until I saw the video for "I Wanna Be Adored" a few minutes ago. I've always LOVED that song, but I never knew who it was.

Well, now I know. Are the rest of their songs just as good?

Get yourself their debut album The Stone Roses. Trust me, you'll love it. Not a clunker in sight.

That's o.k., don't feel bad.

It looks like this, Minnie.

BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY.

Every track's a winner baby. And thats no lie

The follow up, The Second Coming is pretty decent, too. It's a little Zeppelin-esque in places, so you may end up prefering it to their first.

To round up the best of the rest (as there were only two studio albums) you could take a chance on Turns Into Stone or The Complete Stone Roses (which is actually a misnomer).

Or you could take a chance on me. Oh! Wait! That's Abba....

What? Did you say something.....? I just couldn't get past that part.



And to the Abba comment:

Seriously tho', I'll think you'll like them very much.

Cloudbuster said:

I recognize this album actually. And then right after I posted this thread, they played a bunch of Stone Roses videos in a row, and I realized that I knew all of the songs but just had no idea who did them.

Cloudbuster said:

The Second Coming is not too bad, but is really a John squire fantasy record.

You need the Complete Stone Roses for Elephant Stone and sally Cinnamon. And Where Angels Play. And One Love. And you need to get the long version of Fools Gold too.

It's a little better than that. Breaking Into Heaven, Driving South, Ten Storey Love Song, Daybreak, Begging You and Love Spreads are all great songs, in my opinion.

Cloudbuster said:

Take out Daybreak and add tightrope and youve named the best tracks.

Well done cloudy!

aaaaah

It's funny, back in high school I remember always hearing bout this band, but not paying much attention. I didn't purchase their debut album for a good year after it came out. When I finally put it on, I about died. So much of that CD was played-out at First Ave back in the day. They were all my favorite songs to dance to, I just had no idea they were ALL by the Roses. After one listen, I was completely sold.

Take the advice here and pick up their stuff. Look for a pressing of "The Stone Roses" with Fools Gold added, then Turns Into Stone and then The Second Coming (which you'll likely find used somewhere).

Better late than never, I guess. Just DON'T let this happen again, young lady!

No Daybreak for you?

I actually LOVE that track!

I actually am gonna go play it right now!

The Stone Roses were a great band... such a shame it never really took off from the 1st album (which IS a classic).

There's some very good tracks on The Second Coming it sounds like the band were about to head in a very interesting direction. As an album, though, you can't go wrong with 'The Stone Roses'

If you like the Stone Roses, then I suggest you give a band called "The Music" a try.

Their new album (Welcome to the North) is out in the UK and will be out here in US next month.

I loved their first album but the new one is much more focused and surpasses it in my opinion.

Anyway, check em out.

peace

Daybreaks.....just Ok

Their debut is the most overrated album ever. Terrible indie shite, people go on about John Squire being god but he just rips off Jimmy Page. Fools Gold is the dullest song of all time. Love Spreads was their best song and that somehow managed to cram every riff off Led Zeppelin II onto it. INDIE TOSS!!!!!
