I'm hardly objective, it was one of the firsts I've heard. I think it's alright.

Fair enough. It just sounds too shiney and jingley for me. Did they ever play it live, do you know?

There are several songs they've made that I dislike, but I think the worst offender must be 'Roses in the Hospital'. I absolutely can't stand that song! Lyrically it's alright, but musically, it send shivers down my spine, but not in a good way.

"Roses in the hospital" is actually in the Top 3 of my favourite MSP songs.

It could easily be my favourite! I just 'love' so many Manics songs, though.

I don't agree. It's a powerful song even if I never want to listen to it.

Worst songs for me is 'You Stole the Sun from My Heart.' I also never listen to 'Australia' because Im a big sulking cry baby and had a shitty, shitty time there. Scarily close to the lyrics of SATT actually. Oddly though, I really like that one.

1404 was a pathetic effort at something that I would have thought a Welsh band would want to get right.

Of their more successful tracks the one I never understood was Masses Against the Classes, though if you held a gun to my head I'd have to go for Wattsville Blues in the end.

I've probably answered this already, but for me the main contenders for the dubious title are:

Fragments
SYMM
So Why So Sad
And because of the dreadful, dreadful vocals, Wattsville Blues

Ooh, I forgot the Stars & Stripes version of Repeat. HATE.

I love Hibernation, though!

I'm not to hot on 'There by the Grace of God' or however there/their is spelt. Ocean spray bores me but i tolerate it because it's close to James's heart so feel guilty for not...Nostalgic Pushead and No one Knows What it's like to be me also suck immensely...but if they all came on the radio i would still woop and cheer
