I’ve never made this connection and probably being a bit slow here but what Beatles song does this lift? I´m sure that you hear it but you think that it is not that similar so you pretend that you didn´t hear it and then you ask question like this. People did same thing with She Bangs/Holy Mountain. And when I look at your avatar then I´m 101% sure that you know what is Day Tripper talking about. After a bit of head scratching I can hear “Here Comes the Sun”, the Roses using the melody in their verses... still a bit thin for me so wouldn’t buy into it being a rip off. More a nod 😉 |

If anything I think they're underrated. Outside UK no one even knows their name. The debut is an all time classic and there far to few people who give it the praise it deserves. I always find myself coming back to them. Even second coming had grown on me. Plus being a drummer myself, Reni is my all time favourite drummer.

On this forum, definitely.
Anywhere else besides the UK, not sure. Not a lot of people have heard of them over here.

For a lot of people of a certain age i.e. folk like me in their early 40's who were say 16-20 when the debut was released, they will always be a special band. I can understand younger folk looking at it and thinking what's so special about this lot? You had to be there. I turned 16 in 1989, you definitely had to be there, for me it turned music on it’s head, the 60s had come back to life, pills n thrills and all that. what a summer! Then we got the happy mondays, the charlatans, the inspirals, the la’s, it was a great time to be young. Then in 1994 it turned on it’s head again when i first heard supersonic For me nothing else musically has come along to move me in such a way as these bands did, maybe it’s my age, I’m lost in the nostalgia probably, and seeing the Stone Roses last summer at Wembley, with my old school mate who first played me them on his Walkman back in the spring of ‘89, was special in a way I find hard to describe. Music is about how it makes you feel, it’s not about the shit bass player, (for the record I love guigsy) or the dodgy drummer ( and tony) or even how good the songwriter is, it’s about how it makes you feel, in a moment, a moment you can keep forever if you have that tune, It’s about what’s inside the tin of beans...... ✌️ |

Fuck no. Sorry that debut album and it's B-sides are still the greatest thing to come out of British Music for me. Never did a band look as cool as them either, every member looked like a rock star. Ian Brown was the cool frontman, sure his vocals weren't always great but damn he had presence. Only Liam Gallagher comes close, but Ian just was slightly cooler. Reni was and is a massively underrated Drummer, and Mani the same as a bassist. Those guys bought a funk to the Roses that makes them stand out from other British bands. Squire was a great guitarist.
Why I always chose Roses over Oasis as my favorite British Rock band. Roses felt like a band, while Oasis felt like Gallagher's and whoever else is behind them. Roses felt like a brotherhood. Oasis were always one shade, while The Roses felt multicolored for me. You could hear the influences from the Roses, like Sly and the Family Stone to the Byrds to The Clash to Ska to Zep.
Roses will never be overrated for me. Still the coolest and best band UK ever bought out.

This exactly, you’ve put that into words beautifully there, you’d be surprised how many of this generations kids like them, my eldest daughter who’s 19 (and who’s incidentally just started a degree in art at Manchester uni) loves them like my generation loved the Beatles and the Stones at that age. Many a time when she was little we would bang the drums together. As much as i love oasis the Roses will always give me that slightly warmer tingle inside.

That debut is still incredible, no matter what come after it. oasis never got close to that quality.
if you take the Roses whole career from start to finish, you could say there was more average moments than great, but a lot of that was due to other circumstances.
For those couple of years at their peak, they were as good as it gets.
