Inspired by Kay. Here's my top 5:

* Cab It Up (Kurious Oranj)
* No Bulbs (Wonderful and Frightening World of The Fall)
* New Face In Hell (Slanted and Enchanted)
* 50 Year Old Man (Imperial Wax Solvent)
* Spoilt Victorian Child (This Nations Saving Grace)

I am partial to the mid-80's Brix years.

Just a few-ahh! Add ons! Add ons!

"Lucifer Over Lancashire"
"Smile"
"I Feel Voxish"
"2X4"
"The Classical"
"Kicker Conspiracy"
"What You Need"
"Eat Y'Self Fitter"
"Gut of the Quantifier"
"Lay of the Land"

...

"50 Year Old Man" would strike me as funnier if I were still in my 20s or 30s.

"Smile" and "repetition" for me too. And:

"Rebellious Jukebox"
"The Classical" (best Fall song ever?)
"No Xmas For John Keys" (best MES vocal ever, esp. BBC version)
"Telephone Thing" (unlikely, but successful Mad-chester groover)

UPDATE: I thought I remembered a thread like this one already:

Some good'uns here. I'd add "Slang King", "Disney's Dream Debased", and "Cruisers Creek". I agree with nosepail that the mid-80s period (particularly Perverted by Language, Wonderful and Frightening World, and This Nation's Saving Grace is the best era.

Your Future, Our Clutter (2010) keeps getting better and better with time. Listen to how incredibly hard Slippy Floor rocks. What a devastating bass line!
