Am I the greatest Stone Roses fan on the forum?

I don’t think anyone else would want that prize.

Exactly the point I'm making about stating the fucking obvious.

I was just thinking exactly the same to be truthful, Oasis were far better live than the Roses from my experience.

That first Roses album is a better album than anything Oasis ever did, but I think there are far more good Oasis tunes than there are Roses ones.

Oasis could easily do two separate headline sets, where as realistically the Roses only have one set.

Both great bands and at this moment in time, the Roses are probably seen as the cooler of the two. The clamour for Oasis to reform is going to get louder over the next few years and their kudos will increase again.

Oasis smoke them live.

haha i knew it would

the jam are the best band ever bar none lee. always loved them and the style council was a bit to girly for me back then. but funny thing is the style council are ok now and can listen to most of the stuff weller did with the council

stone roses was a happening MADchester ? and manchester needed the roses after the death of ian curtis Joy Division and the end of the smiths. music was going deep into more shitty yank stuff and british music was on its knees until madchester happened ? funny thing lee is it was about the same time i moved from the hillock to ancoats and it was happening on my doorstep. and most of the music was coming from the old mills turned into rehearsals rooms and i worked at sankeys and many of the big noises had rooms there and was always bumping into everybody

So, am I the only one who thinks (most of) the 'Second Coming' is better than the first album? For example, the first track on 2nd, after a five year wait, has 5 agonising minutes of jungle(?) noises before unleashing a bass line that is as good as anything they ever did. In places they were like a funky Led Zep - and I'm not keen on Zep. Love the first album, but love the second more!

Are all better than anything the Stone Roses put out.

There’s an argument to say both debut albums are close, in terms of quality but when What’s the Story Morning Glory came out, Oasis blew them away.

Contrast it to the Second Coming and it’s arguing for the Word Cup over national league football.

The Second Coming is a mediocre album barring a couple of absolute stormers in Tears and Love Spreads. It's a 7/10 record of itself but woefully underwhelming in comparison to the first album.

The first album is the greatest album ever. Every song is an absolute blinder and it captures 'everything coming together' from that glorious era in Manchester's history.

The first album demolishes anything Oasis have ever written. Imo there isn't a single Oasis song that would replace any song on the album. Not one.

I remember your mod coat and your kid ant was always one step ahead in the fashion stakes.
Was it really 31 years ago next week we went to Blackburn on the day of Hillsborough and watched us get walloped 4 zip? Did Cedric come with us? Just having a bit of a memory trip with this self isolation and beer he he

That’s the most deluded thing I’ve ever heard pal but music is all about opinions so fair play.

I really like the Stone Roses for the record and the debut album is likely in my top 10 favourite.
