Listen to Manic Street Preachers' Nicky Wire and Sean Moore talking about their classic single Motorcycle Emptiness - one of the 10 songs that mean most to the band.

Although this was the fifth single from the Manic Street Preachers' debut album Generation Terrorists, it is the one that most remember. "A six minute song about alienation and despair," Nicy Wire calls it.

They promised to sell 10 million records and split up, but it wasn't to be; but Motorcycle Emptiness drove them to perfectly acceptable commercial levels as it hit number 17 in the UK charts and generated a "taste of Beatlemania" in Japan.
