Oh! And I have another contribution: Synchronicity by The Police. I'm thinking of the song "Mother." I really don't know what they were thinking - may someone enlighten me?
I honestly can't pick a true favorite from the Stone Roses album. Made Of Stone is the only one I'm less than enthusiastic about, and even that one has its virtues. Sugar Spun Sister took some time to grow on me, but now I adore it (pun (?) unintended).

Good call with Synchronicity. I'm not too wild about Walking In Your Footsteps or O My God, but Mother is just plain awful. Why Sting let Andy Summers contribute songs (don't even mention Behind My Camel) is beyond me. But man, side two of Synchronicity is just about perfect!
