77. I Wanna be Adored by The Stone Roses 1991

I was DJing at KAOS in North Melbourne when the promoter Ronnie Williams turned up with a bunch of singles that had been recommended by to him by a hip record shop in Chapel Street. The only one that didn't work was The Stone Roses "Made Of Stone" I had heard he hype but I just couldn't get it from the single.
Six months later it seemed they were the coolest band in the world. And listening to the album  made it all make sense. Just playing tracks off this album at Lizard lounge made you feel cool.
This is my favourite track off one of my favourite albums. It transports me to another place. Once I put this song on I have to listen to the whole album. It's one of those albums that makes you want to be part of a band and just play guitars all night long.

They toured Australia after the release of their disappointing second album and unfortunately they were pretty bad. I saw them at the Metro and Ian Brown couldn't sing for toffee.
Later I contributed to a book about this album for the 331/3 series where they interviewed me about it's influence. And it did. It made me want to pick up an electric guitar again. And write tunes.
