"Made of Stone" is a single from The Stone Roses' eponymous debut album.

The band made their début on national British TV by performing this song on the BBC's The Late Show in September 1989. A minute into the song, the power went out, prompting lead singer Ian Brown to walk off stage, cursing the venue.

The song has seen use in the 1997 American film, Heaven or Vegas and in the PSP 2005 videogame World Tour Soccer.

Jackson Pollock's No. 5, 1948 in the B-side "Going Down". Pollock's paintings influenced the cover art that guitarist John Squire did for the single and the album. The 12" vinyl's B-side "Guernica" is "Made of Stone" in reverse and with dubbed-over, unrelated lyrics.
