Synopsis

In a 1996 Music Week poll, THE STONE ROSES came second to Oasis in the 'all-time favourite group' category for people under 30, it is incredible that no biography has ever been written. THE STONE ROSES single-handedly set the blueprint for the resurgence of UK rock 'n' roll in the 1990s. Their uniqueness is marked by Ian Brown's new lazy-style vocals, Reni's fluid funk-tinged, ground-breaking drumming and the guitar genius of John Squire. Combine all this with the fact that this band were from Manchester, wore flared trousers and football tops, a whole new baggy style that had never been seen south of Stoke before - and you've got one of the few bands who could ever truly deserve to be called Great. Their LP The Stone Roses is acknowledged as one of the most important albums of all time.

Quatrième de couverture

The Stone Roses revolutionized British pop. Think back..there hadn't been a great British street band, a people's band, since punk rock. And it took a band from Manchester, after an awkward couple of years trying to find their direction to suddenly flower, fusing dance and rock with natural ease. Embracing their rock 'n' roll past while looking to the future, their LP The Stone Roses is acknowledged as one of the most important albums of all time.

In this fully revised and updated edition of The Stone Roses and the Resurrection of British Pop, John Robb takes us on an exhilarating journey from the heady early days of the Roses to their emergences as an inspiration to a generation.

Setting the blueprint for the resurgence of UK rock 'n' roll in the 1990s, the Roses inimitable style continues to influence bands well into the new century. This classic biography puts the band in their rightful place in music history.
