8 Best Manic Street Preachers Tracks In Anticipation Of Rewind The Film

6. Faster

MSP - Faster €˜Faster€™ was released on a double A-side with €˜P.C.P.€™ as the lead single from €˜The Holy Bible.€™ The track itself is fronted with the quote; €œI hate purity. Hate goodness. I don€™t want virtue to exist anywhere. I want everyone corrupt€ taken from the film version of €˜1984€™ starring John Hurt. While the album was not a huge commercial success the single helped the band gain national attention thanks to a Top Of The Pops performance that resulted in a record number of complaints (over 25,000). The band performed in military regalia and singer James Dean Bradfield wore a balaclava causing a public outcry because the band seemed to be showing support for the IRA.

I have one golden rule: There is no such thing as a guilty pleasure. Any song or film that makes you feel good doesn't need justifying.
