Having finally got to see the Manics on their Postcards From A Young Man Tour at Brixton last weekend I have to say I was surprised - despite having seen them live a number of times now - just how great a live band they really are.
Now that the tour is officially over, and in light of last night's Blackwood Miners Institute gig, it feels like the most recent chapter of their story is coming to a close. As such, I'm going to stick my neck out and attempt to place 'Postcards' in the great pantheon of works the band have achieved over their plus 20 year career.
Brace yourself for what will no doubt be a controversial top 10 albums (in fact there are only 10) from the band who like to say 'Yes'!....
Albums
1) The Holy Bible (1994)
2) Everything Must Go (1996)
3) Journal For Plague Lovers (2009)
4) Postcards From A Young Man (2010)
5) Generation Terrorists (1992)
6) Gold Against The Soul (1993)
7) Send Away The Tigers (2007)
8) This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours (1998)
9) Know Your Enemy (2001)
10) Lifeblood (2004)
