Ian Brown, the frontman of the Stone Roses, shares his musical milestones with Matt Everitt - the songs that defined his life and career.

Ian Brown, the frontman of the Stone Roses, shares his musical milestones with Matt Everitt.

Ian's swagger was certainly a big influence on Liam Gallagher and some argue that the band's 1989 album is the greatest debut of all time.

As well as the songs that defined his life, Ian discusses the making of that debut album, the break-up of the band and the breakdown of the relationship with his childhood friend and guitarist John Squire.

Ian also shares his memories of serving a four month prison sentence for air rage and his rebirth as a solo artist.

This programme first broadcast in August 2010.
