The Stone Roses

[Reckoner]

Second coming the best album? Fuckin priceless.

Great band and I love them. I wasn't old enough to be there when they played spike island but wouldn't have missed heaton park for the world. Can't stand people who rattle on about kids liking them like they are the only people allowed to like them because it was 'there era'. So what? Only Stringvest can claim to be a genuine Beatles fan on here if thats the case. (He probably cant stand them).

 

Oasis were better though.

[Mook]

Imagine Oasis coming out with Shoot you down, Fools Gold or Breaking into Heaven? Me neither.

 

No fucking contest, they're not even in the same universe.

[Bjornebye]

Bollocks. 

 

Masterplan, Live Forever and Champagne Supernova are better songs than the Roses could have ever imagined making.  

[Sugar Ape]

Tell you what, if Oasis had split after Definitely Maybe and What's the story they'd have a bigger legacy than the Roses in my opinion.

[Bjornebye]

Collectively both albums were better than both the Roses albums. 

[cloggypop]

Oh dear.

[manwiththestick]

Some madness in here.

[ZonkoVille77]

Nah.

Morning glory challenges the second coming but there's just no comparison with The Stone Roses and definitely maybe

[Boss]

The Stone Roses best ever guitarist was Aziz Ibrahim.

 

 

That reminds me of when Anthony Gizmundo or whatever his name was took over from Pete Doherty when he was strung out on crack. Proper no mark he was.

 

On the subject of the Stone Roses vs Oasis, The Stone Roses is a better record than Definately Maybe, but Morning Glory is better than Second Coming. 

[Kemlyn King]

Waterpistol is a better album than all of them

Keep off the glue you mentalist buffoon.

[Boss]

Keep off the glue you mentalist buffoon.

 

I'll try, but i can't promise i'll stay off it.

[Mook]

Bollocks.

I've seen you talk some bollocks about music but this takes the biscuit.

[Bjornebye]

It doesn't at all Mook.

[Total Longo]

Oasis were better though.

 

 

They really weren't mate. 

[cloggypop]

The Magical World Of The Strands is better than Waterpistol.

[Bjornebye]

They really weren't mate.

No problem you having a different opinion fella. I love the stone roses. Both class. I just prefer Oasis. They are criminally underrated on this forum.

I think Oasis get more of a pasting than they deserve, as Definitely Maybe is a belter of an album and always will be. Personally i think they only ever showed sporadic glimpses of brilliance after that first album, and Liam is a bona-fide helmet. It's like he took the Ian Brown Manc swagger template and multiplied it by 900 to the point of caricature.  

[Mook]

Oasis fans seem to live in a weird bubble where their songs don't sound like Slade b-sides, I think that tends to be the issue.

[Boss]

No-one in Oasis can hold a candle to any of the members of the Stone Roses musically. Reni was one of the best drummers of all time, John Squire is a genius on the guitar and Mani is a quality bass player. But Noel is a better songwriter than Ian Brown and Liam circa 93-95 (before he went all SHHINNNNNEEEEEEE) was a better singer than Brown by far.

[Boss]

Case in point - Brown 1995

 

 

Liam Gallagher 1995

 

[Mook]

See if this Oasis lot start their pish on my Led Zeppelin thread...

 

'Ooh but Liam has better taste in coats than Robert Plant'.

 

Fuck off, pub rock for NEDs.

That's pretty fair.  I love both bands.
