FabSwingers.com forum: Great Album Tracks or B Sides

How's your music...?

While on Spotify yesterday I got thinking how some of the best songs weren't singles but tucked away on albums or B sides. Any recommendations?

Loveless by Paul Weller would be one of mine....

Backstreets - Springsteen from the Born to Run album.

Superb. Cracking intro and the usual screams from Bruce.

Love it.

Worthing

b side to the Touch Too Much single by AC/DC has a couple of live tracks from their late '79 tour. Live Wire and Shot Down in Flames. Interesting versions on the last single they released before Bon Scotts passing.

Rotherham

Just a few random b-sides that I like...

The Masterplan / Half the World Away / Talk Tonight / Acquiesce / Round Are Way / Stay Young. So many great b-sides from Oasis during their peak.

The Butterfly Collector - The Jam.

Standing Here / Mersey Paradise / Going Down / Guernica / Where Angels Play. Great b-sides by The Stone Roses that would piss over most acts' a-sides or album tracks.

Rain / Baby You're a Rich Man / I Am the Walrus / Revolution/ Don't Let Me Down/ Old Brown Shoe - The Beatles.

Robin Hood - Ocean Colour Scene. A b-side from my late teens which I remember with particular fondness.

Sale of the Century - The Seahorses. Total random one that probably no one remembers but a bit like the OCS track, this one was part of the soundtrack of my youth.

Fool's Gold - Stone Roses

How soon is now? - Smiths

God only knows - Beach Boys

3 off the top of my head that most people probably wouldn't think were b-sides.

Oh, and Half the World Away - Oasis
