What is your favourite pre-GT song?

Obviously Motown Junk is an absolute gem, only just discovered New Art Riot as well...

Motown Junk and Spectators of Suicide closely after. I wonder if anyone would choose one of those obscure demos...

Most of the pre GT stuff is better than the songs on the album. Motown Junk is probably my favourite though, perfect single.

I do love Suicide Alley and Starlover and Sorrow 16 but it'll have to be Motown Junk really.

Motown Junk, as mentioned above, is the perfect single. But I DO like Strip it Down. It's lyrics are clumsy, the riff is simple and it has a lot of naivety and anger about it. Everything that is good about pre-GT Manics.
