[IWasBored]

hmmmmmmm


good question.

the beatles - rain
u2 - always
screeching weasel - punkhouse, kamala's too nice (or at least it's my understand that they're b-sides. i could be wrong. in that case, strike them from my list. but somehow i doubt anyone in here is going to know the difference)

i'm sure i'll think of some others.

Elbow - Vum Garda, Kisses
Coldplay - One I Love
Interpol - Specialist, Song 7

etc

is Springsteen's The Promise a b-side?
if so, I love that song

Im not a big fan of U2 B-sides

all the radiohead b-sides I've heard are great

 

[impy13]

Coldplay - One I Love

B-sides eh?

Well I love Lady With The Spinning Head and Salome.

but others:

Radiohead - A Reminder
Coldplay - Crests Of Waves, I Bloom Blaum, Animals, and a hell of a lot more other than those
Bright Eyes - Neely O'Hara (sort of a b-side since it's on an EP not a lot of people know about I guess)

 

[typhoon]

• The Beatles--"She's A Woman," "Rain," "The Inner Light," "Old Brown Shoe"
• Oasis--too many to even know where to start
• Pearl Jam--"Long Road," "Dead Man," "Leatherman," "Undone"
• Radiohead--"A Reminder," "Cuttooth," "Fog"
• Elliott Smith--"A Living Will," "Our Thing," a bunch others
• U2--"The Three Sunrises," "Lady With the Spinning Head," a bunch others

(Edit: Oh, and I don't know if it's a B-side or just an outtake, but No Doubt has a song called "Everything In Time," and it's the only song of theirs I like.)
