Smallman1 Political songs about the Spanish civil war was just what we needed to cheer us all up in the 90’s.

Cankles-McJeggings I went to school with one of hot chip. He’s also in LCD soundsystem.

Manics were great for their time. They have a 90s melancholy to them which sits will with my teenage angst of the time.

    Smallman1 not the worst but definitely overrated. What redeems them is they are reliably good live.

    bosstrabs But it resulted in the best football chant of all time.

    Lol!

    Very true!

    Hate how people refer to them as ‘the Manics’ too

    Fuck off.

      The worst thing about the manics is all the Welsh pricks who take their silly flags to all their gigs. Ooh look at us we’re Welsh with massive inferiority complexes. Bellends.

        Smallman1 the Janet Street-Preachers are definitely in the same coversation as Pulp, Elbow, Supergrass, Belle & Sebastian, and anything else Jo Whiley played. She’s heavily responsible for this collection of crap.

        Manics weren’t a patch on the Shirehorses.

          Thought that was “What’s that coming over the hill, is it Chimbonda? Pascal Chimbonda?”

          Millsy Van Persie, when the girl says no, molest her.

          Is the best.

          Corker!

          Also admittedly funny from the Mancs:
          Park, Park, wherever you may be,
          You eat dogs in your home country,
          But it could be worse,
          You could be scouse,
          Eating rats in your council house.
