arcticgun 4,548 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Class album no doubt is Definitely Maybe, imho its stood the test of time far better than Whats the Story, really loved WTSMG but its faded in time, where as Definitely always gets plenty air time and I watch the dvd now and again, Stone Roses just simply made the perfect album, no way could that ever be followed up, watched the Shane Meadows movie the other week, did not bother goin to concerts the other year cos went to Spike Island and seen second coming (unfortunately),,memories just to good to risk lol Inspirals , LA's etc all class bands always listened to em over years, greatest era of music in my time, great thread 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
