fair enough! i quite like the punkiness of Nirvana's Been A Son, and feel it got too stripped away by the manics.

Actually... Black Dog was my immediate choice, but I've just remembered the dirge of 'Bored Out Of My Mind' which, to be blunt... bores me out of my mind.

It probably says something about the Manics that so many of their songs seem to have the potential to be any given fan's most hated or most favourite song.

Probably. No idea what.

Further Away - I don't know why I just can't stand it; I feel it ruins a gem of an album

I'm Just a Patsy - Again I just hate it, and skip both these songs every time

There's probably a bunch more, but those are the two that jump up and bite me on the ass

However, I do know that there’s nothing off THB or JFPL I don't like, I even like Nicky's version of Bath of Bleach

Sorry I think we're all just gonna have to agree to disagree. They're just that kinda band.

I mean I like Miss Europa and The Everlasting, and I know those are not the most popular tunes among the masses

In retrospect I would remove all of the TIMTTMY songs from my previous list which would now look something like this:

1. I think I found it
2. Drug Drug Druggy
3. The Descent
4. Yourself
5. My Guernica
6. Hazleton Avenue
7. His Last Painting
8. All We Make is Entertainment
9. Nostalgic Pushead
10. Always/Never

Nothing controversial there I suspect.

Symphony of Tourette (painful listening) or Between the Clock and the Bed (stilton).

Yep, clock and the bed is a contender. Divine youth would be the no 1, closely followed by 4 lonely roads. Until 2013 would have been so why so sad or this is yesterday.

Would have to give that some thought...The Love of Richard Nixon is easily my least favorite single by them though.
