The Stone Roses-The Stone Roses (1989)

In the late eighties, The Stone Roses presented their debut album, showcasing the cheerful and carefree side of Britpop, with a series of songs that inherited the pop-rock sounds of The Beatles and the psychedelic folk of The Byrds from the 60s. Founded in the city of Manchester a few years earlier by vocalist Ian Brown along with bassist Gary "Mani" Mounfield, drummer Alan John "Reni" Wren and guitarist John Squire, they created a collection of melodic and very simple pieces with a contemporary flavor. This debut is considered one of the fundamental works in the development and evolution of the so-called Manchester movement of the late 80s and early 90s. From the psychedelic frameworks of "Don't Stop", to the chords and attractive vocals of "Waterfall", passing through the outstanding pop rock "I Wanna Be Adored", "Made of Stone" and "Bye Bye Badman", the beautiful "Lizabeth My Dear" or the complex "I Am the Resurrection", together they make up a work that was highly appreciated by critics and a resounding success on the charts in half the world.
