For a hot minute, this was the greatest band alive. The Stone Roses never regained form after recording one of the strongest albums ever, but they deserve a ton of credit for inspiring a new musical era and helping to birth the Manchester scene. “I Wanna Be Adored” will forever be The Stone Roses’ anthem. It’s their entry into the rock world and perhaps it’s also a glimpse into what ultimately caused their demise. On every part of this track, there was an attitude that we haven’t heard before: Ian Brown’s insistent vocals, John Squire’s wailing guitar, Reni’s barrage of drums and that killer bass line from Mani that made bass guitar cool once again.

“I don't need to sell my soul. He's already in me.”
