6 and 7 have swapped, but are pretty much even
Tolerate's the best song, but I feel EMG's album tracks are a fraction stronger

[The Gutless Wonder]

I'm happy with my original list I think. No desire to change it at the moment!

Nope, she's dead on. 'IKTZ' is a great album with lots of ideas. 'TGW' is half great, but filled out with some of the blandest songs in the Manics' canon (I mean, 'On Saturday', 'Run Romeo Run', 'An English Gentleman' to name but a few of the bland moments).

Yay! I haven't listened to IKTZ for absolutely ages whereas TGW always gets a regular play. (Yes Nicky, it's true. Don't slap me.)

[Mr Richey]

I don't think you guys know what you're agreeing with me on!!

My point was IKTZ and TGW are NOT Manic Street Preachers albums. They're solo albums by two members of the Manics. This is old ground that's been raked over before, but it does irk me how some people can't seem to tell the difference between solo material and band material.


EXAMPLE: is All Things Must Pass a Beatles album?
ANSWER: of course it fucking isn't!!!
