'Most important' Manics' album?

If you didn't get into the Manics when ADFL and TIMT came out, then FD is the best way.

Actually it turned me from a casual listener who liked James voice into an obsessed fan. It may only have one THB track on it, but what a track!

Anyway, I'm going to be boring and say EMG, for obvious reasons, although I agree with the OP that SATT was pretty important for changing people's perception of them in their later years.

I find that a diabolical suggestion, but probably true.
