The Stone Roses Reunion

Well, well, well. After over 15 years since their split The Stone Roses have finally decided to get back together.

In my youth I was a MASSIVE indie kid, Primal Scream, the Charlatans, Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, Ride etc, I loved them all. Then Oasis came and my love for that genre died.

The Stone Roses only released 2 albums. One a groundbreaking guitar/dance record that was influential and still sounds fresh today after over 20 years. The difficult 2nd album, released some 5 years later due to legal issues was slated in the music media, and even Ian Brown and Mani have gone on record as saying it was "a piss poor Led Zeppelin covers band".

So why have they got back together? Do they have something worth saying? Are they that upset with the current blandness of British music? or have they been offered shed loads of money to do some big gigs in a Manchester field?
