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).

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.

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
