#GreatAlbums1980s - #TheStoneRoses – The Stone Roses (1989). This hyped-to-death group did for the UK something like REM did for the US – interpreting the past (60s pop jangle, late 60s psych, post-punk diffusion, etc.) in a way that sounded entirely contemporary. Blur, Oasis, Suede, and (the) Verve are their stylistic descendants. But Ian Brown's reverberant vocals and John Squire's squalling guitar made this quintessential Madchester music – the culmination of that scene.

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

Apparently there are people out there who think it's inappropriate to use Mastodon to talk about books you've written or promote projects you've worked on because it's marketing and self-promotion?

I am not one of those people. I implore you to write about the work you have done and the things you have made - I want to hear about that stuff!
