Fools Gold
1989 · Silvertone
Ranked No. 1 in 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.

Fools Gold
1989 · Silvertone
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — Both Rooms
An indie band's biggest single is a groove with some singing over it. The exact point the two rooms merged, and they stayed merged for about three years before the doors went back up.

Fools Gold
1989 · Silvertone
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred
An indie band's biggest single is a groove with some singing on it, and a whole country followed them across the floor. The hinge record of British music.
