The plan will be to have all polls run live for 2 days from when they launch - so you have until Tuesday morning to show us what you've got with our tester set down this morning! #Manics #Choices

#poll 17/13 Pick your favourite / preferred #Manics song: 1️⃣ Condemned to Rock 'N' Roll 2️⃣ Motorcycle Emptiness 📊 Show results

So a random poll a-coming to see how committed you lot are to the chase!

If I could have another go be it’d be Montana/Autumn 78. Let there be rock.

Close My Eyes - the absolute antithesis of a b-side to Masses… it resonated with me 20 odd years ago, and it still does today

The Year of Purification. (But maybe I'm wrong and this song is universally liked?)

A personal one for me, Caldey.

Dead Trees and Traffic Islands. Prologue and Donkeys get all the b-side love, but it's gorgeous.

Thanks for all your responses today - great to see the chatter taking off! #ManicsLove

Futurology. Banging song, they should play it more often!

I know it's quite 'rated' but... Australia. To me it's the perfect four minute single, if it hadn't had been released fourth after three other brilliant tracks from EMG, it could have been a Number 1.

There By The Grace Of God. Gives me goosebumps. I think I’ve only heard it live once. I’d love to hear it again.

I don't know if it's underrated exactly, but either way, Intravenous Agnostic deserves more love

Condemned to Rock n Roll. Does exactly what it says on the tin.

I have been loyal to I Know The Numbers so I’m sticking with that 💕 @hollybaleen.bsky.social

Leviathan. Raw, brash, couldn’t give a fuck Manics at their best.

Underdogs. I don’t understand the hate. It’s brilliant and sounds like a return to early Manics

Bag Lady. Finally released on streaming platforms thanks to 168 Songs being released, but that was a true hidden gem. Depending on which version of Journal you bought you may not have even heard it. Probably in my top five Manics tracks. @mrenglish.bsky.social

What’s the most underrated #Manics track? Tag another fan in - only 399 to go!

We think you are too! Welcome to the family! (There's no prize but hopefully being part of lovely community)

Challenge! If you can all find one person (and I know some of have spread the word so well and we're hugely thankful!) to come along for the ride, we'll be in treble figures!

Eeek! We were close to celebrating 100 backers and we lost one! Apologies to anyone getting fed up with teaser posts and build up fatigue. It seems you get between 10-20% of people following actually voting consistently, so we need to 'market' before we start! Maybe you lot'll prove stats wrong!

Whether you discovered the #Manics in the 90s or last week, this place is for you. We’re aiming to rank every track, and your vote helps place them! Follow so you don't miss out!

Missed the 31st anniversary of Richey’s disappearance yesterday. I just can’t believe it’s been that long. I painted this very quickly last year then immediately felt grubby about exploiting him so I destroyed it. KOMOREBI Acrylic and Oil on Canvas 2025 @everymanicssong.bsky.social

We think we know the answer, but... Which album do you think will dominate once every track has faced the other?

Australia. Knebworth 10 Aug 1996. It’s been one of my favorites ever since … for a multitude of reasons ❤️

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. 🥰

Suicide is painless video on tv. Can't remember which show now. But wow.

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!

it was Motown Junk which i heard on Snub TV on BBC 2 around 1990 and i was hooked

Know anyone who fits the bill?

Thanks to those who are sharing their first #Manics song interaction tales! Keep them coming!

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.
