Compilations, singles and live material (1995–2016) Following the band’s dissolution in the mid-1990s, several compilations and reissues appeared. Anthologies assembled singles, B-sides and alternate takes that illuminated the band’s development between 1987 and 1994. Live recordings—both official and bootleg—capture the Roses’ onstage chemistry: extended improvisations, single renditions, and the raw energy that fueled their reputation.

The Stone Roses' debut album, (1987), is often cited as one of the greatest albums of all time. Released on June 2, 1987, it includes hits like "I Wanna Be Adored" and "She Bangs the Drums." The album's blend of jangly guitars, catchy melodies, and Ian Brown's distinctive vocals set the tone for their future work.
