The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses

As the first song rolls through, you can tell that this band knows they're good. Not even good. Excellent. Great. For example, take the first line of the first song: "I don't have to sell my soul. He's already in me." Who exactly? Maybe god. Or the devil. Sh*t, maybe it's John Lennon. Their attitude suggests they are very important, and it's sort of deserved. This is the starting point of that British explosion during the 90s. As the album progresses you're taken on a colorful ride through slippery sounding guitars playing mellow pop tunes, with a hint of psychedelia and narcissism.

They became so big that eventually they collapsed under the expectations of their own greatness. Maybe if they sold their souls they would've lasted longer. At least their impact was felt. And that's more than some bands can claim.

Best Tracks: I Wanna Be Adored, Waterfall, I Am The Resurrection
