In 1983, legendary Manchester pop group, The Stone Roses, were born. Their innovative fusion of dance rhythms and punk rock earned them worldwide fame and adoration throughout the late eighties and early-to-mid nineties.

Every week, I will write about a different song that I believe is important to the Roses’ story and their development as a band. In each post I plan to detail the context of the song, my personal feelings about the song, and how the song affected the band.

Get ready for my first post where I’ll discuss the Roses’ debut single, So Young.
