[kj] Stone Roses Reform

[Paul Rangecroft]

Stone Roses the album is great apart from the backwards one and 'Scarborough
Fair' cover. 'I am the Resurrection' one of my favourite songs. Love 'Mersey
Paradise' and 'Elephant Stone' too. Then they completely lost it. Not
interested and the tour as Brown's vocal inadequacies cruelly exposed live
but will give new material a listen.

Don't like Oasis music at all but have time for Noel in interviews. Liam's a
knob'ed.

Didn't like Primal Scream or Happy Mondays. Black Grape were ok. Cast: Beat
Mama! Catchy as hell but yeah Britpop a load of old retro tosh in the main.
Never felt a part of it at the time. Killing Joke the pertect antidote.
