Tricky one as this could change every hour. Excluding Even In Exile and b-sides / bonus tracks (Mirror Gaze and Last Time I Saw Paris would be up there) something like:
1 Peeled Apples 2 International Blue 3 Afterending 4 Autumnsong / Imperial Bodybags. Can’t choose 5 Europa Geht Durch Mich 6 Hold Me Like A Heaven 7 A Billion Balconies 8 The Secret He Had Missed 9 All Is Vanity 10 Don’t Let The Night Divide Us / 30 Year War. Can’t choose Could’ve whacked one or two more from Futurology (SPLAM, WMTTB), RIF (D&C, PGI). Last edited by Lee; 15-09-2022 at 17:20. |

So SATT is included? Oh that is a sucking teeth transcription as I've done mine all wrong. YLAINE changed the game.
Oh since Lifeblood. Stand by it. Last edited by Son of Stopped; 15-09-2022 at 18:46. |

I have tried to do this 3 times, but it's just shown me how disconnected I am from most of these eras.

I think I can only name maybe five songs that I genuinely like from the said era - Peeled Apples, She Bathed Herself in a Bath of Bleach, All Is Vanity, Rewind the Film, and This Sullen Welsh Heart.
Sorry Manics, you've lost it. |

Very tough as about 80% of my favourite Manics stuff is from Lifeblood onwards, so it was a little easier to do without all the Lifeblood era songs! I've avoided YLAINE too as it's too obvious for a few of the answers, it's not even in my top 50 MSP tracks anyway it wouldn't be an accurate reflection of what I like.
1. Distant Colours 2. Send Away The Tigers 3. Rewind The Film 4. This Sullen Welsh Heart 5. Love Letter To The Future 6. Diapause 7. Sequels of Forgotten Wars 8. A Soundtrack To Complete Withdrawal 9. Journal For Plague Lovers 10. International Blue
