Manics Top 50s - 5th May 2015 part 2

Three more charts here from that action-packed Tuesday earlier in the week, the first one is another with a piece written by the person in question and like quite a few of the charts this week has a fair selection from one of the under-appreciated albums, Know Your Enemy, as does the second chart.  The second chart also sees a new number 1 selected from another album that generally picks up less votes, Lifeblood.

Chart 3 sees a return to the more familiar Holy Bible claiming the most entries, although as always there are some individual choices creeping in to make it unique.  Another blog will follow tomorrow with Wednesday's single chart, hopefully in the meantime we'll have had a few more, keep 'em coming and spread the word, we're halfway to getting the same number as last time!

Lonesome Aesthetic @LillyEnigma

"Been a Manics fan on my own from about age 15 (10 years!) really got attracted by the "Glamour Twins" sexyness and feminist lyrics of Generation Terrorists, the spiritually questioning lyrics to "Cruicifix Kiss" in particular. Introduction to Nietzsche quoted in the cover, fascinated with the horrific lyrics of THB, new to the fan scene. THB refuelled my questioning agnosticism, and in a lot of ways fuelled my desire to get back into education. I identify strongly with Richey's struggles with truth and religion why I started up Scriptureinterrogator.tumblr.com

The songs I've chosen particularly the top 20 have significance, Tsunami I heard live and burst into tears because the beauty of music you forget what associations you have, "Yes" my first experience of fiercely following THB lyric book and being so so shocked by the lyrics, "Baby Elian" first experience hearing it beautifully acoustic on the Louder Than War DVD..."
