It really does!
I like the Stone Roses, but I don't think that they're the best of anything - - probably not even of bands that came out of Manchester in the same year they did.
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Here's the rest of the Observer list. Not great, but there's some gems on there.
Wow, here's some cluelessness (and some good stuff, too, to be fair) to remind us why politics & music are completely unrelated.
I'm looking to make myself a new mix cd- something along the lines of a "Hey you nitwit, snap out of it, it's summer, so be happy" kind of mix. (I spend lots of time in the car, so I make a lot of cds.) Anyone got any songs that shouldn't be left out?
"Good Vibrations"
A few more:
"Summer in the City"

A instant happy-making song for me on any summer mix is "Acuff-Rose" by Uncle Tupelo, but it will only work if you like the alt. country fiddle thing.
I am making mixes for my b-day party and they are difficult given how little new music I have bought over the past few months. But today - I will buy the new Wilco, Ghost is Born, FINALLY. I am not expecting it to be too mixable, though.
Re: Observer list.
I saw a band last night that listed the Stone Roses as their #1 influence. That seems oddly coincidental.
Takes notes.
I don't know much about the alt. country fiddle thing, but it sounds splendid.
Songs that = summer in cars to me
Summertime - DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
