Anyone else Love the Manic Street Preachers?

Question

I cry when I hear some of their old stuff!

Answer 1

umm no theyre only ok

Answer 2

Yes, although I prefer their stuff before Ritchie Edwards mysteriously disappeared.

Answer 3

I like them, don't loooove , but I really like them, they have been a remarkable  oddity in music specially with "The Holy Bible"  

Answer 4

Only up until Everything Must Go, when they started to turn mainstream. Everything since then has been rubbish. The Holy Bible is an amazingly good album, however.

Answer 5

Yes. I love them.To me the only album I dislike is Gold Against the Soul.Know Your Enemy could have been an excellent album had they left about 5 filler songs of it.Now it's only a good album.A lot of people hated Lifeblood, but I quite like it.1985, The Love of Richard Nixon & Empty Souls are the best opening 3 tracks on any of their albums.Send Away the Tigers is their best since This is My Truth Tell Me Yours.But the two essential must have albums remain The Holy Bible & Everything Must Go.They do very good cover versions, have you heard disc two of Lipstick Traces?Excellent.

Songs like Yes, She is suffering & Faster still blows me away?

I Think James Dean Bradfield is one of the most underrated songwriters & guitarists, because he & Sean had to take the lyrics Nicky & Richey gave them and make songs out of it.If you look at the lyric for the Holy Bible for instance, you wouldn't believe someone could make a rock song out of it, yet they did & some like PCP & Revol was quite catchy too.

Answer 6

yes... but not me!

Answer 7

I love them too. I love their version of suicide is painless and Rock"n"Roll
