Songs that should have been singles are actually few and far between despite popular Manics folklore

1985
Forever Delayed
No Surface
Send away the tigers

Remember the crying about intravenous agnostic...

I think proevpete's point was that on a discussion forum if we were never allowed to repeat a discussion there wouldn't be an awful lot to say.

A while ago I'm sure someone posted some fantastic artwork for songs from EMG and TIMTTMY, had they been singles.

For a 'realistic' choice I think Imperial Bodybags, and possibly Send Away The Tigers. From previous albums I don't know. Maybe Further Away?

True, and I understand your point. In times of new single, album etc there are more threads about album-games than about the new album.

Back to topic:
1985
Solitude Sometimes Is
(No Nixon - even though I love the Song)
Send Away The Tigers
(No Indian Summer)
Intravenous Agnostic maybe instead of Let Robeson Sing?
