Really difficult to choose. The entire Holy Bible album is amazing and it doesn't feel fair to pick one or two tracks as favourites from that. Otherwise there's:
Motorcycle Emptiness
Motown Junk
Ocean Spray
Small Black Flowers...
Ready For Drowning
You Love Us (original version)
Agree about The Holy Bible, it's a fantastic album that is rarely mentioned in any polls. My favourites are
La Tristesse Durera
She's Not Suffering
To Repel Ghosts
Prologue To History
Judge Yourself
A design for life (although This life 10+ nearly ruined that, funny it popped up on my random play this evening and all I can think about is that scene!)
Motor Cycle emptiness
Mo'town Junk
Motorcycle Emptiness
She Is Suffering
If You Tolerate This, Then Your Children Could Be Next
Your Love Alone (the version with Nina Persson)
Marlon JD (because the intro sounds like The Cure's 100 Years)
Off the top of my head (I spent far too many years following these guys...): Motown Junk
We Her Majesty's Prisoners
Condemned to Rock n Roll
Patrick Bateman
R P McMurphy
Donkeys
Are Mothers Saints
Sepia
Found That Soul Ocean Spray
First western band to play a concert there, I believe. Which they released on DVD...

Ocean Spray is also my own favourite. I love the bit where they blow their own trumpet about 2/3 of the way through. This even surpassed If You Tolerate This...
I flitter between Manics eras all the time, going through periods of really hating the more commercial stuff (e.g. Tsunami) and then later embracing it! Though some tracks transcend all that for me, those being...
Yes (The Holy Bible)
Faster (THB)
4st7lb (THB)
Elvis Impersonator...(Everything Must Go)
A Design For Life (EMG)
Kevin Carter (EMG)
Small Black Flowers...(EMG)
The Girl Who Wanted To Be God (EMG) - that one is a current favourite
Kevin Carter (EMG)
Natwest...(Generation Terrorists) - if only for the middle bit alone!
Motorcycle Emptiness (GT)
Little Baby Nothing (GT)
The Everlasting (This Is My Truth...)
1985 (Lifeblood)
Send Away The Tigers (SATT)
Your Love Alone...(SATT)
There are way too many others to list, including b-sides. The new record, Rewind The Film, has really grabbed me. I absolutely love This Sullen Welsh Heart, Rewind The Film, Builder of Routines, Tokyo Skyline, 3 Ways To See Despair and 30-Year-War.

Yeah, faster for me too. Fabulous song.
