Re: The Manic Street Preachers Discussion MegaThread

If "They were at the forefront of all those things" actually means at the forefront of bringing those styles to his attention then I think it makes sense, they certainly did that for me. Hmmm possibly. But surely a rockabilly band/artist would be at the forefront of that genre. And I'm sure you had...

Re: Topper to Join ex-Motorhead Eddie Clarke and Pete Way - NME, August 1982

Reading August 1982.jpg It became really "rock" for a few years in the 80s. I went every year from '78 to '98. All bar one year when it was cancelled. It was only half an hours walk from my house. Aww, you will have seen some legendary headliners. Nirvana, New Order... Budgie :twitch: Budgie were l...

https://superdeluxeedition.com/news/manic-street-preachers-lifeblood-20th-anniversary-reissue/ I'm on the fence about buying this one.

The cat crept in - Mud (plus a mention for Tiger Feet!) The theme from Top Cat Everybody wants to be a cat - The Aristocats Catwalk - Siouxsie & the Banshees Stray cat strut - The Stray Cats See my top 5. ;) I missed that! I think we both agree that Feline is a very solid Stranglers album?

Re: What is your ideal alternative history Clash?

I'm pretty okay with everything as it occurred, even CTC since it's such a fascinating shit show. However, a full band album hot on the heels of the May 1984 tour would have been nice. Also an alternate history when they started doing worthwhile archival releases would have been great including my ...
