“Made of Stone” is a single from The Stone Roses’ sublime debut album. The band made their debut on national British TV by performing this song on the BBC’s The Late Show in September 1989.The album marked a turning point in the UK with a welcome return to guitar based rock and pop after a decade dominated by pretentious synth based, ‘shoe gazing’ bands. They proved to be a huge influence on the 90s Brit pop music and bands to follow, including Oasis.
