War of the Roses

[Albion Dan]

The Stone Roses are the Nuts, its an insult to even measure them against some 80s soft metal outfit.

The debut album is the most timeless piece of music I have ever come across and still gets regular airtime on my stereo 14 years after its first play. LEGENDRY!

One of the easiest poll decisions I have had to make.

The band that produced one of the greatest, most important albums of the last 20 years, or the band that produced 'November Rain'.

and to the best of my knowledge ian brown never wore lycra.
i take everybody that voted gnr also like the darkness.
so you must love lycra.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

not a massive fan of either- but stone roses are better

guns 'n' roses had quite a lot of 'anthems' but at the end of the day they're shite(especially with axl turned them ultra gay)

 

[Thimble Keegan]

I like Guns N' Roses but this is silly because no band comes close to the Stone Roses.

Albion, England & Stone Roses forever.

[dougdeep]

Guns + Roses for me.

 

[babyshambles]

Stone Roses were great, ICA, Ally Pally, Spike Island, last tour at the Centre.
Too many memories.

GnR all I can remember is that they were shit. Spinal Tap anyone?

 

[El Presidente]

Stone Roses made the best debut album of all time (Steps excluded from contention of course)

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

No contest. Stone roses everytime.

 

[Lammy]

Guns 'n' Roses!

I want to vote again! I can't believe that people actually prefer the stone roses? Drivel!

 

[ripper]

Stone Roses.

Their album topped an Observer Poll of the best 100 albums recently

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Well that shows how wank the Observer is doesn't it....

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

One of them disappeared up his own axl

 

[El Presidente]

Guns 'n' Roses!

I want to vote again! I can't believe that people actually prefer the stone roses? Drivel!

I believe Graham Barrett is a big Guns and Roses fan too

Neither. Stone Roses are overrated, seriously. And Axl Rose is a tosser.

 

[JJ McClure]

Guns N' Roses by a mile.

yep i must agree that axl rose is a tosser and gnr are shite. but personally i would say that the stone roses were one of the most under rated bands ever. it seemed at the time that most people preferred the happy mondays to the stone roses and i must say that even though i did like the mondays they were over rated. how can you say the roses were over rated when they sold so many copys of the second coming even after the music critics slated it.
people bought it because they liked it so much despite of the slating it recieved. in other words it sold because of its quality. and nobody thought they would be able to produce a second album of such quality. they proved the world wrong.

The critics got bored waiting for it i reckon. It did take them 5 years to release their follow up but it seems that is was well worth the wait.

Well if we're going by that logic Guns 'n' Roses pisses on Stone Roses!

Appetite for Destruction = 15 million sold (still sells over 9,000 a week in the US alone)

Use your illusions 1 & 2 = 22 million
