me too ,but the Manic Street Preachers are a 90's band so I can only compare them with U2's albums from the 90's which weren't their best.
i dont really know the manic street preachers, but i strongly dislike u2, so i will abstain from voting
I like U2 loads... I went to see them in Cardiff - awesome live band! But their best albums were undoubtedly 80's, and Manics are really a 90's band, but out of the 2 it would be U2 by far for me.
U2 has got a lot of great songs, so I voted for them, but I like the Manics as well. Tsunami, by example, is an awesome song.
