I'm surprised Silvertone didn't choose to remaster and rerelease all the early stuff last year, the debut, Turns Into Stone etcetera (I wouldn't be surprised if they remastered and rereleased the bloody singles!). They've never missed an opportunity to sponge off the Roses before, and the Very Best Of compilation looked like being the start of a reissue process.
X-post; Yes. You must be insane!

Ha ha. True. See, if they had a remix by Junior Senior with b/up vocals by Beyonce and production by NERD but remained the same - different story. ha ha.
Anyways did you hear the news - INDIE is back in fashion!

On the contrary, what bugs a lot of people is that this album of bland, innocuous indie-pap is treated as if it's a work of genius. In lists of most overrated albums of all time this is Top 5.

So i loved it for about six months until One Love, which I thought was shite and I stopped caring and started listening to MBV or something.

Crossing threads slightly I think it's safe to say the Roses liked the Monkees more than the Beatles - this should forever put them above those other retro-chancers from Manchester.

Haha! A well deserved fate.
They were cool as all hell, and it does not surprise me Ned doesn't like them.
Hm...
I had the advantage of not actually hearing the darn thing until the middle of 1992, at which point we were all grunge (weren't we?). Anyway, I had recently discovered the Chameleons before that, and while the connection isn't exact, I heard the Stone Roses through that particular filter and thought, "Hm, semi-dreamy semi-gothy stuff, sounds good to me!" I barely knew any Byrds at the time, of course, but now that I do -- well, I still feel more apt to pull out the Stone Roses anyway, when I do.
Yes, I clearly hate them.
