Former Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown has said that he no longer listens to anything that could be termed 'indie music', despite the a major influence on many bands who would consider themselves such.
Brown told Angry Ape that he'd attempted to avoid using guitars at all on his new album, 'My Way', saying: "We wanted to try to be bold and see if we could make an album that still works without guitars. I don't actually personally get off on guitar music. Since the Pistols, I liked the Roses' first album but I honestly don't listen to any guitar bands, whoever they are. They call me an indie icon and all that, yet I don't listen to what you'd call indie music. I just don't".
