The Stone Roses

[JDK]

are:

1) Fantastic
2) Hugely underrated
3) further proof that Oasis are unoriginal and made a career on the back of someone elses image/sound

Not Stone Roses, but Ian Brown by himself is almost as godlike

Look recognizable? Can anyone say Liam Gallagher?

Anyway kids, music lesson over for the day.

Oasis is awesome :nono:

Are they fuck. A band formed on everyone elses image and sound but their own. No originality, they;ve had the same sound for 15 years, no evolution in their sound. They have a few catchy singalong songs, but so does Britney.

1. Quite good
2. Overrated, I'm afraid - only one decent album?
3. True. What they didn't steal from The Beatles, they probably got from The Stone Roses.

Yeah, I've seen the album listed high in the Top Ten Best Ever lists but it doesn't belong there, I'm afraid. The Second Coming was average. Still happy to hear their stuff on the radio though.

OVERRATED ?!?!?!?!? They aren't rated enough to be overrated.

3) further proof that Oasis are unoriginal and made a career on the back of someone elses image/sound

Tony Wilson (otherwise known as Anthony H Wilson or "That Factory Records Twat") spent the last 18 years of his life insisting that Fool's Gold was a Happy Mondays rip-off.

And there are people who see the Roses as being overrated (http://entertainment.uk.msn.com/music/galleries/gallery.aspx?cp-documentid=149239470&imageindex=2) too, y'know.

Better than the Pistols, Clash or Stones? NME, wash your mouths out - and, no, I don't mean take another shot in the mouth from Pete"r" Doherty this time...
