Stone Roses' Second Coming gets some points for presumption, and loses several million for being rubbish. The Beatles is a pun beneath even me… I'll think of more later.

This week's Friday conundrum
Worst (or most misleading) book title, band name, album or other creative effort? What's the most disappointing experience of your life? The event or thing that seemed to promise everything, only to let you down? ('Birth' is not allowed).

They Were The Resurrection And The Life
20 years since the Stone Roses' first album, before their second, Oasis and lad-rock killed proper indie. To celebrate, here's their appearance in Wolverhampton: at the Magistrate's Court, for trashing their label's office in revenge for being completely ripped off.


Stick to the first, transcendent album if you don't know their stuff. It transformed the UK music scene after a terrible few years. The 2nd, The Second Coming, is mostly poor, and the bootlegs aren't worth getting because Ian Brown can't sing (and, it turns out, write music on his own). Despite being overplayed at every indie disco ever, that first album still sends a rush of blood to the head.
