Favorite Manics non-album track?

Pick one.

Anything from a B-side, unreleased, a cover, whatever, just no album tracks, including Lipstick Traces.
See if you can post it's youtube link - most of them are there.

For me, tough choice, but this song's buried itself into my brain but good! Something about it's melody and James' voice really gets to me.

It's different every day, probably, but when this one comes up on the playlist, I usually press 'repeat' and let it play a few times.

Spectators of Suicide, Heavenly version.

Agree 100%. Love this song so much. The GT version? One of the worst things they've ever done. As Nicky said, sounds like "the Lion Sleeps Tonight". May it rot in hell.

"Are Mothers Saints".
For all the claims of Richey and Nicky studying musical trends, I'm surprised they didn't hold this song back and release as a one off to tie in with Mother's Day.

Comfort Comes for me. Not just because of the badass bass, Jimbo's amazing vocal, or one of his best solos, but because it's such an important track in the sonic lineage of the Manics' discography.

Suicide Alley for me, I think. Lipstick Traces tracks being disallowed helped to narrow it down a lot.

Despite my username, I'd go for R P McMurphy or Prologue To History.

Since I have to choose one, I'll flip a coin and say R P McMurphy.

That said, it varies day by day, week by week and month by month.
