As TGW said, Nostalgic Pushead is sooooo good
ME and YLU obviously beat anything off GATS, but GT has so much crap on too

Both have amazing songs on but overall I'd have to go with GT.

Yup, both drag and could do with tracks being trimmed, but GT has it worse. Mind you, the highlights of GT are higher than those of GATS. Hard one.

'Symphony Of Tourettes' doesn't really have a tune, even if it's an interesting sonic experience form the Manics (i..e b side material) and I think the title track just waffles on and on with having the awesome bits of 'Condemned To Rock And Roll'. I'd probably only keep 'Nostalgic Pushead' cos seven songs doesn't make an album (sorry!).

It really doesn't, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing, it just isn't right where it is. I mean, 'Sculpture Of Man' doesn't work anywhere except as a b side, I don't think it would sound right on THB or GATS, but it is good. SOT likewise is out of place, but it deserves a place in the canon. Kind of like 'Patrick Bateman', it's too different for the period's album, but it made it on there whilst PB didn't.

Oh lord, I've mentioned PB and now that debate will reignite!

It's a close one, but GT wins for Condemned to Rock n Roll as its final track.

I dunno, think there's a tune going on in Symphony Of Tourette somewhere!

I voted for GATS.
My main problem with GT was either Sony or the band sabotaged how great it could have been? When you hear the US version with the shortend tracklisting and actual Sean drumming it's miles better than the version we got? (Although GT still has it's highlights)
At least GATS only has one poor song "Drug Drug Druggy" but even that has "a,b,c,d...E!" at the end of it?
