Seconded on Prologue. I'd probably have never become a proper Manics fan if it wasn't for that song, actually - prior to hearing it, I knew only of Tolerate, and had pretty much decided that James has a nice voice, but one that isn't really suitable to anything rocky. And then Prologue started, and I was like, "Ooh".

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.
This is pretty close to my list of favourite b-sides although I'd bin Locust Valley, Foggy Eyes and Groundhog Days. I loathe the latter with a passion. Terrible solo ruins it. A rare duff moment from JDB.

I'd add:
Comfort Comes
Sepia
Everything Will Be
Askew Road
Patrick Bateman
RP McMurphy (Live)

Think I'll have to add Broken Up Again, too.

It's a bit of a shame really, I think there's Gold Against The Soul, Lifeblood, Send Away The Tigers and Postcards From A Young Man where half the b-sides are stronger than half the album. Shame there are so many great songs we can rule out ever seeing live or hearing on the radio.

Think it's had a few nods in this thread RM. I've always thought it was a great song.
