Answer: The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones hit the top of the UK singles chart for the first time with "It's All Over Now", a song that had been suggested to them by New York disc jockey Murray the K. Released in 1964, it was a cover of a song by The Valentinos, the band of the Womack brothers, including the song's co-writer, Bobby.

Answer: The Stone Roses

"Elephant Stone" was a single that was first released by The Stone Roses in 1988. It was their third single and failed to chart. But on re-release two years later, after the band's debut album had been successful, it reached the top ten of the UK singles chart.

The strange title and lyric of the song, "Send me home like an elephant stone", has been suggested to be an allusion to Major-General Elphinstone of the British Army, a notoriously incompetent leader whose entire battalion was killed while retreating from battle in the Anglo-Afghan war of 1842.

Answer: The Stone Roses

"Fools Gold" (1989) is seen by many as the high point of the Madchester baggy scene of the late 1980s in the UK. It was originally slated to be the B-side to "What the World Is Waiting For" but despite the band's misgivings, they were persuaded to make the release a double A-side by their record label.

The label's judgment was proved to be inspired as it became the Roses' biggest hit to date, reaching the UK top ten and eventually going Platinum with sales of over 500,000 copies.

Answer: The Stone Roses

"Love Spreads" gave The Stone Roses their biggest hit in the UK. As the lead single off the long-awaited second album, "Second Coming", it peaked at number two in the UK singles chart. It was their first new song in over four years. In the intervening years, the band had fought a legal battle with their record label, sacked their manager and become parents. When they did eventually get into the studio to record new tracks, they were distracted and lacked unity, leading their producer to quit.

Geffen, their new record label, began to get very impatient and gave the band the hurry up. Eventually in December 1994, five and a half years on from the release of their debut effort, the second album saw the light of day to a very mixed critical reception.
