Was lurking through NME today and found this.
The Manics cover of 'Raindrops Keeps Falling On My Head' is there.

"Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Take That is the most hilarious thing I've ever heard.

this is just as odd as any other 'poll' NME presents. Ok, TT's 'Smells Like...' isn't the best but it is in NO WAY worse than Limp Bizkits 'Behind Blue Eyes' and Britney's 'I love rock n roll'
gaaahhhh.

I wish I hadn't read this thread because now I really want the imaginary 'Shatner sings the Manics' album that just appeared in my head.
