Manic Street Preachers: The JAM's Best Song & Why THE LIBERTINES Were So Good? | Through The Decades

[@rasmusnomadic2338]

Met Nicky and James in the 90s, nice down to earth chaps the Manics. If I was choosing then Motorcycle Emptiness would be up there.

[@definitely_yana]

"- Is James the boss? - Sometimes. I like to make him think he's the boss." Hilarious! Nicky is such a sweet and intelligent person, absolutely love the video and his choice of the songs (and it's so nice to see him without the glasses as well). Really looking forward to the new manics' album!

What a brilliant interviewer this kid is

[@hyllaf]

yes. who is he? mr.wire enjoyed speaking to him

[@Shelsight]

@@hyllaf yep. Completely agree. And the woman who interviewed Paul Weller was just as good. Used both leading & open Qs in the right ratio. Both clearly did their research re Weller & Wire, their preferred artists and songs, but didn’t flag-wave it - just used the knowledge it to engage and nudge the interview fwd without ever taking over. Great to see/hear this approach rather than the YT vox-pops where the interviewers think they’re the centre of attention…

Nicky Wire I LOVE YOU

[@Xirsuyx]

Mcalmont n Butler. U r spot on Mr Nicholas Jones. YES!

[@adrianbrowne7962]

The image of " The Setting Sons " Was completely incongruous with " Going Underground " !! As the single " Wasn't " On that album originally!! But that aside good choices From Nicky Wire and an enjoyable interview!!! From Adrian Browne 1965

60s: She Came In Through The Bathroom Window (The Beatles) 70s: Bodies (The Sex Pistols) 80s: The Unforgettable Fire (U2) 90s: Columbia (Oasis) 00s: LSF (Kasabian) 10s: Saturday (Sam Fender) 20s: In My Sleep (Inhaler) Would be my picks

[@katepriest9257]

Solid list! Here’s mine: 60s: anything from abbey road side 2 70s: Heroes or Drive in Saturday 80s: How Soon Is Now 90s: Disco 2000 or Everything Must Go 00s: Barely Legal or Rehab 10s: RU Mine 20s: My Honest Face

[@TheGrimble]

As soon as he said it was a collaboration in the 90s I knew it was going to be McAlmont and Butler. What do I win?

A copy of Sonic 1 for the Master System.

[@mrmervinjminky1536]

Same, that song popped into my head yesterday too 🤔 haven’t heard it in years…away to listen to it now 🙂👍

[@iwouldprefernotto4381]

And makes sense because that song was so clearly a huge influence on the sound of Everything Must Go!

[@kalvino67]

Going Underground wasn’t actually on the Setting Sons album. In fact it wasn’t on any album.

[@absoluteradio]

Not originally but it was added to the album when it was re-released.

[@fortmak]

@@absoluteradio er... no it wasn't.. it was available on an extra disc with the deluxe edition but not to the actual album.

[@Mod-rw9cw]

@@absoluteradio No it wasn’t !!!

[@Philoyouknow]

Is it very sunny in that studio?

[@virgilrytaar9083]

It's 'braying sheep on my TV screen'

[@DaveyHotrod]

There's a weird connection here - the guitarist in Mott The Hoople, Mick Ronson played his last recorded output with The Wildhearts on 'My Baby Is A Headfuck' - they toured with the Manic Street Preachers in the early 90s & Nicky apparently injured himself playing leapfrog with The Wildhearts' tour manager 'Scabby John'...😂

[@alihart]

Never heard anything By Lana Del Rey but can't argue with the rest of the choices

[@JolieMcCartney24]

the libertines!! my favourite all time band

[@ChrisW444]

How Paul Weller wrote the lyrics and songs he did at the age he was with The Jam was pure genious. I don't think the Jam had any bad lyrics but an example of greatness is Private Hell, how someone aged 22 could write that is amazing. Not my favourite Jam song musically but the lyrics are brilliant. Good choices here Nicky.

[@johnny5805]

Apart from the fact Nicky looks like he's 30, I can't believe the Manics have been going for 37 years now !

[@beezlus_]

what the song in the background when chatting about simon and garfunkel, generic or a real tune ?

[@tunesmith86]

not a real song. just a tune that randomly generates whenever he speaks about simon and garfunkel. think it's called "water under the bridge" or something

Picking your own song? Don’t get me wrong, I could name a few manic’s songs worthy of getting close to this list, but that’s not one! It’s like the MSP’s 89th best tune 🤔 Valentine’s Day is indeed over.
