This week, we step into the jangly, swaggering world of The Stone Roses’ iconic self-titled debut, the album that helped ignite the Madchester scene and still feels impossibly cool. Todd taps into the psychedelic grooves and big-sky guitars that defined a generation, while Riley hears it with fresh ears and maybe questions whether this is what all the fuss was about. We talk baggy rhythms, sneaky-sharp lyrics, and how a band could sound both laid-back and laser-precise at the same time. From “I Wanna Be Adored” to the epic swirl of “I Am the Resurrection,” we break down why this album continues to echo through modern indie rock.
