Manics Top 50s - 9th Oct 2021

Two charts here from a couple of people I had the pleasure of meeting at the recent gigs, first up is Liz, fresh from turning her Jersey to Cardiff nightmare into a positive with her onstage shoutout from Sir Nicholas of Wireshire himself.

And Nicky would be pleased to see Wattsville Blues, William's Last Words and Concrete Fields boosting the votes for Nicky vocals....in fact, what's that I hear?  A no-vote album track klaxon again?  Yes, Wattsville Blues' inclusion now means we're down to just eight album tracks with no votes yet.  Prologue To History also grabs its first number 1 slot.

Note: the rules have now been updated with a revised deadline of Sunday 5th December to take into account the early December gigs.

Our second chart comes from returning top 50-er Craig, who's the third person so far to give Motorcycle Emptiness top spot.  It's a solid top 10 full of songs you would mostly expect to be there or thereabouts in the final 50.

There's the now familiar sight of some pretty decent placings for The Ultra Vivid Lament songs and every album era gets a place, Everything Must Go just edging it with the most entries.
