Great share Ryan, that's brilliant!!

Yeah, you’re exactly right. After seeing them though the song that stuck in my head was Love Spreads Around

Yes, it is under appreciated. It's really a John Squire album, I think. The first Ian Brown solo album (1998) would have been kool with Squire and that perhaps would have been the real second Roses album. However, Second Coming is solid and has great songs

John Squire himself is greatly under-appreciated as well. Such a genius guitarist. And then there's this beauty! www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7GS...

It took me a lot of listens, but came around to loving this album. It was never going to live up to the expectations of their debut for many people and so it was dismissed.

When I was working in France in the early 80s we used to listen to the radio, every 30 minutes they played a jingle “Je suis Johnny Halliday, j’ecoute ERG”. Sorry for any translation errors

Indeed! Not sure I can watch that series though. The film Amadeus is a Top 5 of all time for me, and I have a hard time seeing the actor chosen for the series in the role of Mozart. You'll have to tell me if it's worth it.

#MusicHistory On this day, 1994, The Stone Roses released their 2nd & final album, Second Coming, on Geffen Records. Three singles were released in the UK, "Love Spreads", "Ten Storey Love Song," & "Begging You". Album cover designed by lead guitarist John Squire. I think it's under appreciated.

As well as Monkey Man. A deeper cut and a great rocker. Have a great weekend!

Oh yeah Rich, "Monkey Man" is supreme! That's what I call some dirty rock-n-roll!

#MusicHistory On this day, 1981, Henry Rollins, Greg Ginn, Dez Cadena, Chuck Dukowski & Robo, better known as Black Flag released their debut album Damaged. The cover art, taken by punk photographer Ed Colver, features Rollins putting his fist through a mirror. An influential beast of a record!

I need a 4K remastered version of this!

Classic!!!
