Madchester

The Stone Roses were better musicians, songwriters and live performers(which isn't that surprising considering that, by most accounts, the Mondays were constantly obliterating themselves with drugs and didn't take touring particularly seriously) but the Mondays were genuinely a more forward-thinking idiosyncratic band, which gives them the advantage in my books.
The Stone Roses mixed The Smiths with The Beatles which is fine, but is also a fairly conservative and unremarkable bland of influences.
The Mondays were all over the place in terms of influences, which made them a lot more interesting. The Fall, Funkadelic, acid house, Gang Of Four, you could hear all these disparate sounds in what the Mondays were doing, and somehow they managed to make it all sound coherent and organic.

They also had Rowetta.

Also Shaun looks like my friends dad so the Happy Mondays are the better band.

I don't dabble in other people's music choices when I'm at their parties, I think that's rude.
I very rarely host parties myself. Like two or three times year. The preparation and the cleanups are a huge pain in the ass and at least 30% of the crowd there always, ALWAYS consists of people you've never met in your life, which tends to make me pretty anxious.
I don't play full albums either, I put together mix CDs and have them play throughout the night. Most of the shit on those CDs consists of normie-friendly 90s house and techno. Lots of remixes.
