Primal Scream's Sonic Flower Groove. It's not very good though.

What about early House of Love or Pale Saints?

Poptastic and hazy, not sure about the druggy though.

Everything that sounds, or tries to sound, like The Stone Roses is shit.

I say this as me, you understand, the boy who loves them more than life itself, almost.

I've been looking for something to fill this niche for so long. :(

Listen to The Small Faces' "The Journey" off of Ogden's Nut Gone Flake to hear The Stone Roses sound 35 years ago.

Flipper's Guitar - Dr Head's World Tower. Basically reincarnates the Roses/Madchester vibe in Tokyo, 1991. And manages to be the shit.

PRIMAL SCREAM - SCREAMADELICA

especially 'Slip Inside This House.' That song blows my mind.

― LA75 (LA75), Saturday, 2 August 2003 04:12 (twenty years ago) link

YESSSSSSS! I LURV THAT SONG. Gillespie's voice on that is choice.

Don't know how much this sounds like The Stone Roses, but I suspect you'd like The Chills' "Submarine Bells".

Departure Lounge are another band in the same vein, a bit folkier -- their last album, "Too Late To Die Young" had some Stone Roses qualities.

I also second Marcus above: the Small Faces are an essential listen.

Everybody always says that the guitar solo in "Velocity Girl" by Primal Scream somehow "invented" the Stone Roses. Nonsense. Still a good song though.

I suppose you're looking for chimey arpeggiated guitars a la "Bye Bye Badman". Here's a couple:

R.E.M. - "Wolves, Lower" and "Shaking Through" (I hear a lot of Peter Buck in John Squire's guitar style.)
The Byrds - "Mr. Tambourine Man"
The Church - "The Unguarded Moment"
Disco Inferno - "Love Stepping Out"

And, of course, there's every song the first two Oasis albums. Liam Gallagher stole Ian Brown's sense of cool and got all the credit for it. Shame, because I feel the Roses were an infinitely better band.

most of the bands on this thread are awful. dylans are probably the worst.
