Single That Time Forgot: "Love Spreads"

The Stone Roses were a fairly important band in the UK, but I didn't know much about except for hearing the song "Love Spreads" on WHFS and on 120 Minutes. I'll admit it didn't catch me 11 years ago, but it popped up on the radio when I was driving home in the rain late last week and I cranked up the factory stereo as loud as it would go. This was a pretty unapologetically rockin song. The first minute or so is all instrumental. Instead of lyrics, it was all a showcase for John Squire's guitar. The lyrics have some vague biblical symbolism, but it was all filling out the structure of great music as far as I'm concerned. It seems to end and turn into a different song at least twice and keeps the listening experience fresh.
Its a shame this wasn't a bigger hit, it would enjoy regular rotation as a classic cut on more radio stations.
