"Adam's Ribs" was the first single You Am I ever put out, a 1993 calling card from the Australian band's album Sound as Ever, released on rooArt. Tim Rogers wrote the words and shares the music credit with Andy Kent and Mark Tunaley, and Lee Ranaldo produced it, mixing it with Wayne Connolly, who also recorded it.
Junkee later heard it pushing the band's heavier, grungier instincts through a power-pop streamline, with a main riff that could belong to the Who as easily as to Nirvana, and meant that as praise. "Berlin Chair" came next.
