Quality album.
RJD2 - Deadringer is worth a listen if you're into this stuff.

VC did choose Vera Lynn as a favourite so there may be something in this..
.....
We all know your fave album is Tom Jones Greatest Hits, Diafol.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No way VC.
It's 'Tom Jones Live in Treforest' that does it for me!

1994 was a strong year
Oasis Defintely Maybe
Blur Parklife
Prodigy Music for the Jilted Generation
Nirvana Unplugged in New York
MSP Holy Bible
Portishead Dummy
Stone Roses Second Coming
Jeff Buckley Grace
Suede Dog Man Star
R.E.M. Monster
Plus others
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Holy Bible is probably the Manics at their best, though it’s pretty dark stuff. Monster is vastly underrated. Dummy is incredible.
Been listening to Grace again recently. What a cover of Hallelujah.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm a big fan of the Manics. The Holy Bible is pretty bleak but is a sensational album IMO.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Years ago, I worked with a guy who loved Generation Terrorists but said the Manics sold out with Gold Against the Soul. No matter how much I told him that The Holy Bible made Generation Terrorists sound like a boyband in comparison, he wouldn’t listen to it. I wonder how many others felt the same.
Though I said The Holy Bible was probably their best work, I always go back to Everything Must Go as the defining Manics album.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Always felt that everything must go was over produced, too heavy on the strings, not a great fun of that one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When you listen really hard to that album and the strings they are really beautiful IMO. I do prefer them more raw though.
Just listening to Black by Pearl Jam. What a song to just sink into a bean bag and forget the world.

Without You I’m Nothing - Placebo (underrated album)
YUP. Especially when held up against their other albums
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s a legitimately good album. Starts with Pure Morning and is strong throughout, but I’d say you have to like the band to begin with.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree. Which is what the YUP was for. The title track is SO good. Prince of Bricks, Every You Every Me, Burger Queen...there's not really a weak track imo.
Which is why their albums that came after were so disappointing.
Saw Radiohead once at The Greek in 98. It was so amazing that Ive refused to see them since because I don't feel it can be topped and want to keep that forever.
Destroyer, during their Poison Season tour, changed my life. Just too damn good.

There was this festival called Woodstock. Landmark releases from The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Jackson 5, The Kinks, Bob Dylan, Neil Young (with Crazy Horse) and The Who. Led Zeppelin released its first two albums. Releases of “In the Court of the Crimson King,” possibly the greatest progressive rock album of its era, along with live albums from Johnny Cash, Grateful Dead and Elvis. David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” came out in time for the Apollo 11 moon landing. The Stooges and MC5 laid the groundwork for punk rock. Creedence Clearwater Revival released three albums.
Notable albums:
Led Zeppelin – "Led Zeppelin"/Led Zeppelin II"
The Beatles – "Abbey Road;"
The Rolling Stones – "Let It Bleed;"
Creedence Clearwater Revival – "Green River;"

----------------------------------------------------------------------
My favourite Manics songs are Enola/Alone and She is Suffering and they sort of capture the spirit of Everything Must Go and The Holy Bible respectively.
But I think Everything Must Go has great variety - pure rock and roll with Elvis Impersonator, the deliberately Nirvana-esque Removables and then, at the other end of the scale, Small Black Flowers with the exotic harp. Beautiful, era-defining album. The Holy Bible is raw black jagged energy and anger, but very insular. You’ve got to be in the right mood.
Clockwork. EMG introduced me to the Manics so it's always an album I go back to. Funnily enough Enola/Alone is the song I most remember from aeeing them at the Nynex in 97. It is a great album. Like you though it seems I too have to be in the mood to listen to a particular album and my favourite can change from time to time. At present it's Generation Terrorists but next month it could be GATS or SATG.
1977

They had a similar effect on me. For years afterwards, I would listen to a new album and think: “Yeah, but it’s no OK Computer.” God knows how many decent bands I never really got to know because my standards had been set so high
They are just that good. Like I said above, I’d genuinely class them as one if the most underrated bands, despite all the acclaim.
