Doolittle is perfect! The Stone Roses are much worse than people think. The Fall are as good as a flotilla of dreadnoughts. Why Funhouse?!

There is no culture is my brag
Your taste for bull---t
reveals a lust for a home of office
This is the home of the vain!
This is the home of the vain!
Where are the obligatory niggers?
Hey there f---face!!
Hey there f---face!!
There are twelve people in the world
The rest are paste
This is the home of the vain!
This is the home of the vain!
I just left the hotel amnesia
I had to go there
Where it is i can't remember
But now I can remember
Now i can remember
Hafta! hafta!
Message or yer! message for yer!
Too much reliance in girls here
behind every shell-actor
Snobbier snobbier
Too much romantic here
I destroy romantics, actors
Kill it!
Kill it!
Kill it!
Kill it!
Kill it!
You won't find anything more ridiculous, than this new profile
Razor unit, made with the highest british attention to the Wrong
detail, become obsolete units surrounded by hail.
The classical!
The classical!
The classical!
Hotel aggro!
Message for yer! message for yer!
The classical!
Poleaxe a!... one of the millenium of conspiracy
Forever, I know it means a lot of stomach gas
i k n o w i t m e a n s a l o t o f s t o m a c h g a ssssss
I've never felt better in my life
I've never felt better in my life
Poleaxe a! The classical!
Stomach gas
I've never felt better in my life
I've never felt better in my life
Poleaxe a! Millenium of conspiracy
Play out classical
I've never felt better in my life
Better in my life...

I was lucky enough to see them in 1997. Top act. "Woke up this morning & got myself a gun"--is that from Coldharbour Lane? Are they still going? The last one I have of theirs is La Peste.

"I'm not going to Goa" was the only decent radio song I recall from the summer of '96.

My woman wears a long black veil because I always walk the line...

Good song! Thanks.

The Stone Roses is evocative of a particular time in life which is why it always makes my best list. Funhouse is one of those albums that opened my ears and took me away from my childish favourites. I could easily replace it with Infected by The The or a few others.

I understand. You must be 30-35...I'd put Screamadelica down for that.

The best albums are always the ones that never fail to teleport you to another time and place.

Sadly very nearly at the upper limit of that age bracket 🙁

Screamadelica is another that comes close for me too
