Much better known in the UK than over here. I remember in Shaun of the Dead, they were actually making jokes about "The Second Coming" not being as good as the first album...

The only Roses album I could listen to now is Second Coming. It's criminally underrated. 10 story love song, tightrope - two of their best from my humble opinion.

Huge fan to this day. Although their sound was familiar, I still found it to be so original. Ian Brown fell short as a solo performer in my eyes.
I don't want to see them reform, but I will declare that they were a hugely entertaining band for a goof part of my life and still are to this day. Oh Sally Cinnamon! You god damned whore! hahahaha- So, why don't you want a band you love to reform? I never understand that.CyBrain

I told this story here before but it's a classic...
I saw the US premier of "I wanna be adored" on MTV's 120 minutes in 1989 and the next day I instantly went out and bought the CD.
I thought to myself that this was the future of rock n roll and I had to turn everyone I knew onto this new Madchester sound.
The next weekend I drove down to see a girlfriend at a small college in Southern Ohio. Her and her roommates were having a huge kegger house party and had a friend DJing, and when I say DJing he was just selecting songs on CD a dual cassette and playing them back to back from a corner of the living room.
I had told her about this great new band and she told the DJ I had great taste in music and I knew of the great new band from England that were going to be huge.
I went out to my car to retrieve the disc and told him to put it on "I wanna be adored"
He let it play through that long intro and nobody responded, well actually it stopped everyone in there tracks like the party was stuck in time and nobody moved. They had never heard anything like quite like this.
Then about half way through the song people started yelling "what is this shit!" "Play something else!" and the DJ didn't make it through the song before playing some Tom Petty or REM or what ever college kids were listening to at the time and I walked away in shame.- haha, classic.intVal

- Not the best party song though. I played it in work and got two responses 'What the fuck is this shite' and "why does he want to be a dog?'ian
- ... be a dog?'ian

My favourite Stone Roses song:

that 20 year 4 disc set sounds incredible. I'm not sure it's because of the new mix or high quality mp3 but it sounds better than it did 20 years ago.
Are they getting any money of this box set? I think I remember they got royally screwed in their record contract.
