Which alternative rock band released the 1989 album 'The Stone Roses'?
Answer
The Stone Roses
Answer
The Stone Roses
The Stone Roses released their self-titled alternative rock album The Stone Roses in 1989.
The Manchester band's debut combined jangly guitar pop with danceable rhythms and psychedelic influences. Produced by John Leckie, it helped define the sound later associated with the Madchester movement, a scene linking independent rock with club culture.
The album includes “I Wanna Be Adored,” “She Bangs the Drums,” and “Fools Gold.” Although “Fools Gold” was added to later editions and became a major hit, it was not part of the original album sequence in every market.
The Stone Roses reached number 19 on the UK Albums Chart on its initial release. Its influence became clearer in the 1990s, particularly on Britpop groups such as Oasis, even though the band itself had formed years earlier.
