First album was absolutely excellent with probably the best closing piece on any album ever (I Am the Resurrection) but the follow ups didn't do so much for me.  | |

There have been times when I've wished nuclear armageddon on Manchester, but fair do's they've produced a few decent bands. Love the first Stone Roses album, such a shame they couldn't sustain that level of brilliance.

She bangs the drums another awsome tune...
Ian brown still tours on his own he is doing a tour around England at moment anyone been and if so is it just his own stuff he sings,does he do any of the Roses stuff.

I think he now tours with a set list combining the two. I'd love to go see him at Brixton but the dates aren't too convenient for me - missed the last tour too 
I Wanna Be Adored or Sugar Spun Sister are probably my favourite Roses tracks, his solo cover of Billie Jean is great too

1st album - The Stone Roses 
2nd album - Second Coming
Compilations were:
Complete Stones Roses
The very best of
There have also been several cash-in's by Silvertone (there old record company)
Turns into Stone
Garage Flowers
Remixes
They really aren't worth bothering with to be honest IMO as these are basically early pre-production material, production values on this material is pretty poor which is why the band never wanted the material releasing.
Seem to recall just a few years back in a poll of HMV customers the first album was named best album of all time!

Put it this way, The Stone Roses saved British rock music. The 80's were utterly dire for music in this country. Apart from the few bands like The Smiths and Jesus and Mary Chain keeping a small glimmer of hope alive we were slowly drowning in a pile of Stock, Aitken and Waterman sewage. The music scene started to revive with the shoegazers in the late 80's but it was the Roses who done more than anyone to bring British rock music back to the masses and made it popular again. Without them we might not have had Oasis, Radiohead, Blur, Muse, the Manics, Coldplay, or just about anyone else.
Some might not like all of what has come since (I personally am sick and tired of Coldplay inspired moan rock like Keane and Travis) but the alternative is much worse. Can you imagine if the best act of the 90's was Robbie Williams?
On another note, I think Second Coming has stood up very well to age, possibly even better than the first album. I liked it when it first came out but I can understand why a lot of Roses fans didn't. It was a lot rockier and was a fairly big departure in sound. These days we're more used to the idea of a major act radically changing there sound from album to album (I'm looking at you Radiohead) but then it was unusual. I've been listening to it a lot lately and it really stands up as as great classic rock record.
Also, someone dissed the remix album earlier in the thread. I have to disagree, there are some fantastic mixes on there. You just need to remember its more of electronica album than a rock album.
