Non-singles "best of"
Not sure if this has been done before, but it's something i've been mulling in my head for the past few days. What would your Manics "best of" look like if you weren't allowed to pick singles?
Here's mine. Written chronologically with some b-sides at the end. Sleepflower 4st 7lb Archives Of Pain No Surface All Feeling Ready For Drowning Born A Girl His Last Painting The Convalescent Freedom Of Speech… 1985 Peeled Apples Me & Stephen Hawking Golden Platitudes This Sullen Welsh Heart As Holy As The Soil… Europa Geht Durch Mich A Prologue To History Sepia Red Rubber |

Tennessee
Sleepflower Archives of Pain Elvis Impersonator: Blackpool Pier Enola/Alone Interiors (Song for Willem de Kooning) Be Natural Black Dog On My Shoulder Baby Elian Intravenous Agnostic Methadone Pretty Send Away the Tigers Peeled Apples This Is Yesterday 1985 To Repel Ghosts Golden Platitudes This Sullen Welsh Heart Black Square The Convalescent Give me another chance at doing it and I could easily come up with 20 entirely different songs as good as these. These are the first that come to mind though. |

Condemned To Rock And Roll
Sleepflower Archives Of Pain No Surface All Feeling Nobody Loved You Intravenous Agnostic A Song For Departure Rendition Journal For Plague Lovers Golden Platitudes 30 Year War Sex, Power Love & Money Wasn't sure how many I could pick, but I'd buy this sometime in the future when the band are gone and I somehow make it to a nursing home! |

Ah, that's a b-side! I thought the "no singles" rule applied to the b-sides as well.
In which case Engage With Your Shadow x20 Get on it Sony Music!! |

I am liking the love for Golden Platitudes in this thread.

Theer will be another 'best of' eventually and it would be nice if it was a triple CD that had some of the album tracks and b sides among the hits.
