Manics driving playlist

I'm driving around Dorset and Cornwall in the summer and I'd like to do a manics playlist to listen to in the car. My friend, who's doing most of the driving, doesn't know much about the manics but I don't want to play their whole discography to her. Any suggestions?

Anything will do. I have a few Manics compilation CDs I made myself for my car, all different stuff, from singles, album tracks, few live numbers, b-sides to stuff like Ghosts of Christmas

Masking Tape, You Love Us, Motorcycle Emptiness, Australia, Jackie Collins, Prologue To History, We Are All Bourrgeois Now, Last Exit On Yesterday would be some of my picks, especially as it's going to be a summer playlist..

Am I the only person who misread this at a first quick glance as 'Manics driving test'?
That I'd like to see.

If you're going to put in There By The Grace of God I've always played To Repel Ghosts and Forever Delayed around it. They go together seemlessly. The eltroronic-rock period of their career. Haha.

Forever Delayed is definitely a "driving song"!

If they're not a massive fan you shouldn't go for anything too harsh, and it's best to avoid too many awkward changes in tone/tempo. So:

The Intense Humming of Evil
Mausoleum
I'm Not Working
Charles Windsor
SYMM
Suicide Alley
My Little Empire
Spectators of Suicide (both versions)
Of Walking Abortion
Marlon JD
Sculpture Of Man
4 st 7 lb
The Intense Humming of Evil


Fuck 'em.
