A Manic Street Preachers Song Contest! Random song vs song, until all 59,340 combinations are done. What will you choose? (Banner photo: Alex Lake)
Fun fact: ‘Motorcycle Emptiness’ was inspired by Hinton's Rumble Fish. Soon it will continue it's battle against every other track in the #Manics catalogue.

How it works:

• A lead track is randomly selected (or sometimes for a reason!)
• Between 10 to 15 other songs are paired with it to create a batch of polls
• You vote
• And so on, until Every #Manics Song has faced Every other #Manics Song.

We're looking forward to picking up the #Manics Discography Showdown around here. Every track vs every track. A decades continuous fan powered ranking experiment!

Late to the party, it was Some Kind of Nothingness on Strictly, although I do remember James in the LBN video, back in the day 😁

A Design for Life. Saw the video when it was released. I was 11. Utterly transfixed by it. It felt very final and almost desperate. It meant something I couldn't describe.

Couldn't access anything else until about 13YO when a friend copied Truth and EMG onto one tape. 100% fan for life by then.

Kind of a 2 pronged answer. You Stole The Sun probably the first song that resonated with me and made me buy TIMT. It was going through the back catalogue and listening to La Tristesse Durera that was my lightbulb moment.

Motorcycle Emptiness. The song and the video. 🎵💙 It made me fall in love with the band and they’ve been my faves for 31 years and counting. 🥰

What was the first #Manics song you fell in love with? That meant so much? That took you somewhere, got you involved in something, revitalised or helped you move forward?

Let us know!

Either Slash N Burn or Nat West. I had heard of the band before A Design For Life came out but couldn’t have named any songs. I started with Generation Terrorists and was hooked

I first heard ‘Tolerate’ after it‘s music video appeared on my YT recommended. It went from just that song, which sounded a lot different to what I expected I will admit but so good, to the TIMTTMY album and beyond. They are amazing

Manics fans we need your help!
Next year is 40 years of the Manics, so we're making a very special edition of the zine.
In order to make it, we'd like to get as many manics fans involved as we can, as our idea for the zine is not only a celebration of the band we love so much but also the fandom.

I was given a tape by my Father’s friend in 1992, after he heard I’d been listening to Rage Against The Machine, and there wasn’t much I liked on it at first but one song cut through- that was Motorcycle Emptiness and the tape was, of course, Generation Terrorists. I was 12. Changed my life.

From the early days to latest releases, Every Manics Song means something to someone. We’re building a fan based ranking of their entire studio discography, and your memories and favourites deserve to play a role. Your time to influence is coming!

15 studio albums. Around 60 singles. Bonus tracks and anniversary additions. Over 340 eligible songs. What happens if every track faces off against every other track? Spread the word — the project restarts at an ambitious 500 followers.

Something big is coming for #Manics fans. Something involving every studio track. Follow & share — we would love to hit 500 followers* before we launch!

(*not out of vanity or neediness, just to give the results more of a chance!)
