Listen to Manic Street Preachers' Nicky Wire and Sean Moore talking about their single Masses Against The Classes - one of the 10 songs that mean most to the band.
Masses Against The Classes was Manic Street Preachers' second Number One single, coming in January 2000, the first chart-topper of the new millennium.
The Manics' top 10
It didn't feature on any studio album, was deleted on the day of release and didn't have a video, but coming after the success of their two preceding albums and the Manic Millennium New Years' Eve gig at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, it crashed into the top of the charts.
The band thought about splitting up and going out on a high at the time, and Nicky Wire calls it "the end of an era".
