It's a shame; the lyrics of Manic Street Preachers could've been the defining trait of a great band. Too bad their music is so tedious and bland For the most part, I...kind of agree? There are exceptions, though. "Le Vent Nous Portera" was good, but, you know, this rankdown.

Can't say I was expecting Noir DĂ©sir to make it very far unfortunately, although I would've loved to be proven wrong. Despite the lead singer's personal wrongdoings, this song is a true gem Also somewhat surprised that someone ranked it higher than I, the resident Frenchman, lol It was a fun song! Sad to see it down this low :(

I bet you "Helicopter" wouldn't have been in this spot.
I can't even really complain, I lost every single one of my bottom tens (except for the obvious ones that wouldn't be this low) before this song.

This is both extremely odd as a popular Nick Cave song...but also one that kind of makes sense, because of how safe it is, especially for Nick.

Pretty good attempt at a "Hey Jude"-like song. Its biggest issue in my ranking was lack of familiarity more than anything else.

This song was in a rankdown of mine, and it's barely in my top 15.
I keep telling you guys, the top ten is an RFS.

Really solid, but, again, lack of real familiarity. I had heard this song before, but mostly in passing.
