'''Shirley Ann Manson''' (born 26 August 1966) is a Scottish singer, songwriter, musician and actress, best known internationally as the lead singer of the [[alternative rock]] band [[Garbage (band)|Garbage]]. For much of her international career Manson commuted between her home city of [[Edinburgh]] and the United States to record with Garbage; she now lives and works in Los Angeles.<ref name="changingface"/> Manson gained media attention for her forthright style, rebellious attitude and distinctive voice.<ref name=darkling>{{cite web|url=http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/the-darkling-manifesto-shirley-mansons-individualist-style-legacy-20120731|title=The Darkling Manifesto: Shirley Manson's Individualist Style Legacy|work=[[Rolling Stone (magazine)|Rolling Stone]] |date=31 July 2012|accessdate=5 January 2015}}</ref><ref name=chronicle>{{cite web|url=http://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/music/2012-10-02/shirley-manson-still-mysterious-and-delicious/|title=Shirley Manson: Still Mysterious and Delicious|work=[[The Austin Chronicle]] |date=2 October 2012|accessdate=5 January 2015}}</ref><ref name="telegraph1">{{cite news| url = http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/live-music-reviews/9259577/Garbage-Troxy-review.html| title = Garbage, Troxy, review| work=The Telegraph| date=11 May 2012| accessdate=24 July 2012| first=Catherine| last=Gee}}</ref><ref name=vagazine>{{cite web |url=http://vagazine.com/2012/05/shirley-manson/3|title=...And God Created Shirley Manson |work=VAGA magazine |accessdate=8 December 2014}}</ref><ref name="SMExhibition"/>
Manson's musical career began in her teens when she was approached to perform backing vocals and keyboards for Scottish band [[Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie]]. Quickly she developed into a prominent member of the group and developed a formidable stage presence. Manson was approached by her band's record label with the idea of launching her as a [[solo artist]], and recorded an album with her band under the [[Angelfish (band)|Angelfish]] name. After seeing Manson in an Angelfish [[music video|video]] broadcast only once on [[MTV]]'s ''[[120 Minutes]]'', Garbage invited Manson to audition and record vocals on a couple of unfinished songs; she eventually co-wrote and co-produced an entire album with the band. The resulting self-titled debut, ''[[Garbage (album)|Garbage]]'', was a critically acclaimed, worldwide hit, and was followed by four studio albums, including the multiple [[Grammy Award]]-nominated ''[[Version 2.0]]'', and a [[Absolute Garbage|greatest hits album]].<ref name="SMExhibition"/> Garbage toured worldwide and sold 12 million records over ten years.<ref name="SMExhibition"/>
In 2006, Manson began to write and record solo material after Garbage was put on "hiatus" and in 2008 was cast in her first professional acting role on the second and final season of ''[[Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'' as series regular [[Catherine Weaver]], a [[Shapeshifting#In popular culture|liquid metal]] [[T-1001]] [[Terminator (character concept)|Terminator]]. Manson returned to the recording studio in 2010 to write and produce material for the group's fifth studio album ''[[Not Your Kind of People]]''.<ref name="album5">{{cite web| url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/singer-manson-introduces-new-husband-to-students-in-paisley-1.1064114 |title=Singer Manson introduces new husband to students in Paisley | work=Glasgow Herald |accessdate =13 February 2011}}</ref>

===Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie===
{{Main|Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie}}
Manson's first musical experiences came from briefly singing with local Edinburgh acts The Wild Indians and performed backing vocals with Autumn 1984.<ref name="RecordCollector"/> While she was acting in her group, Manson was approached by [[Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie]]'s lead Martin Metcalfe to join his band. Manson embarked on a relationship with Metcalfe initially, but remained involved after splitting from him and became a prominent member of the group, performing keyboards, backing vocals and becoming involved in the band's business side.<ref>{{cite book|last=MacLean|first=Craig|title=1998 Will Be Garbage!|date=1 February 1998|accessdate=5 March 2004|work=The Face|location=Madison, Wisconsin|url=http://web.archive.org/web/200012081503/http://www.garbage.net/articles/@theface.htm}}</ref> Manson's first release with the Mackenzies was a [[Youth Training Scheme|YTS]] release of "Death of a Salesman" in 1984.<ref name="RecordCollector"/> The group signed a [[major label]] [[record deal]] with [[Capitol Records]] in 1987, and they released their first album ''[[Good Deeds and Dirty Rags]]'', and their only [[UK Singles Chart|UK Top 40]] hit "The Rattler".

[[Gary Kurfirst]], who managed [[Talking Heads]] and [[Debbie Harry|Deborah Harry]], bought the Mackenzies contract and issued their second album through his own label [[Radioactive Records|Radioactive]], a subsidiary of [[MCA Records|MCA]]. After another single failed to chart, the group were persuaded to leave Radioactive by their management.<ref name="mackenzie"/> The Mackenzies continued to write material; Manson was also given the opportunity to record lead vocals on a number of tracks planned for the band's third album.<ref name="angelfishbirth">{{cite web |url =http://blokshok.co.uk/angelfish/luck_law_hill.htm |title =LUCKLAW HILL (The birth of Angelfish & Goodbye Mr MacKenzie MK2) |publisher = Blokshok Productions |accessdate = 8 March 2009}}</ref> Although MCA had no desire to further their commitments to Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie, the label expressed interest in recording an album with Manson, and after hearing several [[demo (music)|demos]], Kurfirst signed Manson to Radioactive as a solo artist, with the remaining Mackenzies performing as her backing band to circumvent the band's existing deal with MCA.<ref name="SMExhibition"/><ref name="mackenzie"/> Manson's contract obligated her to deliver at least one album and, at the sole option of Radioactive, up to six additional albums.<ref name="Radioactive"/>

Recording under the name [[Angelfish (band)|Angelfish]], and using some of the newly written material and a previously released Mackenzie [[b-side]], Manson and the group recorded the tracks that would make up the ''[[Angelfish (album)|Angelfish]]'' album in [[Connecticut]] with [[Talking Heads]]' [[Chris Frantz]] and [[Tina Weymouth]].<ref name="SMExhibition"/><ref name="mackenzie"/> A lead in track "[[Suffocate Me]]" was sent to [[college radio]] where it was well received.<ref name=RecordCollector>{{Cite book | publisher = [[Record Collector]] | title = "Garbage" | date = 1997-02-01 }}</ref> ''Angelfish'' and second single "[[Heartbreak To Hate]]" followed in 1994.<ref name="RecordCollector"/> Angelfish toured the United States, Canada, France, Belgium, and co-supported [[Live (band)|Live]] on a tour of North America, along with [[Vic Chestnutt]]. The music video for "Suffocate Me" was aired on [[MTV]]'s ''[[120 Minutes]]''.

After an unsuccessful audition, she returned to Angelfish.<ref name="behindthemusic"/> At the end of the Live tour, Angelfish imploded and Manson returned to Smart for a second try. She began to work on the then-skeletal origins of some songs and the band invited her to become a full-time member of the band and finish the album; she co-wrote and co-produced the entire album with the rest of the band.<ref name="Radioactive">153 F.Supp.2d 462 RADIOACTIVE, J.V., Plaintiff, v.

Manson quickly became the public face of the band over the course of a tour that took the band through to the end of 1996. [[Echo & the Bunnymen]] had asked Manson to sing on their 1997 [[Evergreen (Echo & the Bunnymen album)|comeback album]].<ref name=Face>{{cite journal|last=MacLean|first=Craig|title=The New Album|date=1 February 1998|magazine=[[The Face (magazine)|The Face]]|url=http://web.archive.org/web/200012081503/http://www.garbage.net/articles/@theface.htm}}</ref>
Manson became the band's chief song-writer for the follow-up record ''[[Version 2.0]]'' which equalled the success of the band's debut record after its May 1998 release. During the two-year tour in support of the record, Manson modeled for [[Calvin Klein]]. Manson lived in hotels throughout the recording periods of the debut and Version 2.0.<ref name=Face/> The group recorded the [[The World Is Not Enough (song)|theme song]] to the [[James Bond]] movie ''[[The World Is Not Enough]],'' and Manson became the third Scotswoman to sing a Bond theme after [[Lulu (singer)|Lulu]] and [[Sheena Easton]]. In the accompanying video, she portrays an [[android (robot)|android]] assassin. For the recording of Garbage's third record throughout 2000, Manson became one of the first high-profile artists to write a blog online, while she decided to improve her guitar playing for the band's next tour.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1123595/garbages-shirley-manson-hints-at-heavier-new-album/|title=Garbage’s Shirley Manson Hints At 'Heavier' New Album|publisher=MTV|date=30 August 2000|accessdate=15 January 2015}}</ref> Their third album, ''[[Beautiful Garbage]]'', featured Manson's most forward and personal lyrics to date. The album did not sell as well as its predecessors, but Garbage performed [[Beautiful Garbage Tour|a successful world tour]] in support of it. During a concert at the [[Roskilde Festival]], Manson's voice gave out. She afterwards discovered a [[vocal fold cyst]], and had to undergo corrective surgery.<ref>Ganz, Karin.

Manson's lyrics became more overtly political for Garbage's fourth record, 2005's ''[[Bleed Like Me]],'' which after the surprise success of lead-in single "[[Why Do You Love Me]]", posted some of the band's highest chart positions upon release. Garbage began an extended hiatus in October 2005. During this period, in 2007, Garbage reformed to perform a short set at a benefit show to raise cash to pay for [[Wally Ingram]]'s medical treatment,<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.moderndrummer.com/updatefull/200001671/Wally%20Ingram | publisher=[[Modern Drummer]] | title=Wally Ingram / Back...

In 2009, Manson announced she was stepping away from music, claiming she got sick of the music industry's new practices and had found more excitement in acting.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chron.com/entertainment/article/Garbage-singer-dumps-music-for-acting-1743670.php |title=Garbage singer dumps music for acting |work=Houston Chronicle |publisher=Chron.com |date=10 March 2009 |accessdate=13 August 2012}}</ref> Manson said she thought about abandoning the music business as soon as 2008, when her mother got ill with dementia and later died, saying that "I didn't want to make music, didn't feel creative. I could barely function." Later that year she reconsidered her words and went back into performing after being asked by friends to sing [[David Bowie]]'s "[[Life on Mars?]]" at their son's memorial. According to Manson, "we were all in so much pain, but it meant so much to them that I could sing that song and so much to me that I was able to do something. It made me realise how much music sustains people. I don't know why I'd turned my back on it."<ref>{{cite news | last=Dickinson | first=Jenny | url=http://absolutegarbage.net/articles/super-vixen/ | title=Super Vixen | work=[[ELLE magazine]] | location=UK | date=April 2010}}</ref>

Reviewing a live [[Garbage (band)|Garbage]] performance Jon Parales of ''[[The New York Times]]'' commented, "Temptress, lover, sufferer, scrapper – those have been Ms. Manson's personae since Garbage started in 1995. In other eras she might have been a pop [[torch singer]], a soul belter or a new-wave frontwoman: a [[Shirley Bassey]], a [[Dusty Springfield]], or a [[Chrissie Hynde]]. There's a little of each of them in her voice" also stating "In the course of each song she let her voice rise in anger, contempt or passion".<ref>{{cite news| url = http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/24/arts/music/shirley-manson-leads-garbage-at-webster-hall.html?_r=0| title = Exposing Multiple Personae, All Defiant| work=[[The New York Times]]| date=23 May 2012| accessdate=3 April 2013| first=Jon| last=Parales}}</ref> Jen Crothers of [[Green Left Weekly]], in a review of ''[[Garbage (album)|Garbage]]'', remarked that "Manson, vocalist and guitarist, has a powerful voice, which soars and dips like a bird.

===Influences and impact===
Manson's earliest musical memories were of her mother, who sang with a big band when Manson was a child. Manson was exposed to classic jazz records as she grew up and work by [[Nina Simone]], [[Cher]], [[Peggy Lee]] and [[Ella Fitzgerald]].<ref name="Rebeljukebox"/> Early in Manson's teenage years, she became a fan of [[Siouxsie and the Banshees]] albums ''[[The Scream (album)|The Scream]]'' and ''[[Kaleidoscope (Siouxsie & the Banshees album)|Kaleidoscope]]'', and taught herself how to sing listening to those albums, later stating "many of the songs of those two albums were massive loves of my life".<ref>Shirley Manson, foreword of 'Siouxsie & The Banshees The Authorised Biography', Mark Paytress, Sanctuary 2003, page 8</ref> Vocalist [[Siouxsie Sioux]] embodied how Manson aspired to be as a teen.<ref name="Rebeljukebox">{{cite web |url=http://www.garbage.net/garbage/articles/@new8.htm|title=Rebellious Jukebox|publisher=''[[Melody Maker]]'', by Dave Simpson (reproduced on Garbage.net)|accessdate=9 September 2008}}</ref> Manson would later write the [[foreword]] to ''Siouxsie & The Banshees: The Authorised Biography''.<ref>Paytress, Mark.

The first time Manson contributed her vocals to a project separately from any of her bands was in 1998, when she performed vocals for the chorus of a Garbage-produced [[remix]] of [[Fun Lovin' Criminals]] 1999 single "[[Korean Bodega]]".<ref name="flckbremix"/> Due to [[litigation]] problems surrounding Manson's contractual obligation to Radioactive Records, further collaborations with both Fun Lovin' Criminals<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.garbage.com/news/journal.php?uid=38|title=11.10.00 STUDIO DIARY #26|publisher=Garbage.com|accessdate=16 April 2009}}</ref> and [[Moby]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.garbage.com/news/journal.php?uid=28|title=08.04.00 STUDIO DIARY #16|publisher=Garbage.com|accessdate=16 April 2009}}</ref> were unable to proceed.

Manson has also given two tracks to [[Sky Ferreira]]; the 2012 single "[[Red Lips]]" and "I'm on Top" in 2013.
===Sampling===
In 2002, electronic group West London Deep [[sample (music)|sampled]] Manson's vocal from "[[You Look So Fine]]" in their [[white label]] track "You're Taking Me Over". Manson refused [[Authorization|clearance]] for the sample and the track was scrapped.

==Personal life==
In 2008, Manson became engaged to record producer and Garbage sound engineer [[Billy Bush (record producer)|Billy Bush]].<ref>{{cite web|author=|url=http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/topstories/Shirley-Manson-grieving-as-her.4742158.jp |title=Shirley Manson grieving as her mum dies |publisher=Edinburghnews.scotsman.com |date=28 November 2008 |accessdate=2 January 2012}}</ref> They were married at a Los Angeles court house in May 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/manson-weds-in-secret-courthouse-ceremony_1144373 |title=Shirley Manson – Manson Weds in Secret Courthouse Ceremony – Contactmusic News |publisher=Contactmusic.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/singer-manson-introduces-new-husband-to-students-in-paisley-1.1064114 |title=Singer Manson introduces new husband to students in Paisley |work=Herald Scotland}}</ref>
Manson is an atheist but has long been interested in spirituality. She recalls, "when I was very small, I was very besotted with the church, absolutely, I loved the theatre of it and I got very involved in all the stories we were taught." Her father was also her Sunday school teacher. When she was about 12, she had an argument with her father at the dinner table, screaming at him that "religion's a sham, ... and I'm not going to church any more, it's just bullshit". She stopped going to church, but continued to have theological debates with her father every Sunday. She became disenchanted with organised religion and although she maintained an interest in spirituality she complained that she "brushed up against too many examples of 'hypocritical' spiritualists."<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.garbage.net/garbage/articles/@rolling98.htm | title = Spirit in the Sky (From Rolling Stone, September 1998) | author = Elissa Blake | work = garbage.net | accessdate = 6 June 2011 }}</ref>
On aging and the pressures of women resorting to plastic surgery, Manson has said that she doesn't feel frightened, stating that she feels "very opposed to plastic surgery and cheating myself in that regard too."<ref name=changing/> "I've never tried surgery or Botox and I'd like to be able to stay unobsessed by that kind of stuff", adding that "it's hard for any woman, particularly in a city where there's even a remote sense of body and beauty consciousness, and this town definitely has that."<ref name="shirleydailymailtsccarticle"/>
Manson has commented on the subject of children, stating that she <blockquote>just missed that whole baby calling. I feel a lot of women think you're a freak if you feel like that, and maybe I am strange, but I never got that feeling. In some ways I wish I had had that urge, because I adore children... I feel I can live quite happily with my decision.<ref name="shirleydailymailtsccarticle"/></blockquote>
Manson identifies as a [[feminist]] and has been hailed as a feminist icon.<ref>{{cite web|title=Shirley Manson's feminist manifesto|url=http://www.ubahnmusicnews.com/2012/10/shirley-mansons-feminist-manifesto.html|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=16 June 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Woman on top|url=http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/woman-on-top-20120524-1z61l.html|work=The Sydney Morning Herald|accessdate=16 June 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Shirley Manson Halts Concert, Kicks Dude Out For Hitting A Woman During Show|url=http://www.thefrisky.com/2012-05-30/shirley-manson-halts-concert-kicks-dude-out-for-hitting-a-woman-during-show/|publisher=The Frisky|accessdate=16 June 2013}}</ref>

'''Shirley Ann Manson''' (born 26 August 1966) is a Scottish singer, songwriter, musician and actress, best known internationally as the lead singer of the [[alternative rock]] band [[Garbage (band)|Garbage]]. For much of her international career Manson commuted between her home city of [[Edinburgh]] and the United States to record with Garbage; she now lives and works in Los Angeles.<ref name="changingface"/> Manson gained media attention for her forthright style, rebellious attitude and distinctive voice.<ref name=darkling>{{cite web|url=http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/the-darkling-manifesto-shirley-mansons-individualist-style-legacy-20120731|title=The Darkling Manifesto: Shirley Manson's Individualist Style Legacy|work=[[Rolling Stone (magazine)|Rolling Stone]] |date=31 July 2012|accessdate=5 January 2015}}</ref><ref name=chronicle>{{cite web|url=http://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/music/2012-10-02/shirley-manson-still-mysterious-and-delicious/|title=Shirley Manson: Still Mysterious and Delicious|work=[[The Austin Chronicle]] |date=2 October 2012|accessdate=5 January 2015}}</ref><ref name="telegraph1">{{cite news| url = http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/live-music-reviews/9259577/Garbage-Troxy-review.html| title = Garbage, Troxy, review| work=The Telegraph| date=11 May 2012| accessdate=24 July 2012| first=Catherine| last=Gee}}</ref><ref name=vagazine>{{cite web |url=http://vagazine.com/2012/05/shirley-manson/3|title=...And God Created Shirley Manson |work=VAGA magazine |accessdate=8 December 2014}}</ref><ref name="SMExhibition"/>
Manson's musical career began in her teens when she was approached to perform backing vocals and keyboards for Scottish band [[Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie]]. Quickly she developed into a prominent member of the group and developed a formidable stage presence. Manson was approached by her band's record label with the idea of launching her as a [[solo artist]], and recorded an album with her band under the [[Angelfish (band)|Angelfish]] name. After seeing Manson in an Angelfish [[music video|video]] broadcast only once on [[MTV]]'s ''[[120 Minutes]]'', Garbage invited Manson to audition and record vocals on a couple of unfinished songs; she eventually co-wrote and co-produced an entire album with the band. The resulting self-titled debut, ''[[Garbage (album)|Garbage]]'', was a critically acclaimed, worldwide hit, and was followed by four studio albums, including the multiple [[Grammy Award]]-nominated ''[[Version 2.0]]'', and a [[Absolute Garbage|greatest hits album]].<ref name="SMExhibition"/> Garbage toured worldwide and sold 12 million records over ten years.<ref name="SMExhibition"/>
In 2006, Manson began to write and record solo material after Garbage was put on "hiatus" and in 2008 was cast in her first professional acting role on the second and final season of ''[[Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'' as series regular [[Catherine Weaver]], a [[Shapeshifting#In popular culture|liquid metal]] [[T-1001]] [[Terminator (character concept)|Terminator]]. Manson returned to the recording studio in 2010 to write and produce material for the group's fifth studio album ''[[Not Your Kind of People]]''.<ref name="album5">{{cite web| url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/singer-manson-introduces-new-husband-to-students-in-paisley-1.1064114 |title=Singer Manson introduces new husband to students in Paisley | work=Glasgow Herald |accessdate =13 February 2011}}</ref>

===Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie===
{{Main|Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie}}
Manson's first musical experiences came from briefly singing with local Edinburgh acts The Wild Indians and performed backing vocals with Autumn 1984.<ref name="RecordCollector"/> While she was acting in her group, Manson was approached by [[Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie]]'s lead Martin Metcalfe to join his band. Manson embarked on a relationship with Metcalfe initially, but remained involved after splitting from him and became a prominent member of the group, performing keyboards, backing vocals and becoming involved in the band's business side.<ref>{{cite book|last=MacLean|first=Craig|title=1998 Will Be Garbage!|date=1 February 1998|accessdate=5 March 2004|work=The Face|location=Madison, Wisconsin|url=http://web.archive.org/web/200012081503/http://www.garbage.net/articles/@theface.htm}}</ref> Manson's first release with the Mackenzies was a [[Youth Training Scheme|YTS]] release of "Death of a Salesman" in 1984.<ref name="RecordCollector"/> The group signed a [[major label]] [[record deal]] with [[Capitol Records]] in 1987, and they released their first album ''[[Good Deeds and Dirty Rags]]'', and their only [[UK Singles Chart|UK Top 40]] hit "The Rattler". In 1990, the group's contract was transferred to [[Parlophone]], another [[EMI]] label, but after two singles failed to chart Parlophone declined to release the group's second album ''[[Hammer and Tongs]]''.<ref name="mackenzie">{{cite web |url =http://blokshok.co.uk/gmm/blok_music_Macs.htm |title =Goodbye Mr Mackenzie – Biog |publisher = Blokshok Productions |accessdate = 8 March 2009}}</ref>
[[Gary Kurfirst]], who managed [[Talking Heads]] and [[Debbie Harry|Deborah Harry]], bought the Mackenzies contract and issued their second album through his own label [[Radioactive Records|Radioactive]], a subsidiary of [[MCA Records|MCA]]. After another single failed to chart, the group were persuaded to leave Radioactive by their management.<ref name="mackenzie"/> The Mackenzies continued to write material; Manson was also given the opportunity to record lead vocals on a number of tracks planned for the band's third album.<ref name="angelfishbirth">{{cite web |url =http://blokshok.co.uk/angelfish/luck_law_hill.htm |title =LUCKLAW HILL (The birth of Angelfish & Goodbye Mr MacKenzie MK2) |publisher = Blokshok Productions |accessdate = 8 March 2009}}</ref> Although MCA had no desire to further their commitments to Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie, the label expressed interest in recording an album with Manson, and after hearing several [[demo (music)|demos]], Kurfirst signed Manson to Radioactive as a solo artist, with the remaining Mackenzies performing as her backing band to circumvent the band's existing deal with MCA.<ref name="SMExhibition"/><ref name="mackenzie"/> Manson's contract obligated her to deliver at least one album and, at the sole option of Radioactive, up to six additional albums.<ref name="Radioactive"/>
===Angelfish ===
{{see also|Angelfish (band)}}
Recording under the name [[Angelfish (band)|Angelfish]], and using some of the newly written material and a previously released Mackenzie [[b-side]], Manson and the group recorded the tracks that would make up the ''[[Angelfish (album)|Angelfish]]'' album in [[Connecticut]] with [[Talking Heads]]' [[Chris Frantz]] and [[Tina Weymouth]].<ref name="SMExhibition"/><ref name="mackenzie"/> A lead in track "[[Suffocate Me]]" was sent to [[college radio]] where it was well received.<ref name=RecordCollector>{{Cite book | publisher = [[Record Collector]] | title = "Garbage" | date = 1997-02-01 }}</ref> ''Angelfish'' and second single "[[Heartbreak To Hate]]" followed in 1994.<ref name="RecordCollector"/> Angelfish toured the United States, Canada, France, Belgium, and co-supported [[Live (band)|Live]] on a tour of North America, along with [[Vic Chestnutt]]. The music video for "Suffocate Me" was aired on [[MTV]]'s ''[[120 Minutes]]''. Producer and musician [[Steve Marker]] caught the broadcast and thought Manson would be a great singer for his band, Garbage, which also featured producers [[Duke Erikson]] and [[Butch Vig]].<ref name="behindthemusic">{{cite episode | series = Behind The Music | serieslink = Behind The Music | title = Garbage: Behind The Music | airdate= 31 March 2002 }}</ref>

After an unsuccessful audition, she returned to Angelfish.<ref name="behindthemusic"/> At the end of the Live tour, Angelfish imploded and Manson returned to Smart for a second try. She began to work on the then-skeletal origins of some songs and the band invited her to become a full-time member of the band and finish the album; she co-wrote and co-produced the entire album with the rest of the band.<ref name="Radioactive">153 F.Supp.2d 462 RADIOACTIVE, J.V., Plaintiff, v.

Manson quickly became the public face of the band over the course of a tour that took the band through to the end of 1996. [[Echo & the Bunnymen]] had asked Manson to sing on their 1997 [[Evergreen (Echo & the Bunnymen album)|comeback album]].<ref name=Face>{{cite journal|last=MacLean|first=Craig|title=The New Album|date=1 February 1998|magazine=[[The Face (magazine)|The Face]]|url=http://web.archive.org/web/200012081503/http://www.garbage.net/articles/@theface.htm}}</ref>
Manson became the band's chief song-writer for the follow-up record ''[[Version 2.0]]'' which equalled the success of the band's debut record after its May 1998 release. During the two-year tour in support of the record, Manson modeled for [[Calvin Klein]]. Manson lived in hotels throughout the recording periods of the debut and Version 2.0.<ref name=Face/> The group recorded the [[The World Is Not Enough (song)|theme song]] to the [[James Bond]] movie ''[[The World Is Not Enough]],'' and Manson became the third Scotswoman to sing a Bond theme after [[Lulu (singer)|Lulu]] and [[Sheena Easton]]. In the accompanying video, she portrays an [[android (robot)|android]] assassin. For the recording of Garbage's third record throughout 2000, Manson became one of the first high-profile artists to write a blog online, while she decided to improve her guitar playing for the band's next tour.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1123595/garbages-shirley-manson-hints-at-heavier-new-album/|title=Garbage’s Shirley Manson Hints At 'Heavier' New Album|publisher=MTV|date=30 August 2000|accessdate=15 January 2015}}</ref> Their third album, ''[[Beautiful Garbage]]'', featured Manson's most forward and personal lyrics to date. The album did not sell as well as its predecessors, but Garbage performed [[Beautiful Garbage Tour|a successful world tour]] in support of it. During a concert at the [[Roskilde Festival]], Manson's voice gave out. She afterwards discovered a [[vocal fold cyst]], and had to undergo corrective surgery.<ref>Ganz, Karin.

Manson's lyrics became more overtly political for Garbage's fourth record, 2005's ''[[Bleed Like Me]],'' which after the surprise success of lead-in single "[[Why Do You Love Me]]", posted some of the band's highest chart positions upon release. Garbage began an extended hiatus in October 2005. During this period, in 2007, Garbage reformed to perform a short set at a benefit show to raise cash to pay for [[Wally Ingram]]'s medical treatment,<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.moderndrummer.com/updatefull/200001671/Wally%20Ingram | publisher=[[Modern Drummer]] | title=Wally Ingram / Back...

I could barely function." Later that year she reconsidered her words and went back into performing after being asked by friends to sing [[David Bowie]]'s "[[Life on Mars?]]" at their son's memorial. According to Manson, "we were all in so much pain, but it meant so much to them that I could sing that song and so much to me that I was able to do something.

Reviewing a live [[Garbage (band)|Garbage]] performance Jon Parales of ''[[The New York Times]]'' commented, "Temptress, lover, sufferer, scrapper – those have been Ms. Manson's personae since Garbage started in 1995. In other eras she might have been a pop [[torch singer]], a soul belter or a new-wave frontwoman: a [[Shirley Bassey]], a [[Dusty Springfield]], or a [[Chrissie Hynde]]. There's a little of each of them in her voice" also stating "In the course of each song she let her voice rise in anger, contempt or passion".<ref>{{cite news| url = http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/24/arts/music/shirley-manson-leads-garbage-at-webster-hall.html?_r=0| title = Exposing Multiple Personae, All Defiant| work=[[The New York Times]]| date=23 May 2012| accessdate=3 April 2013| first=Jon| last=Parales}}</ref> Jen Crothers of [[Green Left Weekly]], in a review of ''[[Garbage (album)|Garbage]]'', remarked that "Manson, vocalist and guitarist, has a powerful voice, which soars and dips like a bird.

===Influences and impact===
Manson's earliest musical memories were of her mother, who sang with a big band when Manson was a child. Manson was exposed to classic jazz records as she grew up and work by [[Nina Simone]], [[Cher]], [[Peggy Lee]] and [[Ella Fitzgerald]].<ref name="Rebeljukebox"/> Early in Manson's teenage years, she became a fan of [[Siouxsie and the Banshees]] albums ''[[The Scream (album)|The Scream]]'' and ''[[Kaleidoscope (Siouxsie & the Banshees album)|Kaleidoscope]]'', and taught herself how to sing listening to those albums, later stating "many of the songs of those two albums were massive loves of my life".<ref>Shirley Manson, foreword of 'Siouxsie & The Banshees The Authorised Biography', Mark Paytress, Sanctuary 2003, page 8</ref> Vocalist [[Siouxsie Sioux]] embodied how Manson aspired to be as a teen.<ref name="Rebeljukebox">{{cite web |url=http://www.garbage.net/garbage/articles/@new8.htm|title=Rebellious Jukebox|publisher=''[[Melody Maker]]'', by Dave Simpson (reproduced on Garbage.net)|accessdate=9 September 2008}}</ref> Manson would later write the [[foreword]] to ''Siouxsie & The Banshees: The Authorised Biography''.<ref>Paytress, Mark.

===Sampling===
In 2002, electronic group West London Deep [[sample (music)|sampled]] Manson's vocal from "[[You Look So Fine]]" in their [[white label]] track "You're Taking Me Over". Manson refused [[Authorization|clearance]] for the sample and the track was scrapped.

==Personal life==
In 2008, Manson became engaged to record producer and Garbage sound engineer [[Billy Bush (record producer)|Billy Bush]].<ref>{{cite web|author=|url=http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/topstories/Shirley-Manson-grieving-as-her.4742158.jp |title=Shirley Manson grieving as her mum dies |publisher=Edinburghnews.scotsman.com |date=28 November 2008 |accessdate=2 January 2012}}</ref> They were married at a Los Angeles court house in May 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/manson-weds-in-secret-courthouse-ceremony_1144373 |title=Shirley Manson – Manson Weds in Secret Courthouse Ceremony – Contactmusic News |publisher=Contactmusic.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/singer-manson-introduces-new-husband-to-students-in-paisley-1.1064114 |title=Singer Manson introduces new husband to students in Paisley |work=Herald Scotland}}</ref>
Manson is an atheist but has long been interested in spirituality. She recalls, "when I was very small, I was very besotted with the church, absolutely, I loved the theatre of it and I got very involved in all the stories we were taught." Her father was also her Sunday school teacher. When she was about 12, she had an argument with her father at the dinner table, screaming at him that "religion's a sham, ... and I'm not going to church any more, it's just bullshit". She stopped going to church, but continued to have theological debates with her father every Sunday. She became disenchanted with organised religion and although she maintained an interest in spirituality she complained that she "brushed up against too many examples of 'hypocritical' spiritualists."<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.garbage.net/garbage/articles/@rolling98.htm | title = Spirit in the Sky (From Rolling Stone, September 1998) | author = Elissa Blake | work = garbage.net | accessdate = 6 June 2011 }}</ref>
On aging and the pressures of women resorting to plastic surgery, Manson has said that she doesn't feel frightened, stating that she feels "very opposed to plastic surgery and cheating myself in that regard too."<ref name=changing/> "I've never tried surgery or Botox and I'd like to be able to stay unobsessed by that kind of stuff", adding that "it's hard for any woman, particularly in a city where there's even a remote sense of body and beauty consciousness, and this town definitely has that."<ref name="shirleydailymailtsccarticle"/>
Manson has commented on the subject of children, stating that she <blockquote>just missed that whole baby calling. I feel a lot of women think you're a freak if you feel like that, and maybe I am strange, but I never got that feeling. In some ways I wish I had had that urge, because I adore children... I feel I can live quite happily with my decision.<ref name="shirleydailymailtsccarticle"/></blockquote>
Manson identifies as a [[feminist]] and has been hailed as a feminist icon.<ref>{{cite web|title=Shirley Manson's feminist manifesto|url=http://www.ubahnmusicnews.com/2012/10/shirley-mansons-feminist-manifesto.html|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=16 June 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Woman on top|url=http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/woman-on-top-20120524-1z61l.html|work=The Sydney Morning Herald|accessdate=16 June 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Shirley Manson Halts Concert, Kicks Dude Out For Hitting A Woman During Show|url=http://www.thefrisky.com/2012-05-30/shirley-manson-halts-concert-kicks-dude-out-for-hitting-a-woman-during-show/|publisher=The Frisky|accessdate=16 June 2013}}</ref>
