Think it's a very underrated one, that. I overlooked it for ages but it's grown on me loads since I first heard it.

10. Democracy Coma - one of the finest moments of the GT era.
9. Dead Passive - Because it is too fucking cool. Especially the chorus.
8. Close My Eyes - this sounds like it'd fit right in KYE. i really like it.
7. Dead Trees and Traffic Islands - all three ADFL bsides are great, but this and dead passive are top.
6. Hibernation - beautiful bside - one of the softest moments in early Manics history. love it.
5. Donkeys - same as Hibernation. beautiful words as well.
4. Locust Valley/Pedestal - both these share this spot. i really love listening to both, they could have easily been on KYE instead of a couple of other tunes.
3. Masking Tape - happy black days... here's the summer. NUFF SAID/
2. Groundhog Days - brilliant little tune. love the wire in this.





1. Foggy Eyes - i know it's a cover but still. their best b-side to date. Love it.

Prologue to History or Quarrantine (sp), the latter being totally wasted on the DVD single. yes, i know, it's pretty much My Sweet Lord with different words, but it's ace that tune is.

Comfort Comes is probably still my top one but I'd be here all day if I tried to type up a list as there are so many fantastic ones!

Their best by far is Montana/Autumn/78, but much credit is due to Prologue To History, Forever Delayed, Morning Comrade, Valley Boy, Donkeys, Black Holes For The Young, I'm Leaving You For Solitude, Bored Out Of My Mind, Automatik Teknikolor and No Jubilees, all of which should have been on their respective albums.
