History of Music Lesson Numero Uno

As part of our ongoing mission to revitalise your playlist and save your musical souls, we have to take regular trips back into the past....and not without 1.21 gigawatts of pure listening pleasure.

Now the trip has already begun with a foray into the world of Fleetwood Mac courtesy of my reverend colleague
Giuliodj and even a look back at Dusty Springfield with the artist formerly known as Ike... but today we are going to rediscover our Northern Soul like its 1989.

Its hard not to notice how much great music came out of Manchester in the 80's and 90's. Groundbreaking inventive bands like Joy Division, New Order and The Smiths paved the way for one band that was to forever change the face of Rock and Roll: The Stone Roses.

Like 'em or hate 'em, there would have been no Oasis, no Charlatan and certainly no Kasabian without this band. Rock and roll meets funk crashed with a wild drum loop and wah wah pedals galore, saw the release of a track that you lack: "Fools Gold". Referencing Nancy Sinatra and the Marquis De Sade, this is a history lesson in itself that has a bassline to put you to shame.

Get educated and start your day on this link: Fools Gold
