Which Solo Songs Do You Wish Were Manics Songs?
I.e. so you'd have the chance to hear them again, or so they'd get more of the respect they D-E-S-E-R-V-EEE?
Which ones are strong enough? For me, Still A Long Way To Go, Emigre, Bobby Untitled, Break My Heart Slowly, Stab Yr Heart and You Will Always Be My Home... Any other thoughts?

I like the choices so far. I'd probably add 'Days Slip Away'.

Emigre is better than 99 per cent of the tracks on SATT. It would have lifted that immeasurably.

Still a Long Way To Go. Undoubtably. And An English Gentleman. Am I right in thinking that's about the band anyway...? So if it is, it seem unjust NOT for it to be a Manics track!

Bad Boys And Painkillers is basically a Manics track anyway, Nicky wrote the lyrics and everything. But having said that, there aren't any songs I wish were 'Manics songs' as such. I think the sound of James and Nicky solo is unique, and can't really be compared to the Manics' back catalogue in any way.

All of James' singles and bsides and a few of the album tracks would've made for a fantastic Manics album, much better than SATT.
I love Nicky's album exactly as it is, I think an MSP performed version with James on vocals would have less charm.
