I never was able to get much into these guys. Outside I Wanna Be Adored I always thought they were pretty mundane

I like this version better anyway. Raveonettes own this fucking song

The Stone Roses! They shamelessly ripped off 'their' signature sound from Can who got there a mere 18 years earlier. Then ripped off most of the songs from Primal Scream, Revolving Paint Dream, The Clouds, The Dentists etc...

They are one of the greatest scams in music history, a sort of Monkees for the empty headed drongo losers that proliferated during what was probably the worst period in the entire canon of popular music (1987-1990)

When separated from this thin conceit of dolling up other peoples sound and songs (often stolen note for fucking note) Ian Brown gave us some of the most abject vocal performances in human history including one which resulted in him being booed and bottled off at Glastonbury, perhaps the worlds least demanding audience of fucking Jemimas and Tarquins in existence.

Then John Squire gave us easily the most laughably bad band of the entire Britpop era (which is saying something) with The Seahorses, a group that made Shed Seven look like The Rolling Stones in '72. Finally there was Cressa, the unofficial 'fifth Rose' - for fuck sake, where do you start with that guy? All the talent of a drain in the body of an electrocuted monkey.

John Leckie should get every penny from this reunion for the great conjuring act he pulled of in '89.

If you like The Stone Roses you should have your pants pulled down and your buttock cheeks receive severe buffeting from the freakishly large, hob nail boot encased foot of a Mongolian gigantism sufferer.

That Raveonettes version is pretty good.

You sure do go on in agonizing detail about stuff you hate, which seems to be just about everything.

Of course, that's easy to do when you've got nothing but time on your hands. Dr. K, ladies and gentlemen, the English voice of the 99%.

And I'll give props to that Raveonettes version. "I Wanna Be Adored" has always been farther down the ladder than most other folks when it comes to favorite Stone Roses tunes.

Maybe you could just tell us how much you hate Fleet Foxes again?

I don't know how long it takes you to type a couple of paragraphs but it takes me no time at all.

Also, you could have at least got my nationality correct.

Touche. Though, if I may split hairs, my last rant re them was a re-post of something I was commissioned to write for my job (ie, not burning leisure time spewing invective on something I dislike) and wherein I resigned myself to "just not getting it", shrugging my shoulders and moving on. That was nearly 6 months ago.

To back up the point in my piece - that of Fleet Foxes resembling a bizarre ministry - I offer this: at ACL Fest last month I had to endure another Fleet Foxes set in order to get a good spot for Arcade Fire, who were playing on the same stage an hour later. Gal I was with had never heard Fleet Foxes but was looking forward to them based on hearing good things. Right away she was turned off and at the 20 minute mark she turns to me and says, no kidding; "This is awful. And it feels like we're surrounded by some kind of delusional cult."

Glad I'm not the only one.

There shouldn't be any discussion of Fleet Foxes in this thread because they suck.
