I don't think my hated MSP songs have been mentioned yet:

So Why So Sad
Australia

I've never taken to those songs at all. I am also one who is not keen on the "Lifeblood" album, so I can live without the songs of that as well.

Australia grew off me too, mostly because of its place in gigs, though.

As you might surmise from my screenname, it's my favorite!

As to my least favorite, I honestly don't think I could name just one, but the top 2 candidates would be:

Tsunami

Yeah, My Guernica's ace. The music's brilliant and messy and noisy and the lyrics are pretty great too.

It so fun musically, I think it's a better 'rawk' song than Found That Soul.

Kevin Carter and Australia both give me the shits. So obvious lyrically.

Not that I could do better of course.

Most of Lifeblood probably, I only listened to it once.

?

Just a thought...I think that giving, at least, a second chance to an album, allow people ( especially me ) to not avoid some good moments or tracks...
and we are talking about the manics !!! sorry for my english...I think I can be clearer in french

I've had to have a strong think about it but I have 6 songs which I really detest now.

1: So Why So Sad ( Manics trying to do the Beach Boys? Utter gash!)

2: Kevin Carter ( Soulless album track that should never have been a single)

3: His Last Painting (James sounds at his most laziest on the vocal and the melody is rubbish)

4: Blackholes For The Young ( Surely it would have sounded better if they had bothered to choose an actual singer to compliment James?)

5: Valley Boy ( Unforgettable and regrettable)

6: Born A Girl ( I just can't find anything redeeming in this song, it's a complete durge and stops TIMTTMY dead in it's tracks. Very much like "To See A Friend In Tears" kills "The Great Western".

I wouldn't say I have a least favourite, but the most disappointing song would have to be Fragments. the tune's good and the lyrics are too - but the way they've done makes it sound a bit nothingy. and as it's tucked towards the end of Lifeblood, it's easy to forget
