The Stone Roses

British alternative rock band

The Stone Roses were an influential British rock band that played a pivotal role in the development of the Madchester music scene in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Formed in Manchester in 1983, the group consisted of Ian Brown (vocals), John Squire (guitar), Mani (bass), and Reni (drums). They are best known for their self-titled debut album "The Stone Roses," released in 1989, which is often cited as one of the greatest albums in British rock history. The album's blend of jangly guitar pop with dance rhythms was a fresh sound that resonated with the youth of the era, leading to widespread acclaim and commercial success.
