@Burnley123 I have paid a criminal lack of attention to Manic Street Preachers. Where should I start? I literally only know that one song.

@CountScrofula I'm the best and worst person to ask.

Generation Terrorists: Guns N Roses Stadium Rock with Marxist/situationist Lyrics.
Gold Against the Soul: Grunge Metal. As above but with more self-loathing.]
The Holy Bible: The best album. Songs about serial killers and suicide victims. Like joy division but hard rock and really good.
Everything Must Go: The best album that REM never made.

Higlieghts of each in order:

@Burnley123 Awesome! I'll investigate shortly.

@CountScrofula It’s really hard to go wrong with the Manics, but I’d say The Holy Bible is the “start here” album. It’s their masterpiece.

@SW-User for most people I'd give Everything Must Go as the intro because its the best mainstream album but I agree Holy Bible is the fans choice.

They have done a lot of albums since the 90s and are still making them but its pretty patchy. The singles on This is My Truth tell me yours are good. Send Away the Tigers is the best late-era album IMO.
