Currently listening to the instrumental groove that finishes out I am the Resurrection.

Proper Manc magic... I'm back to 1989 again.

Agreed....being from the better end of the east lancs road I never liked the whole Manchester thing at the time....I do now, maybe an age thing!! Drugs were great in creativity....their best songs are amazing...

That is a tune!!

If you're interested (and you might not be) give Where I End and You Begin (Radiohead) a listen. This is the background anthem to my soul, it tears you up and heals you; motivates and crushes. It's orchestrated and shambolic (somehow!) - also a tune!

In reply to abr1966

Maybe in small measures abr, The Second Coming was a fart in the wind compared to The Stone Roses

A classic....to me it's a song played loud in the car on long drives back from Scotland when you are keen to stay awake....that whole album is classic...great memories...

For the benefit of the baffled. This:

"Don't waste your words
I don't need anything from you
I don't care where you've been
Or what you plan to do"

No offence.

Fek you. 😁

Thanks for that, haven't listened to the full 8 minutes for a long time. Brilliant.

Reminds me of living in Chorlton just as Madchester was on the ascendant. You couldn't go to Safeway, without bumping into members of 808 state, James, Roses etc.  Also of a departed mate. He had the biggest flares and when it rained they use to soak up water, damp to his knees. I know what I'm I'm going to be listening to this morning, thanks.

Reni lives, as the graffiti told us.

Mad ferret, innit?... Saw t'Roses at the Etihad, a few years ago. Proper proper.

... Literally just managed to get tickets to see Fat Manc Elvis (aka Morrissey) at the Apollo, Manchestershire, in October.

I saw him a G-mex, years ago. It was almost evangelical. Lots of fat middle-aged people (like me), singing along ecstatically, in a state of rapture. If he'd said 'lets burn down the Reichstag, or Manchester town hall as its nearer, he's have had a willing crowd. I trust you'll be wearing a 'I (heart) the EU' t-shirt. Just to annoy mr Farage and co.

Top tip:

He used to live on Kings rd in Old Trafford. If you were the obsessive type....  He's bound to drive past his old house. You could use a police stinger, to puncture the tyres on his limo. Then ask for an autograph, and stand uncomfortably close to him whilst talking about the benefits of EU membership in relation to Owls, whilst he's waiting for the AA. Jus' sayin'.

I'll ask if his band do requests, and then put one in for Ode to Joy.

And it was all downhill after that.

Somewhat... Contrary to popular opinion, I thought that Second Coming was a decent album.

All for One was the nadir.

you Can hear where the Madchester sound came from here..
