At what point did you realise the Manics were for you?

For me, it was a CD on the cover of Q magazine in December 1994 that had 4st 7lb on it. I'd heard Suicide is painless and La Tristesse Durera but nothing else. I can still remember the first time I played that cover mounted CD (It also had 'Slide Away' by Oasis on it) and was utterly transfixed. From that point on, I knew that the Manics would be the most important influence in my life.

What was the tipping point for you?
