Smile Your top 10 Manics B-sides?

One of the things I love most about the Manics is the consistently great quality of their B-sides. Now I know this is not an easy task when you actually get down to it, but here is my top 10 (for today at least!):

1 - Are Mother's Saints
2 - Love Torn Us Under
3 - Prologue To History
4 - Judge Yr'self (Not strictly a B-side but I'm having it anyway!)
5 - Hibernation
6 - Patrick Bateman
7 - Valley Boy
8 - Donkeys
9 - Fearless Punk Ballad
10 - Bored Out Of My Mind

Wet with love, it wasn't there
I was dreaming, you always are

I see the coins that were your eyes
My eyes shining like sapphires
I can't think, and I can't paint, I can't love!
And no one will, for money makes us up

Death to monetaries!
