Filter’s Top 10 of 2005: Shirley Manson of Garbage

The fiery bombshell of the 90’s surviving mega-rock band Garbage, Shirley Manson, has had a big year this year. With the release of the band’s first album in 4 years Bleed Like Me, the 3/4 Wisconian 1/4 Scot band have made quite the comeback.

As a cap off to the year full of extensive touring (with UK retro-ska band Dead 60’s and just about every summer festival you can think of) and making grown men weak in the knees, Shirley let Filter know what were her musical highlights of the year.
