The Stone Roses - “I Wanna Be Adored” (1989)

backleftlitz wrote a pretty smart post about how pitchfork media is like a well-intentioned big brother who tries to get you into good music. Thinking on this subject, I realized that allmusic was very much my musical big brother. For example, when I was 17, we still only had 56K internet on my family’s farm, but nevertheless I drove 40 miles to Best Buy and bought the Stone Roses’ debut album—sound unheard—on the strength of STE’s 5-star review and his tantalizing description of dance-oriented guitar pop. This I need to hear, I thought. I also bought the first Joy Division album and a Smiths compilation that day too. (Clearly, such musical guidance was not wasted on me.) And that’s my big brother story.
