By this I mean when he's just vocalising and not singing an actual lyric.
(ie - the bit from To Repel Ghosts for example).

The outro of Tolerate. One of my favourite Manics song bits ever.

Yeah, has to be Tolerate, but To Repel Ghosts is excellent too.

I spent all last night trying to think of various songs and my brain couldn't take it. That's why I've just put the main songs that I thought of at the time.

Though you're not objective about horses, Tracey, of course you like it.

Where's the option for My Guernica?

The "Hello?" bit is clearly the best, in which he's probably greeting the pizza delivery man.

I love love LOVE it during the video of Ready For Drowning of JDB with John Cale (I think) where he absolutely nails the scream before the end - although that is totally the wrong description as it is far too angelic for that.
