Top 10 Non-Album Tracks: 2010 (PFAYM) - 2021 (TUVL)

What are your ranked top 10 non-album tracks (b-sides, bonus tracks, demos etc) of the "modern" Manics era from PFAYM onwards?

No live versions of album tracks allowed, for "don't be so obvious" reasons.

It's self-serving. I want you lot to sift through 10 years of material for the gems rather than do it myself

I figure if it's old enough to have had a commemorative rerelease, yes it is

Extra shoutout to the Warm Digits remix of Hold Me Like a Heaven which, as the kids say, slaps.

Actually, I hardly bothered with their b-sides once they stopped releasing CD single.

I'm sure you'll forgive me if i read this as a bit of low level trolling after a multi-year absence and given your opinion about their new album.
It's what sometimes happens with former active members, they come back to either hawk their manics stuff on ebay or engage in a bit of tomfoolery!

It certainly was a joke, no malice intended. I started this thread to gather some picks for what are reckoned to be great non-album tracks in the period I missed.

I guess i'm feeling a little belligerent today. Apologies.

Like SATT, I think they were relegating a lot of the more interesting material to the b-sides because it didn't fit the album ethos, but if they had flipped things around and pursued the direction of the b-sides for the main album, I think a lot of people's opinions on those two albums would be much warmer (and I like PFAYM).

I generally feel a bit extra warm towards the Postcards b-sides because they were the first CD singles the band released after I had moved to the UK, and I was giddy at the thought of finally being able to buy their singles with ease. Bought all the bundles and spent a lot of time with those b-sides.

Preach. Such a good album hiding in there.

I attempted this but couldn't limit it to 10. Sorry not sorry.
Also in no particular order:

Broken up again
Kiss my eyes for eternity
I'm leaving you for solitude
I know the numbers
Empty motorcade
T.e. lawrence on a bike
Concrete fields
What happened to the blue generation
Time ain't nothing
Blistered mirrors
Holding patterns
Red rubber
