askygoneonfireDay 1: First time you heard Manics.
I don't know really, sometime on the radio. They were always there. The first time I heard a song that actually penetrated was You Stole the Sun from My Heart, which I bought as a single - the first cd single I ever bought, no less. And my official first single I bought (in reality, the first single I bought was Pray, by Take That....yeah.)
I agonised over whether to get CD1 or CD2 and plumped for CD1 because it had actual different tracks as the b-side(s) rather than remixes. The b-side was Socialist Serenade which, for 14 year old me, was a wee bit heavy. I remember listening to it tentatively, a few times. It was just...unlike everything else I owned and it remained in my record collection as something I kept going back to in the hope I'd...get it. A few short years later - 2002 to be precise - I did.
