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

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.

Ah, that's a b-side! I thought the "no singles" rule applied to the b-sides as well.
In which case

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.
