We're all fans of #ManicStreetPreachers around here. Some of us will know more of their discography than others. In an effort to share some musical history, we'll suggest a #Manics track... and you nominate a sibling! Another track by the band you think pairs through content, theme, sound... (1/2)

So... has there been a particular #Manics song or lyric that has fundamentally changed your outlook on politics, culture or life in general?

Everything Must Go is... 30. I've written a piece about what the album meant to me growing up (see early 20s attempt at Nicky Wire styling) - and how it still sounds amazing now. Black feathers forever 🖤 via @thequietus.com thequietus.com/opinion-and-...
A review essay I've written on the @keithcameron2.bsky.social book 168 Songs of Hatred and Failure on the Manic Street Preachers. Or it started as a review and then morphed into taking inspiration from the book's format and writing my own band history. It's a long read, but a fascinating one.

Apologies it's been a while. IT issues at EMS HQ. Hope all well with this #Manics community. If you went to Hay tell us all about it!
They said they would sell millions of their debut, play Wembley and split up. What if... the #Manics had disbanded after releasing Generation Terrorists? What ONE song released post that first album could you not imagine living without?
Some great comments to this, thanks all! Keep them coming if you haven't had a say yet!

The answer is apparently If You Tolerate, although we wonder if that is linked to a general air of frustration of it replacing ADFL as current set closer!? Second place goes to You Stole the Sun. Cheers for everyone's comments and votes!
