The Manics' top 10 own songs

Right, some more goodies, and you're the first people I've told about this.

10 of the Manics' own best/favourite songs, according to Nick and Sean.
http://bbc.in/93pA72

Each song has a little story behind it from the duo, who I talked to last Thursday.

Enjoy!
James

good to see MASH's revival but I wouldn't say it's one of their best thanks for sharing.

I think it's more of an important song for them than a great one. I look at it like that for sure.

Thumbs up

Good choices, perhaps they should play Suicide Alley live, as a nice little surprise in the set! Much like Sorrow 16 on the JFPL tour!

I always assumed Dave Eringa's name is pronounced Er-inga, but Sean pronounces it Erin-ga.

I found that interesting.
