小简介

80年代末期英国流行音乐进入低潮，曾创造英国新浪潮音乐的曼彻斯特，这期间也变得萧条。正当英国音乐将在沉闷中进入90年代的时候，一支叫做“石玫瑰”(The Stone Roses)的乐队出现了，1989年，他们的第一张专辑的出版，使英国“独立摇滚”(Indie-Rock)现象进入了新的时代。

“石玫瑰”也顺理成章地成了曼彻斯特独立摇滚界的领袖，这张专辑在音乐上很明显地受到了60年代美国民歌摇滚乐队“飞鸟”(The Byrds)的影响，同时也受到了80年代刚刚形成潮流趋势的Acid House舞曲音乐影响。他们把吉他流行乐与“独立摇滚”相融合并且进一步刺激了跳舞文化的发展，很快被传媒赋予了“新迷幻音乐”的称号。

“石玫瑰”受到乐迷欢迎最主要的是伊恩·布朗(Ian Brown)那漫不经心地演唱和孤傲、超然的性格；诱人的吉他演奏片段和起伏的节奏。不管是专辑中59秒的“我亲爱的伊丽莎白”(Elizabeth My Dear)还是近10分钟的“傻瓜金子”(Fools Gold)都显示了他们这方面的才能。专辑的前四首歌：“我要被崇拜了”(I Wanna Be Adored)、“她敲鼓”(She Bangs The Drums)、“大象石头”(Elephant Stone)和“瀑布”(Waterfall)清新简洁的编配和流畅的旋律使当时徘徊在乏味的英国音乐中的人们感到为之一振。

尽管“石玫瑰”引导了英国独立音乐的跳舞潮流，但是，他们的这张具有重大意义的唱片仅仅显露一点跳舞音乐的迹象。而真正把舞曲音乐发扬光大的是他们的同乡“808同盟”(808 States)和“快乐星期一”(Happy Mondays)。

但时间证明这张专辑的价值，嗡嗡的吉他声也能把跳舞音乐带给了听众，新浪潮音乐的复苏和新迷幻音乐的再生，并且能在90年代的流行音乐中不断地听到对这张专辑的回应之声。

Meshing 60s-styled guitar pop with an understated 80s dance beat, the Stone Roses defined the British guitar pop scene of the late 80s and early 90s. After their eponymous 1989 debut album became an English sensation, countless other groups in the same vein became popular, including the Charlatans UK, Inspiral Carpets, and Happy Mondays. However, the band was never able to capitalize on the promise of their first album, waiting five years before they released their second record and slowly disintegrating in the year and half after its release.

The Stone Roses emerged from the remains of English Rose, a Manchester-based band formed by schoolmates John Squire (guitar) and Ian Brown (vocals). In 1985, the Stone Roses officially formed, as Squire and Brown added drummer Reni (born Alan John Wren), guitarist Andy Couzens, and bassist Pete Garner. The group began playing warehouses around Manchester, cultivating a dedicated following rather quickly. Around this time, the group was a cross between classic British 60s guitar pop and heavy metal, with touches of goth rock. Couzens left the group in 1987, followed shortly afterward by Garner. Garner was replaced by Mani (born Gary Mounfield) and the group recorded its first single, So Young, which was released to little attention by Thin Line Records. At the end of 1987, the Stone Roses released their second single, Sally Cinnamon, which pointed the way toward the bands hook-laden, ringing guitar pop. By the fall of 1988, the band secured a contract with Silvertone Records and released Elephant Stone, a single that set the bands catchy neo-psychedelic guitar pop in stone.

Shortly after the release of Elephant Stone, the Stone Roses bandwagon took off in earnest. In early 1989, the group was playing sold-out gigs across Manchester and London. In May, the Stone Roses released their eponymous debut album, which demonstrated not only a predilection for 60s guitar hooks, but also a contemporary acid house rhythmic sensibility. The Stone Roses received rave reviews and soon a crop of similar-sounding bands appeared in the U.K. By the end of the summer, the Stone Roses were perceived as leading a wave of bands that fused rock & roll and acid house culture. She Bangs the Drums, the third single pulled from the debut, became the groups first Top 40 single at the end of the summer. In November, the group had its first Top Ten hit when Fools Gold climbed to number eight. By the end of the year, the band had moved from selling out clubs to selling out large theaters in the U.K.

For the first half of 1990, re-releases of the bands earlier singles clogged the charts. The group returned in July 1990 with the single One Love, which entered the charts at number four. Prior to the release of One Love, the Stone Roses organized their own festival at Spike Island in Widnes. The concert drew over 30,000 people and would prove to be their last concert in England for five years. After Spike Island, the Stone Roses became embroiled in a vicious legal battle with Silvertone Records.

The group wanted to leave the label but Silvertone took out a court injunction against the group, preventing them from releasing any new material. For the next two years, the band fought Silvertone Records while they allegedly prepared the follow-up to their debut album. However, the Stone Roses did next to nothing as the court case rolled on. In the meantime, several major record labels began negotiating with the band in secret. In March of 1991, the lawsuit went to court. Two months later, the Stone Roses won their case against Silvertone and signed a multi-million deal with Geffen Records.

For the next three years, the Stone Roses worked sporadically on their second album, leaving behind scores of uncompleted tapes. During these years, the group kept a low-profile in the press but that wasnt to preserve the mystique — they simply werent doing much of anything besides watching football. Finally, in the spring of 1994, Geffen demanded that the group finish the album and the band complied, completing the record, titled Second Coming, in the fall. Love Spreads, the Stone Roses comeback single, was debuted on Radio One in early November. The single received a lukewarm reaction and entered the charts at number two, not the expected number one. Second Coming received mixed reviews and only spent a few weeks in the Top Ten. The Stone Roses planned an international tour in early 1995 to support the album, but the plans kept unraveling at the last minute. Before they could set out on tour, Reni left the band, leaving the group without a drummer. He was replaced by Robbie Maddix, who had previously played in Rebel MC. After Maddix joined the band, they embarked on a short American tour at the conclusion of which John Squire broke his collar bone in a bike accident. Squires accident forced them to cancel a headlining spot at the 25th Glastonbury Festival, which would have been their first concert in the U.K. in five years. As Squire recuperated, the Stone Roses continued to sink in popularity and respect — even as their peers, the Charlatans and former Happy Mondays vocalist Shaun Ryder, made unexpectedly triumphant comebacks.

The Stone Roses added a keyboardist to the lineup prior to their U.K. tour at the end of 1995 — it was the first British tour since 1990. In the spring of 1996, John Squire announced that he was leaving the band he founded in order to form a new, more active band. The Stone Roses announced their intention to carry on with a new guitarist, but by October of that year the group was finished. Squires new band, Seahorses, released its debut album in June 1997, while Brown released his solo debut, Unfinished Monkey Business, early in 1998.
