Re: Manics & World-Wide Domination

The Manic Street Preachers are actually a Welsh band, not English (they get
kinda funny about things like that.)  They're probably the biggest thing to
come out of Wales since Tom Jones' underpants.

I'm interested to know, what MSP single was it with Pete on the cover?

Incidentally, I don't see any point in splitting a decent list like this up
into 'countries of origin'.  The Who were a world-class act who deserve to
be apreciated globally on the World Wide Web.
