Stone Roses – Fool’s Gold (1989)

Manchester night continues!

Hey, after filling the dancefloor with a Joy Division album track, a 6 minute rant by John Cooper Clarke and an Oasis demo, what better way to build on my success than almost ten minutes of utter genius from the Stone Roses.

I have come to appreciate them more now than I did when I was living in Manchester in the late 1980s. I must have been blinded by The Smiths (err, and New Order and The Chameleons amongst others).

This is just a great record. Drums that never relent, a killer bassline and Ian Brown’s typically out of tune vocal rightly relegated to the obscurity of the groove.

I dare you not to dance to this.
