You have to be very special to Americans to keep their attention for over two decades with only one good album. Personally, I have always loved Stone Roses s/t and I always will.

Since we're talking about the US, it's interesting that the Stone Roses' subpar, eventual follow up album, Second Coming, is considered 'more popular in America' I guess because Squire wanks out some good ol' American-style blues guitar solos throughout. I obviously think it's far worse but I have run into several people who say they like it better than the first one. I'm always shocked when I hear that

Jeff Buckley then? (almost)

And no one jump on my back about Sketches being good, that album p*sses me off. It makes me think 'Oh what might've been...'

And yeah, Second Coming is f*cking terrible. How anyone can prefer it is unfathomable.

That's the appropriate Mancunian reaction to the album - and I agree

Pitchfork (which usually sucks) gave the The Stone Roses album a perfect 10/10.

Stone Roses to 'reunite' as Ian Brown and John Squire 'bury hatchet' | News | NME.COM

No. Not buying it.

Hmmm I doubt the rumours are true, something like that pops up nearly every year and gets denied by the band members. Besides I doubt Man. City are going to win the Premier League this year.

It's sourced from a tabloid report aswell. As I say, I'm not buying it.

With "10 Story love Song" still playing in my mind years after the tape expired, to me there was at least a bit if all too short magic in there.

As for The Seahorses...sorry. Tons of potential sadly led up to a half-powered album with maybe a good moment or two in my opinion if I'm on a good day.

Enough of the crapping on. It's time to remember why they are remembered - a crowning album of 1989, the moment when things had to change quick. No better album did that than the S/T classic.
i agree to most of this except I haven't heard the Shirehorses and don't intend to
