It was a recording that is still often listed as one of the best albums ever made. Its chiming guitar riffs, anthemic melodies, and Smiths-like pop sensibility elevated The Stone Roses to a cult-like status in the UK and put them on the map in the U.S. But theirs is a story of unfulfilled success: their star imploded as their sophomore effort took years to complete and the band broke up acrimoniously in 1996. Sixteen years later, they reunited and have been playing sold out gigs, thrilling fans around the globe, and working on new material. In 2013, they nabbed the coveted headline spot at the Coachella Festival. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith one hundred interviews of key figures, forty rare photographs, and exclusive insider material including how they created their music, \u003ci\u003eThe Stone Roses \u003c\/i\u003echarts the band's rise from the backwaters of Manchester to becoming the stars of the Madchester scene to their successful comeback years later.
