'The Stone Roses'

Growing up from around the age of 13 with multpile guitar magazine subscriptions, you often heard about the Stone Roses although around 1993, listening to 4-year-old British rock wasn't my bag.

But this album was regarded so well as was John Squire's guitar playing that ever so often you saw something about them. Then Oasis hit.

Fast forward 10 years and you can look at most British rock bands and see a little bit of the Stone Roses in them.

Said singer Ian Brown:

"It's timeless. It still sounds fresh. I think if it came out this week, it would still make an impact."

No truer words have been spoken. He's right. This is a great, fresh album. It's dated, but in that good way. It let's you know what the best of the best of the late-1980s and early-1990s sounded like. It's a grand testament to that era.
