Mansun, Legacy, TOTP, 1998

[mycurse751]

ME GUSTA! :)

[Leetav]

Mansun were definitely the best for chord progressions and harmonies; something that I rarely remember from Oasis n Blur etc. etc. The band should have been as big, but unfortunately music that has a bit of soul switches too many people off :(

[EnglanEOfficial]

One of my favourite songs, by one of my favourite bands! Recently re-visited their genius... And my love for Paul Draper! <3

[CONSIDERABLYMORE1]

oh, and by the way this is a heart wrenchingly and timely ode to Ms Whinehouse R.I.P

[CONSIDERABLYMORE1]

every f**king video you go to for this lot has 10s of 1000s of watchers. What the f**k is Draper playing at? Re-form and claim your rightfull place at the top table son!

[skacrazy76]

There are no bands around to compare to Mansun.... inventive, witty, sexy, tunes that never pandered to the mainstream whilst still sounding great blasting out of the radio and being successful. And i never met anyone who thought they were just "alright", people either loved or hated them, mark of a great band in my eyes!

[TheWandrow]

complete rip of the intro to Alive by oasis

[MrLee192Gversion]

@TheWandrow Hahah i hadnt heard that Oasis track before, i see what you mean! Good job it wasnt one of Oasis more memorable tracks

[AfternoonLemon]

Absolutely underrated band, I don't understand why they weren't so much more successful.

[tomhwoods]

How dare you! Shed 7 never made any distinctive songs that worked as singles to compare as the Mansun era like. Just listen to Mansun's three LP releases: Attack Of Tthe Grey Lanten; Six and ; and the third album....Pick any singles and check them out ...

[vaughanie23]

Mansun the "Brian Clough" of popular music....................legen­ds that never were :(

[nuspeipah]

one of the best bands actually, too bad they drowned in the britpop hype at the end of the 90's.

unique sound and a lot of great tunes. six is one of my all time fav albums

[dark1ankh]

This band should have been big. Not fecking Coldplay !

[zKa0sz]

shit

[Annetjie]

just the way the crowd has been promted to cheer is so ironic given the lyrics and the meaning of the song

[mystro810]

This is a really good song. The only reason I ever heard it is because I watched this guy playing a guitar pedal demo and he happened to play a few bars of this tune. It sounded brilliant so I had to look it up. Pity nobody knows this song in the states. Music is in a coma over here. Rock needs another kick in the ass like Kurt Cobain gave it in the early 90's

[postieding]

top of the top indie bands

[Prizak1]

Great song from a truly great band. The best indie band Britain has ever produced IMHO. I've always loved Mansun and always will. Stove's current address&cell number anyone?:)

[psike5000]

@Prizak1 well, what about joy division and the smiths?

[vaduzcrew]

Brilliant tune! where are they now???

[dopiaza2006]

Real shame it's just miming - they are fucking awesome live!

[Muskateering]

Ah the 90s, the last great decade of mainstream rock.

[stumm23]

brill band,need to reform,everyone cares now your gone

[stumm23]

pure class and under rated band

[trappedinlife29]

GREAT.

[oistarski]

i wouldnt care if i was washed up tomorrow

[demetriorex]

One of my favorite songs of all time!!!

[vaduzcrew]

paul really has a character in his voice!

[8bitFaction]

brill , just brill. Amazing words too

[Camelsarse]

Just chatting with someone that loves Mansun as much as i do! God i miss the 90's xxxxxxxxx love to everyone

[ggorgo]

what a brilliant band...

i miss them sooooooooo much

life is wearing me thin..

[gerdoro]

Amazing

[safefromharm82]

Brilliant Band...Miss the old Indie bands...Pure Genius.

[chris1308x]

amazin song

[amfrepalex]

great.. pitty they broke up!

[pandalt]

It's my favorite song

[NohStar]

love this song so much

[southarmaghdave]

it would be been more impressive if it was live, end of the day its not impressive to mime

[drongovids]

you had to mime on totp unfortunately

[Nigelcf]

Greatly underrated band. Radioheads equals.

[K33f4]

Radiohead described Attack of the Grey Lantern as a real musical achievement - that's a lot, coming from Radiohead. Since that album, Mansun produced many more brilliant tracks. Some of their b-sides are fantastic.

[Nigelcf]

Yes its nice to see great bands acknowledge other great bands who don't get the recognition they deserve. I would love to see a Mansun reformation too :-)

[Nieghorn]

@K33f4 Totally agree, and I'd say MANY of their b-sides are fantastic. There's at least two solid albums worth of material that never appeared as such ... during their time, that is.

[kerron32]

Mansun all the way class act. Had the honour of seeing the band live and will never forget it

[Verdoux007]

People give that comment thumbs down because it's so pretentious. Throwing that phrase around doesn't make you any deeper or smarter.

[gintonic666]

That is so true. I think Mansun was the BEST fucking band in the world. Ever.

[su79nioj]

Nobody cares when you´re gone.

[medinner]

bye then!

[playerbru]

beautiful song!

[whatshegonnalooklike]

this song is so stunning, as are most mansun songs. i think it was unfashionable to like them. i was in the mailing club and they sent me lots of cool stuff. happy times :) so underrated, no band today matches the elegance of this songwriting

[iforwardhamish]

so was i!

they sent a really cool cd with all thier labelmates a food once i believe it was called ' a flvour of the label"

mansun are still on of my favourite bands. this song is possibly the best....

[themanlego]

Totally underrated mate. never got the respect they deserved. Not as good as Radohead though. And I believe thats why the press hated them.

[Deliaboard]

nobody cares when you´re gone.

[N8219]

really amazing-

one of the most greatest song of the last 10'-

mansun rulez-

[epiphonesupernova]

What a fkin great band!! This song is one of their best, I love it.

[Cototto]

it's funny to see one of the best live performing band playing on play back!

but, you know, when in rome...

Did you notice one thing? Mansun songs have often more than one thing to be picked separately and sung on its own. I do sing the guitar lines often. Or the background vocals! Great masterpieces ^_^

[Severener]

Oh man, that top note! This song still sounds so fresh and different from everything else in the scene.

[dazzarobs]

the british music scene,is poorer for the loss of such a quality band..Chad is the best guitarist since johnny marr...Mansun are sadly missed..

[testcardgirl26]

love this song! XD

[Cototto]

Who is able to make a song like this, with this fantastic almost endless super melodic pre-chorus part today?

NO BANDS.

So, thanks Mansun. It's great to listen to you.

[mateyboy07]

Yeah the bridge into the chorus is mind blowing. Modern bands don't have the musical talent to create something like that anymore.
