Comprising guitarist John Squire, Ian Brown on vocals, Alan “Reni” Wren on drums, and the late bassist Gary “Mani” Mounfield, the Stone Roses emerged from the vibrant Manchester music scene in the late 1980s with a brand-new sound that combined ’60s guitar pop with contemporary dance grooves.
Powered by one of the best rhythm sections of the decade, their self-titled debut album filled the dancefloors of student unions everywhere, and introduced a whole generation of rock fans to the joy of dance music and club culture.
