The Stone Roses' self titled debut album came out in 1989 and the British press went completely nuts... and the British press aren't always on the money with their hype ( remember Suede's debut album was supposed to be the best thing ever... does anyone play that now, and don't forget the Oasis/Blur battle that they were fixated with, while the rest of the world could see much more credibility in Radiohead.) but in this case the music lived up to the hype. The album was a classic slice of alt rock that is still consistently on best ever album lists. This was the start of the Madchester scene and they could never live up to it. "I Wanna Be Adored" is the perfect opening track to such an important album.
