'Why So Sad's my favourite vid. I think the song would have lingered longer in fans hearts if it weren't for the 'ba da da's. The lyrics are some of the best on KYE.

Mines Tolerate, With notable mentions of Love of Nixon and Everything Must Go.

I did like the concept behind So Why So Sad, but it ended up looking messy

I'd kill for a video with the production values of So Why So Sad these days...

Those are great vids too - I think they've got a lot better vids than people are giving them credit.

Tolerates my fave video, like Revol as well, also anyone notice the flaw with the blood in the tolerate video where the water starts to go bloody but then like next scene so to speak you can see a clear water fountain in the background or someit, haven't seen the vid in a lil while but on the remix on FD ya can see there's bits they missed out n stuff too

Bumping a thread that's almost 7 years old? Well, it's better than starting a new one I suppose

This is still my favourite Manics video, with "Faster" being a very close second.

I expect this opinion will be controversial with some.

What the hell, I'll do a Top 5:

1. Motorcycle Emptiness
2. Kevin Carter
3. Faster
4. La Tristesse Durera
5. Found That Soul

Autumnsong is, without a doubt, the absolute worst. Even Let Robeson Sing beats it.

I'm not sure which my favourite is, I'd have to dig through their videos once again, but I'll go for

Anthem for a Lost Cause
Little Baby Nothing
Autumnsong, the version with the two girls singing.

Tolerate, Everlasting and So Why So Sad

TIMTTMY and KYE era videos are my favorite.

I generally think their videos pre-HB are shit, but I've only seen up to Grace of God. But I adore Faster and Tsunami, and the EMG vids

T? ES? Acronyms really shouldn't be necessary if the song's under three words long.

Hands down it's the most recent one. Blows anything they've done before it away.

The last three videos from RTF have pissed all over the videos for Lifeblood, SATT, and well yes, JCEQT.
That said... I still love SWSS! I love the humour of the kid on the beach getting fired at.
But Richey era, it's Faster. ME was the first video I saw. I always loved the bit of Richey embarrassing himself trying to get the attention of the amphibian.
But Faster when put up against SWSS... I'm still going with SWSS.
And the next batch of videos look like they are going to be amazing, based on the raw fumes of the yet to be heard new album.

I think it's time for a Lego inspired video. Yes, I am still banging on about the Lego version of the Manics....
