Ian Brown

The 'rock' guitar was made relevant again with the release of Definitely Maybe.
'Driving South' is a monster tune

Oasis stole the Roses thunder. If Second Coming had made it out before Definitely Maybe and if they had released Ten Storey Love Song first, the media would have lauded the album.

In 95/96, the Roses had become a bit of a laughing stock with the media. The hype around the Roses grew in their absence, aided a lot by Liams adoration of the band. When they disbanded after Reading, they were not the huge, football stadium selling band that returned 20 years later. The first album was not even that lauded. The consensus was that Pills n Thrills and Screamadelica were probably the best 2 Baggy albums.

The first album is a stone cold classic which still resonates today. You get 20 year kids belting out those songs at festivals, even now. The Secong Coming is a great album that does not get the credit it deserves.

I don't think the Roses belong on podium when it comes to the pantheon of great Mancunian bands. But they released two very good rock/pop albums (one being better than very good).

Ian Brown is a cock though.
 
Saw Johnny Marr last night.
One of the worlds most talelnted guitarists, a great live band with him and a superb live orchestra. He wasn't even the lead singer of any band he's been in, yet excellent voice and not a note out of place.
Compare and contrast with Karaoke Brown. Let's face it - it's about the nostalgia and attitude with him. Incredible back catalogue granted.

You would be pushing it a bit by saying Johnny Marr is the best guitarist from Wythenshawe.

Ten story love song is a classic tune that’s never got the recognition it deserves, but that’s only my opinion:)

I like How Do You Sleep, Ten Story Love Song and....I can't remember the other one I like from that album. The over the top guitar on the album wasn't welcome mid-90s at the height of rave and all that. Even Brit-Pop avoided too much guitar.

Ten Storey Love Song is an absolute peach of a number.
