The Stone Roses

[BigMoaner]

She’s a waterfall is a great song.

One of the worst live bands I've ever seen.

Goth band who rose the baggy wave with some excellent singles.

First album was hailed as a classic before quickly disappearing from the culture entirely. Who was the last band 'inspired by the Stone Roses)?

Second album is unlistenable excreta.

Happy Mondays were better and more innovative.

They are from Madchester

Other than that, they are alright I suppose....

I always had them down as a pretty standard middle of the road indie rock band at heart tbh. Now I'm a bit older I'd concede they have a few really good bits in there but I haven't changed that basic view. And god Ian Brown is a wanker.

I love the first album used to listen to it on repeat on buses and trains in rainy Dublin as a teen bunking off school and going to the pub. Formative. Will never tire of it.

Also loved the Mondays. Like a beacon of madness direct from Manchester over the Irish Sea.

I used to have the first album on repeat play but haven't listened to it in years now.

Breaking Into Heaven is a great song but the rest of Second Coming went downhill fast, I gave the full thing so few listens that I only just found out there is a (crap) hidden track

Besides the Can influences, there's a lot of early Byrds in there, too.

Not so sure the second album is all that, though.

Are you talking about the Mondays? If so I think that Squirrel beats Bummed and Pills, to my ears anyway.

Roses.

But you can hear Can in both bands.
