Comment:

Not much to mix here, as the Roses built their reputation largely on the basis of a single album. But oh what an album it was -- the immortal '89 self-titled debut, which managed to rise above like-minded psychedelic-retro Europop/dance bands of the late '80's (see, e.g., Charlatans UK, Ride, etc.) and set up the whole Europop revival of the 90's (Oasis, Blur, Pulp, etc.). Alas, contract disputes and other problems kept them out of the limelight for another five years, by which time their star had faded. Most of this is drawn from that album and the excellent collection of singles & b-sides (Complete Stone Roses). The balance (the last 5 tracks) comes from the belated follow-up, which should be hated on general principles -- nobody, hype or no hype, should name a long-awaited sophomore effort Second Coming and expect to escape ridicule. That said, the album was far less terrible than most critics would have you believe -- at worst, it was just kinda dull and irrelevant, but there was some excellent guitar work and a few remnants of the stellar psych-pop melodies that made the debut so wonderful. (There's also a hard-to-find collection of early tracks, Garage Flower, which is pretty great, but I didn't use any of it on the mix as it didn't really fit the vibe.)
