Super Furry Animals Olympia, Dublin ★★★★☆

With respect to Manic Street Preachers or even Badfinger, Super Furry Animals are the finest band the proud nation of Wales has yet produced. Their 1996 debut Fuzzy Logic may have coincided with Britpop, but it and the superb run of records that followed brimmed with eclectic pop imagination far beyond anything from the other side of Offa’s Dyke.
