It's Not War was the best thing about PFAYM, so I voted for that.

I picked Futurology because as a starting track, I feel like it perfectly draws a line under RTF and starts a new 'Manics era'. Peeled Apples is a close second.

Some people on the forum argued how Futurology was a bad choice as an opening track and that it would have fit much better at the end of the album. One of the arguments was its lyrics, like "who ever starts an album with 'we'll come back'?".
These arguments are totally valid and Futurology would be nice as a final track as well.

However...

It is right this unconventionality that made me pick this one.

1985. With Peeled Apples a very, very, very close second.

Peeled Apples. They should have kept the Zane Lowe radio intro though.
