Best B-Side/Non-Album Track?

[Jarvio]

Singles not included.

My vote goes to "Disappearing Act". I have recently downloaded all of U2's non-album tracks (excluding covers), and this song was the clear highlight for me. How did this not make TUF album? And yet MLK did??

Honourable mention to "Rise Up".

I agree with the above post, Treasure is out of this world good.

TuF and TjT had loads of great b-sides, could have made a truly great U2 album out of them. Highlights would be Luminous Times, Love comes Tumbling, bass Trap, Spanish eyes, deep In The Heart.

Salome and Lady With The Spinning Head were highlights from the 90s, but after that there weren't many classics.

My two favourites though came out of the re-issues, Oh Berlin and Disappearing Act, theyre now 2 of my all time top U2 tracks.

Big fan of Invisible these days...

Sweetest Thing has a lot of great stuff going on too.

Invisible is good, but, can we leave singles out of this? Because they would obviously get all the votes. This is more to do with forgotten tracks/b-sides etc.

He's asking about your opinion on U2 songs.

 

[Hewson]

This is the correct answer.

Lady with the Spinning Head is a kickass B-Side.
I'm also going to take the liberty of counting SOI Bonus Tracks as B-Sides so I can throw a bone to Lucifer's Hands & Crystal Ballroom.

EDIT: Also North and South of the River.

Duh

 

[Catman]

I gotta say, I really, really, really love Heaven and Hell from the AB anniversary release *drool*

 

[Doc_Holiday]

No Line on The Horizon 2... If that doesn't count, then Oh Berlin

 

[ozeeko]

Deep. In. The. Heart.

 

[BANZAI]

Love Comes Tumbling

 

[Fly-2000]

It depends on how I'm feeling, much like a lot of U2's work. At any given time it's one of the following:

Your Blue Room
Crystal Ballroom
I'm Not Your Baby
Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad
Salome
Spanish Eyes
Stateless

 

[Oregoropa]

Deep. In. The. Heart.

Deep in the Heart and Salome are my favorite bsides

Robert Plant stated that Salome is possibly his favorite U2 song

Disappearing Act's vocals and melody were only added in the last few years, when the TUF reissue was released. It was only an instrumental in 1984.
