Worst band of all time?
Have to be up there.
Manic Street Preachers
Some great output, some absolute dogshit.
The pair of albums with the Jenny Saville artwork (The Holy Bible and Journal For Plague Lovers) are absolutely superb.
The chart-friendly stuff (especially This Is My Truth, remarkably a huge winner at the Brit Awards) is absolute wank.
I saw them support Oasis at Maine Road, where there were 4 bands very much of that era (Cast, Ocean Colour Scene, the Manics and Oasis) on the bill, and they were far from the worst. They ran Oasis close for the best act on the day to be honest, and Cast and Ocean Colour Scene were absolutely turgid.
Worse than Hot Chip?
Richie still MIA?
This is absolutely nauseating -
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.
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.
Cankles-McJeggings The worst thing about the manics
See above Derm.
They should all follow Richie’s lead.
Yeah that’s bad.
The worst?
Uncle John.

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.
bosstrabs But it resulted in the best football chant of all time.
Thought that was “What’s that coming over the hill, is it Chimbonda? Pascal Chimbonda?”
Van Persie, when the girl says no, molest her.
Is the best.
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.
Millsy Van Persie, when the girl says no, molest her.
Is the best.
Aah yes, another one off the unitard rape conveyor belt.
Cankles-McJeggings
Why don’t you get your imaginary hammer out and ‘sort’ them Derm?
That’ll teach ‘em
Not another one with a sore botty.
Cheers Ben’s, spreadsheet updated.
Benson has joined Alistair as another person whose musical creds are in absolute tatters.
The Holy Bible is a great album.
Love Generation Terrorist, everything else is poor
This is probably as good as punk music gets…
<Hugo>I’d actually call it more hard rock than punk.</Hugo>
Fuck off Hugo, you neurodivergent shitspammer.
bosstrabs yeah good tune that.
Have always liked Motorcycle Emptiness. Design for life can do one though
