Talk Show Host is the greatest B-Side ever recorded

[Thousand Made-Up Loves]

Pearl Jam's "Leatherman" is #2.

Happy Holidays, Washington.

you're talking to the wrong generation . . . downloads don't have b-sides.

i'm not familiar with a whole lot of B-sides (always been a full album kinda guy), but i have no doubt that TSH is high on the list.  nice pull.

(walkies, do you ever feel like you need some new material?  if you're going to shit all over threads, could you at least make it new shit?  merry xmas!!!)

shouldn't we be in bed dreaming of santa claus?  i'm watching emmit otter's jugband christmas.

Beautiful is probably Belle and Sebastian's #1 B-side. #2 would be I Love My Car.

pulp's is either "Ansaphone" or "Cocaine Socialism."

blur's is either "Swallows in a Heat Wave" or "Theme From an Imaginary Film."

i don't know..

led zep's hey hey what can i do may just be the best TRUE b-side.. i don't think talk show host is even a true b-side...was there even a 45 with it?

fine . . . the obvious answer is strawberry fields forever, since it was the beatles best song, and the fact that it is a b side while being an a side at the same time.

I hate to be a stickler but as it was included on Magical Mystery Tour lp (US version) to me its no b-side.


A true b-side is a song you can only get as a b-side..at least for a decade or two...

This is whats remarkable about Hey hey what can I do... it wasn't available other than as a b-side until the early 90s zep box.... about 20 years only available on that 45..

anyways i'm sure there are other great b-sides

[Brian_Wallace]

There are songs that are a B-side and they are the band's (arguably) most recognizable song.

To wit:

"Dear God" by XTC was initially the B-side of "Grass", also from "Skylarking."

And although it was eventually released as an A-side on its own, "How Soon Is Now?" by The Smiths was originally the B-side of "William, It was Really Nothing."

I'm not into blogging. I just like bbs'ing.

I know the correct definition of a b-side, but I would say, in this day in age, a b-side is a song that doesn't make an official album.

You and Whose Army? is also a killer Radiohead b-side.
