Stone Roses or Oasis?

60 posts in and nobody is saying Oasis defined and inspired a generation, what's wrong with you Oasis fans :lol:
 
he's right you know, when was the last time you actually listened to it?

No he isn't. It's far more pedestrian and forgettable than the Oasis album released the same year, which is why everyone was talking about the latter despite both bands appealing to the same group of people.

Im completely baffled by how high some people put the Roses.

1 album ffs and a really bad lead singer.

They basically did nowt compared to the proper great bands.

Probably something to do with the revisionist history in the British media. Oasis weren't a great band either though, they both had one trick and didn't have the talent to progress into something else, Oasis just lived off it longer.
 
Ian Brown vs Liam Gallagher as a live singer? :lol:
Oasis piss all over the Roses as a live act (got bootlegs galore from both, and seen Oasis and Browny live many a time).
Roses were a studio band, who did one great record and then nowt.
If you blinked youd have missed them!

Did you ever see The Roses?
 
If anyone says Oasis they should be locked in a room and made to listen to 'Roll With It' on repeat.

That is poss the worst track they've done but I've nae idea wtf the Stone Roses have done to be even compared to Oasis.

IMO, you were either into the SR druggy scene or not. I wasn't. Happy memories when high, methinks, but they did nowt for me.

The Roses had a fantastic trick and I love them more for keeping it brief.

If Lennon and McCartney had been shot in 1970,the Stones and Bowie in 1978, Morrisey in 1990 the world would have been saved a few terrible albums
 
I'm not a hater of Oasis and have seen them live a couple of times, once in Hull which was a quality experience. In terms of importance, originality etc the Roses just piss all over them. You could call Oasis a covers band and not be too far off the mark. They're derivative and as unoriginal as they come. Not to say I don't enjoy them on one level, but their importance is completely overexaggerated. The Roses took their influences (much the same as Oasis') and did something different with it. That's the major difference for me. And no, I didn't see the Roses live.
 
Amongst the cool kids, it's cool to dislike Oasis, and cool to think the Stone Roses' debut album is one of the most groundbreaking, bestest most influential albums of all time (it isn't, but it's still good).

Gan stick Highway 61 on for fuck sake and gain some perspective.

Oh there are much better bands than either. I Wanna be Adored came on the radio so I thought I'd just whack this thread up there to gauge opinion :)

:lol: What was so original about the Stone Roses like??? John Squire's album artwork?
 
Liam Gallagher has at best an average voice.

Musically The Stone Roses piss all over Oasis.

the guitar solo on tracks of my tears is outstanding. my favourite of any guitar solo and that includes Clapton, Gilmore, Hendrix and Gallagher (Rory, not the other Gallagher with the big eyebrows)
