyl copy of The Stone Roses sits at the front of my collection next to London Calling, my two most-played records.The Second Coming was a disappointment but had some great moments. What's interesting is that the finest song on it, Ten Storey Love Song, sounds like it could have been lifted from the debut album and is one of the few that are not bathed in John Squire's Jimmy Page obsession.The Stone Roses were What The World Was Waiting For, they could and should have achieved the success that Oasis later did. But they chucked it away and none of them (except maybe Mani) really seem to care. Great to see Ian Brown performing some of the old stuff live though, those songs are too good to be consigned to history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple_monkey_dishwasher Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 The Stone Roses were phenomenal and the first band I truly loved. Aside from the music, their finest moment was on the Late Show when the power cut out during their performance. The presenter fumbled their way through an apology with Ian Brown stood behind shouting "Amateurs! Amateurs!". Classic.Another great band with a similar fate was The La's. Fantastic first record, then just disappeared with none of the band members seeming to care. Cast tried to recreate the sound and attitude but didn't even come close - they were too nice, I reckon, you've got to have a certain arrogance and swagger to pull off that kind of music.

His solo stuff's not only very different from the Roses, but is actually really good. The Seahorses, however, were pants... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She knew them too I think. They seem to be fairly local heros but never quite reached out. Wouldn't mind hearing some, but it's ny-on-impossible to find.
