Your Favourite B-Sides

~~James~~ · 06-28-2010, 06:25 AM

What are your personal favourite B-Sides? B-Sides are very underrated I find very often eclipsing the A-Side, but still not getting the same exposure.
Some of my favourites:
Kate Bush-Kite
The Beatles-Rain(Pretty much all of their B-Sides tbh)
The Clash-1977
The Clash-The Prisoner
Suede-The Living Dead(Pretty much all of their B-Sides tbh)
Bowie-Queen Bitch
The Who-A Legal Matter
Blur-La Comedie
Dead Kennedys-Police Truck
I've missed loads but nvm.

Ever since I ripped my collection onto the computer, I've kinda lost track of which ones are B-sides and which aren't. Five off the top of my head though;

The Beatles - The Inner Light
Blur - I Know
The Coral - Dressed Like a Cow
David Bowie - Shadow Man
Elvis Costello - Baby's Got a Brand New Hairdo

Personally i feel Oasis had a lot of good B-sides. Alot of them were better than tracks that made the albums.

^ You forgot about Idler's Dream and Take Me Away

Otherwise, good choice sir.

Do you realise that's frightening, considering the Klaus Nomi avatar?

And The Smiths - Wonderful Woman, off the top of my head.
