I wouldnt get rid of any! You can't change history, and the Manics have the best history ever! So erasing anything is just wrong.

It was a question James was asked a while ago in an interview, just wondered what the fans would have chosen.

So I'll pick those two, plus Royal Correspondant (as the most offensively bad track on KYE).
Oooh, I like your way of thinking.

I'll extend it to taking the one track off of Lifeblood that I really cannot be bothered with - I think KYE needs more than one track taken off it to make it worth it really

1. Repeat (S&S)
2. Damn Dog
3. Emily

I have to say, some of these choices are making me go
Fragments? Imperial Bodybags? Interiors? Crucifix Kiss? Condemned? Love's Sweet Exile? Revol? I know the Manics have slagged some of these off themselves in the past, but they're all great songs really.

STAY BEAUTIFUL?!?!?!?!?!

DOUBLE EWE, TEA EFF?!?!?!?!?

I may be drunk now, but at least I can tell you are all idiots
I really don't see any reason as to remove any of the studio album stuff from memory whatsoever. These on the otherhand...:

So Why So Sad (Avalanches Remix)
Tsunami (Stereolab Remix)
Let Robeson Sing (Ian Brown Remix)

So many better remixes than those three...

In your opinion, yes. Not in everyone's, obviously. Kind of the whole point of this thread

Do you hate a lot of stuff of GT, or just that one? Cos really, the only reason I can imagine anyone hating it is if they hate most of the album anyway!!!

It's.... Stay Beautiful!!!!

There are others too, but I'll choose the ones which do the most damage to the albums they're on:

1. Wattsville Blues - it's weak weak weak, and even worse it sits beside MEDD which is also weak but sound-wise the other extreme, destroying the flow of KYE completely (if there was any)
2. Symphony Of Tourette - Obviously GATS was released too early, there was not enough quality material. Towards the end it gets just too obvious, and SOT is the peak. Why not simply choose some neutral-sounding filler instead of this stand-out crap?
3. Always Never - Not that I would have liked Lifeblood without this, but it could have been a much better album without it. I can accept filler, and I can accept tracks that sound different than the rest of the album if they're really good. But I cannot accept something that sounds completely different and is crap.
