Noel. (Don't know if you saw my post about that single last month - https://www.democraticunderground.com/1034152105 )

And I love that Roses debut album. I've posted 16 threads about the Roses over the last four years in MA, half a dozen in the Lounge, and God only knows how many replies in other people's threads about them...though now that I just looked for other threads I'm sure were about the Stone Roses because their name was in the thread title, I don't see any other Stone Roses threads in the Lounge, and only 1 other thread about them here (from Celerity). I know there have to be more - threads that might've had a song title but not the band name in the thread title, or just some comment about a type of rock or the DUer's mood. But good luck finding those through DU search later, which is why I ask people to identify the artist and song in the thread title.

Anyway, I don't want to give the impression that I don't admire the Roses.

It is frustrating that there aren't that many videos of really good live performances by the Roses. Ian was infamous for not sounding as good live, though I've seen disagreements among their long-time fans over whether he couldn't sing more accurately or couldn't be bothered.

They were very different from Oasis there.
