Manics Top 50s - 15th Sep 2021

To mark the opening of the third edition of the Manics Top 50s, it seemed fitting to give the first chart to a well-loved member of the Manics Family who is sadly no longer with us after passing away last year.

Many of you will have known Andy through Twitter, having conversations about Manics songs and collectables as well as music in general or his beloved Manchester City.  Many of you will also have met him at Manics gigs.

Through both previous editions of the Manics Top 50s and the Manics Fantasy Setlists, Andy was a regular contributor and so I have no doubt that he would have been springing into action like the rest of us to get his chart prepared and his choices included.  

So while he didn't get the opportunity to enjoy The Ultra Vivid Lament as we're all doing now, we can still include his voice here by taking his chart from 2015 and making sure he has as much a say in the outcome of this as we all do.
