It's a stellar tune, there's no debating that, but this version leaves me unmoved. I'm not sure that the world really needs a ballad like version of I Wanna Be Adored.

The great thing about the original is the swagger and sheer cock of the walk attitude that infuses it. Ian Brown and the lads are on their debut album for christssake and they lead off with this song. How could you help but be pulled right in.

In hindsight, given their subsequent output, it's nothing if not hubristic but at the time you couldn't help smiling especially since they probably beat the Gallagher brothers to the punch who, if you need reminding, led off their debut album with a song called, with similar conceit, Rock n Roll Star.

Now here we get Damon Gough, not demanding adoration exactly, more like pleading for it. It doesn't really work. And I love the man.

Are there any other debut records you can think of that start off with a statement of intent like these two.
