Go Buzz Baby Go.

First proper early Manics song I ever heard when they played it on the radio right before airing So Why So Sad in 2001.

Teenage 20/20 and Last Exit on Yesterday are pop punk gems. Some of the demos are brilliant too, so etherial yet energetic, especially Faceless Sense of Void. I wish they had done more with them though, as they would have been a great prelude to the balls out pop punk material on Motown Junk and New Art Riot EP. I think they have a very indie pop / C86 vibe to them, particularly Behave Yourself Baby which sounds like Cystal Crescent by Primal Scream. It would have effectively given them another era to look back on if they had fleshed out and recorded those tunes.

Heavenly version of You Love Us.

Or Suicide Alley, they sound so sweet on it, like they're playing at punk. (oh wait...)

hell yeah. Mainly for the lines:

"Baby love, you're not the only thing I'm drinking for"

and...

"all we want from you is the skin you live within"

Otherwise it's a toss up between Suicide Alley and Motown Junk for me. Oh and the end of You Love Us (Heavenly Version)

Difficult to choose just one. My faves are:

Motown Junk
You Love Us (Heavenly version) - love the Iggy Pop ending on this.
Suicide Alley - for the youthful enthusiasm and naivety.

I've not listened to my "Turning Rebellion Into Money" CD for ages, really must dig that out and give it a listen again.
