Manics driving playlist - Forever Delayed

StandAndStare · #1 19-06-2010, 09:25

I'm driving around Dorset and Cornwall in the summer and I'd like to do a manics playlist to listen to in the car. My friend, who's doing most of the driving, doesn't know much about the manics but I don't want to play their whole discography to her. Any suggestions?

Anything will do. I have a few Manics compilation CDs I made myself for my car, all different stuff, from singles, album tracks, few live numbers, b-sides to stuff like Ghosts of Christmas

Masking Tape, You Love Us, Motorcycle Emptiness, Australia, Jackie Collins, Prologue To History, We Are All Bourrgeois Now, Last Exit On Yesterday would be some of my picks, especially as it's going to be a summer playlist..

La Tristessa
Faster
Australia
You Stole The Sun

If You Tolerate This...
Small Black Flowers
The Everlasting
There By The Grace Of God
A Song For Departure
All Surface No Feeling

Am I the only person who misread this at a first quick glance as 'Manics driving test'?
That I'd like to see.
"Keep left and then crash..."

Donkey · #9 19-06-2010, 13:29

Just play Everything Must Go

franny · #10 19-06-2010, 13:34

Or SATT, i'd imagine it would help driving rather nicely

S.Y.M.M.

If you're going to put in There By The Grace of God I've always played To Repel Ghosts and Forever Delayed around it. They go together seemlessly. The eltroronic-rock period of their career. Haha.

Forever Delayed is definitely a "driving song"!
