    I love the Manics but I've been into them for years now but times than they have been around as they started when I was about 5 and I have only been a fan for since I was about 15. Saw them at Wembley a few years back when If you Tolerate This... had just come out they were awesome.

    My favourite old Manics album is Gold Against The Soul by like a mile (the tracks on their greatest hits album that originally featured on Gold Against The Soul are From Despair To Where and La Tristesse Durera (Scream To A Sigh) so if you can find a cheap old CD of that its well worth it. In fact the greatest hits has so many good tracks on it you have made me want to play it right now!

    Some good uns on that album, some toss too (Drug Drug Druggy). Holy Bible is the best album by a country mile, although it's not one that I play regularly. Generation Terrorists has some fantastic songs, Motorcycle Emptiness, Little Baby Nothing etc etc.

    Back to the original topic. Mine is David Bowie - there was a Best of CD kicking around in the car so I gave it a listen. Awesome.

    I've always been into older music, 70's and 80's. Been listening to a lot of Bowie too, and T-Rex. Plus the legendary Dire Straits.

    I love la tristesse durera, but i cant listen to too much manics stuff in a row, or it makes me want to kill myself.

    Most of my music taste isnt that modern tbh.

    The Holy Bible is the Manics most over-rated album in my opinion and contains far more toss than Gold Against The Soul. It's so fucking political for the sake of being political.

    Generation Terrorists is good- I don't know what makes Motorcycle Emptiness so good but it just is although again there are one or two tracks I dislike.

    Masses Against The Classes     and Suicide is Painless (Theme from M*A*S*H) are great too. I have a really old cassette tape version of Suicide is Painless that I've listened to so many times that it's all kind of streched so it was a relief that they put that on the greatest hits as it isn't on any of there albums so finding a replacement copy would be an arse.

    Sorry to hi-jack your thread Wheresmy... but a manics appreciation thread is better anyway :p

    Wow, the manics are really old. :p

    I've been in to Chuck Berry recently, Bob Dylan and I do have a soft spot for Sinatra.

    I thought that was the point. And it's Richey's final album.
