My favourite album is 'Antichrist Superstar', closely followed by 'Mechanical Animals'. 'The Golden Age of Grotesque' is good but a little bit too commercial. I highly recommend his autobiography 'cos it's the funniest, perverted thing I've read in a long time
Marilyn Manson
I only know 3 songs by MM - his covers of Tainted Love and Personal Jesus and also a Jam & Spoon remix of The Nobodies. I want to get into MM's music as I love these songs and if his fave band is Depeche Mode then he must have something good going for him.
What I want to know is this: Is his other music like the 3 songs I know with the electronic stuff going on and what album would you recommend I start off with?
Thanks.

Yeah, those are a pretty good representation of his music, especially the later stuff.
My favourite album is Mechanical Albums. It's also his most electro/glam album so I think you'd probably like it too. All his albums are very good, though I would probably avoid Holy Wood (his weakest album in my opinion, but it still has some great singles on it). If you're not sure where to start you could do a lot worse than picking up his 'best of' album, Lest We Forget.

Thanks you two. I'm just in the process of getting Lest We Forget and Dean tells me he already has mechanical Animals and Antichrist Superstar so I will get him to dig those out.
Will report back when I've had a proper listen to them all.

Well listened to Mechanical Animals, Antichrist Superstar and Lest We Forget so far.
I have to say I'm impressed. I don't love him yet but I don't dislike him at all. I tend to take a while of listening to things before they become favourites.
Tracks I like (besides the ones I mentioned earlier):
mOBSCENE
The Beautiful People
Sweet Dreams (I'd forgotten about this one)
The Fight Song
Mister Superstar
I will keep listening!
