Klappentext

The Stone Roses revolutionized British pop. Think back..there hadn't been a great British street band, a people's band, since punk rock. And it took a band from Manchester, after an awkward couple of years trying to find their direction to suddenly flower, fusing dance and rock with natural ease. Embracing their rock 'n' roll past while looking to the future, their LP The Stone Roses is acknowledged as one of the most important albums of all time.

In this fully revised and updated edition of The Stone Roses and the Resurrection of British Pop, John Robb takes us on an exhilarating journey from the heady early days of the Roses to their emergences as an inspiration to a generation.

Setting the blueprint for the resurgence of UK rock 'n' roll in the 1990s, the Roses inimitable style continues to influence bands well into the new century. This classic biography puts the band in their rightful place in music history.
