Favourite B side

[Trufflehound]

Oh, and since it's getting a lot of mentions on another thread:

These Days - the original B-side of Love Will Tear Us Apart

 

[chip]

Wishing Well, B-side to All Right Now, Free

 

[dougdeep]

Twilight Alehouse. Genesis.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

For me it's

How Soon Is Now: The Smiths

Butterfly Collector: The Jam

Killing An Arab: The Cure

Viva El Presidente!

Apart from anything else, it's a pleasure to get a reminder every so often that you're not the only one on here over the age of 17!

 

[Jam The Man]

Rain - The Beatles *WINNER*

concurred

 

[Braders]

The Masterplan - Oasis

winner.

close second Just a Day -Feeder (Seven Days in the Sun Single)

 

[withdeanwombat]

Has to be B-righton,

B-side the sea.

 

[London Irish]

Girls Talk by Elvis Costello

Or, I've Never Met a Nice South African, Spitting Image

 

[NMH]

Oh Shit by The Buzzcocks
Hold On by Rupert's People

 

[clapham_gull]

Or, I've Never Met a Nice South African, Spitting Image

Bugger that was going to be mine.

I bought the record for that very song.

 

[The Large One]

Turning Blue - The Undertones
I Don't Know Myself - The Who
Wouldn't It Be Nice - The Beach Boys


Or for people who REALLY have class...

Anyone Who Knows What Love Is - Irma Thomas (B-Side to 'Time Is On My Side'). If you don't know it, or if you know it and don't like it, you suck.

 

[Perry's Tracksuit Bottoms]

'Driftwood' by THe Bluetones. Just about sneaking in to the days when B-sides actually mattered.

 

[Grunty]

ICE Machine - by Depeche Mode B side of their first single.
Psyche - by Killing Joke- B side of WARDANCE
Shadow by Psychedelic Furs- B side of DANGER

Psyche - by Killing Joke- B side of WARDANCE
Shadow by Psychedelic Furs- B side of DANGER

I still have my old 7" of Dreaming of Me... I just played it and was struck by how much it sounds identical to New Life, but with different lyrics. But I guess critics would probably say that that sums up most Depeche Mode songs.

I think Psyche is probably my favourite Killing Joke song of all, never mind B-side.

 

[The Auditor]

Do it Clean ..B side of Echo & the Bunnymen single The Puppet
or City of the Dead B side of the Clash single Complete Control

 

[Trufflehound]

Do it Clean ..B side of Echo & the Bunnymen single The Puppet

One of those fine examples where the B-side is far better than the A-side, which was fairly average by Bunnymen standards...

 

[Pavilionaire]

Dreams Of Children - The Jam, B-side to Going Underground.

 

[Trufflehound]

Dreams Of Children - The Jam, B-side to Going Underground.

Technically, that was a double A-side...
