### [Fools Gold](https://waxonia.com/track/the-stone-roses--fools-gold/)

*1989 · Silvertone · No. 1 in [Madchester](https://waxonia.com/genre/madchester/)*

A funk break lifted off a Bobby Byrd record, a wah-wah guitar and nine minutes of nobody hurrying. An indie band's biggest single is essentially a groove with some singing on it, and the country followed.
