*cough* *points at sig*

NLOTH2.

And Electrical Storm(band mix), Lady With the Spinning Head(extended dance remix), The Three sunrises, Bass trap. Summer rain's nice too.

What's Heaven and Hell? Haven't heard of that one..

Night and Day wasn't a B-side. It was released on a proper album called Red Hot N Blue.
I think Everlasting love was a bside to AIWIY but I'm not sure.

YouTube - U2 - Heaven And Hell

maybe its a cover..who nows gotto run...gotto run some errands..

What's Heaven and Hell? Haven't heard of that one.

It's one of the Achtung Baby outtakes (as found on the Salomé bootleg).

I think Everlasting love was a bside to AIWIY but I'm not sure.

Yes, it was. But in the Netherlands that song (Everlasting Love) also became an A-side when the DJ's started playing it a lot on the radio. In the end, the single recharted, but this time as Everlasting Love and it charted higher than AIWIY had originally done!

BTW, if we're really technical, then Disappearing Act and Levitate aren't B-sides either, since they never appeared on any single.

Some of my favourite B-sides have already been mentioned (Lady With The Spinning Head (Extended Dance Mix)), but there are still many more great songs that appeared as B-sides:

Salomé
Where Did It All Go Wrong
Slow Dancing (both the Bono & The Edge version as well as the full band version with Willie Nelson)
Two Shots Of Happy, One Shot Of Sad
Satellite Of Love
Luminous Times

 

[Salome]

Luminous Times
or any other JT b-side really

Wow. I had never heard this before... I'm digging it a LOT! Thanks for linking!

 

[AndrewCowley]

All of the UF and JT b-sides and not much else.

Someone mentioned Fortunate Son. Yuk. A terrible cover version.

I love Levitate! And fell in love with Summer Rain this summer. I got the Medium Rare and Remastered CD the very first day of summer and that song was the theme song of my summer. I can't wait till summer vacation so I can listen to it again. I like Lady With the Spinning Head also. Is Alex Decends/Korova 1 a b-side? If it is then that is among one of my favs. Disappearing Act is catchy too.

 

[indigo tree]

Luminous Times
or any other JT b-side really

The JT b-sides rule.

 

[chocky]

My top 5:
1. Luminous Times
2. Walk to the Water
3. Spanish Eyes
4. Lady with the Spinning Head (remix)
5. Dancing Barefoot

 

[beegee]

Walk to the Water

 

[gweeps]

Walk to the Water

This is great!

Deep in the Heart, too.

 

[secretly alone]

Spanish Eyes is probably my favorite. Then Walk to the Water, Boomerang II, and The Three Sunrises. I love all the TUF, JT, and RAH B-sides

 

[djerdap]

Lady With the Spinning Head, Holy Joe, Silver and Gold, North and South of the River (especially the live versions of the latter two)

They're technically not b-sides, but She's Gonna Blow Your House Down and Heaven and Hell from the Salome outtakes are amazing.

 

[65980]

My three favorites would be...

"Bass Trap"

"Walk To The Water"

"Flower Child"

Those are some of the best tracks I've ever heard, never mind just of the B-sides!

 

[VintagePunk]

My favourite cover/B-side has always been Everlasting Love.

 

[alanah]

Spanish Eyes, Everlasting Love and ARATHH are probably some of my faves b-sides.

 

[No spoken words]

Luminous Times
Everlasting Love
Walk to the Water
The Three Sunrises

I mean, I love many others but these stand out for me.

 

[SpaceBoy]

=

I'm Not Your Baby (Skyplitter Dub)
Things to Make and Do
Bottoms (Watashitachi No Ookina Yume) (Zoo Station Remix)
Endless Deep
Alex Descends Into Hell for a Bottle of Milk/ Korova 1
Slow Dancing (full band version with Willie Nelson)

 

[LemonMelon]

Oh, forgot the greatest/most inexplicable b-side of all time: Love Comes Tumbling. It's better than half the album.

I forgot this one, too.

 

[Popmartijn]

Is Alex Decends/Korova 1 a b-side? If it is then that is among one of my favs.

Yes it is. It was on The Fly single.

 

[schnumi]

Holy Joe ofcourse, why on earth isn't that one mentioned more. Both versions (guilty and garage mix) rock.

 

[TM]

Treasure (whatever happened to Pete the Chop)
NLOTH2
Bass trap (esp. the long version)

 

[U2girl]

JT B-sides
