At the time there were a lot of column inches about Squire's guitar heroics and the quality (or otherwise) of Brown's singing, but the sometimes overlooked rhythm section were vital in making the music danceable, and in doing so made it more than the sum of its parts. Mani and Reni made The Stone Roses funky, simple as that, and never more so than on their magnum opus, Fool's Gold.
RIP, Mani, gone too soon at just 63, no age at all. Didn't have that on my bingo card for this year.
