Title: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Megaguns on March 18, 2006, 08:21:17 PM There are some absolute killer b sides out there, Many that deserved to be on the final cut of the album. Anyone care to shed some light on some of the better ones?

On topic. Monster Magnet - I'm Five Years Ahead of My Time, killer track one of my personal faves, well worth downloading, why it never made any of their albums, maybe 'cos they thought it was to ahead of it's time for people to get it ;) :P Skid Row - Forever - One of the best songs ever by this band, definately top 5 and it has hit single potential, why it never surfaced 'til their greatest hits album, nearly 10 years afte being recorded i have no idea. Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Butch Français on March 18, 2006, 10:00:37 PM RHCP - Sikamikanico
recorded during the Blood Sugar Sex Magik sessions, released on the Wayne's World soundtrack. awesome song! Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Jim on March 18, 2006, 10:09:39 PM Wakey wakey son.

Agreed. Forever is one of SR's best. Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Backslash on March 19, 2006, 01:21:39 AM I believe that Revolution and I Am the Walrus were released as B sides of singles of the Beatles, but they were released on albums. One of the best tracks I've ever heard that never made it to an official album of any band is Shadow of Your Love by Guns N' Roses.
Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: 2NaFish on March 19, 2006, 01:47:24 AM ice, ice baby by vanilla ice. Originally the b-side to some even worse single, ice ice baby was only played by mistake at three am on some local radio station by the next evening it was worldwide baby.

Originally the b-side to some even worse single, ice ice baby was only played by mistake at three am on some local radio station by the next evening it was worldwide baby. Well I didn't know that! Very funny :hihi: I think two great b-sides are "Acquiese" by Oasis or the Vines cover of "Ms Jackson" Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Kujo on March 19, 2006, 03:04:33 AM Well it was eventually released on "Lost Dogs" but "Footsteps" by Pearl Jam was always one of my favorite songs that only the diehards knew.
Oasis always puts out great b-sides also. Masterplan, Talk Tonight, Rocking Chair. I also seem to recall Tears For Fears releasing some great extended singles during the Songs From The Big Chair Era. Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: D on March 19, 2006, 03:22:08 AM Erotic City by Prince. It's one of his most famous songs. It was a b side that didn't make the Purple Rain album.
Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Walk on March 19, 2006, 04:48:13 AM Iron Maiden- Burning Ambition.
Manowar- I Believe. Hmm, that's all I can think of. Most bands I know are too kvlt to release singles, so there aren't many b sides. ;) Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: grendood on March 19, 2006, 05:29:00 AM Oasis win this hands down.
Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: ryan_of_lax on March 19, 2006, 08:14:57 AM Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter
There's no competition Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Lithium on March 19, 2006, 10:11:33 AM I can recommend the B-side album Incesticide by Nirvana, which the best song is Sliver.
Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Izzy on March 19, 2006, 11:27:55 AM Def Leppard and Oasis regularily put out b-sides which surpass the single their bundled with
Check Retro Activ and The Masterplan, both bands, eventually, released these b sides on albums... Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: D on March 19, 2006, 05:33:28 PM Bon jovi "Edge Of A Broken Heart" wouldve easily been a top 10 hit if it had made Slippery When Wet and is one of Bon Jovi's biggest regrets.
Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Neemo on March 19, 2006, 07:52:14 PM Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter There's no competition yep : ok: what about 99 ways to die by megadeth and dueces are wild by aerosmith? both soundtrack songs but never appeared on albums : ok: Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Bono on March 19, 2006, 07:56:53 PM Mercy - U2 Not technically a B-side. It's never been released on any format. It's basically a leaked demo
The Masterplan - Oasis Not just the song but the whole album. Yellow Ledbetter - Pearl Jam is classic. they ended their show in Calgary with it. Fucking awesome! Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: SOLGER on March 19, 2006, 08:03:05 PM Mercy - U2? Not technically a B-side. It's never been released on any format. It's basically a? leaked demo A leaked turd..... :hihi: Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: BurningHills on March 19, 2006, 08:29:18 PM The Wildhearts have more b-sides than album tracks, and they're all excellent!
The Black Crowes have some amazing ones as well: "Feathers" which was only on a promo CD for the 1995 HORDE Festival is an amazing song. Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Kujo on March 19, 2006, 09:51:36 PM what about 99 ways to die by megadeth and dueces are wild by aerosmith? both soundtrack songs but never appeared on albums : ok: 99 Ways To Die was on a beavis and butthead CD Deuces Are Wild was on their Big Ones CD Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Jizzo on March 20, 2006, 04:13:49 AM unbreakable by bon jovi - Have a nice day sessions
Grief Hammer - The Darkness - One way ticket sessions Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Mr. Dick Purple on March 20, 2006, 11:38:06 AM Def Leppard - Retroactive (fantastic album my personal fave : ok: )
Helloween - A game we shouldn't play (great song) :yes: Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Izzy on March 20, 2006, 12:11:12 PM Megadeth - New World Order (remix)
Their best song - eventually did make it on to an album as a bonus track, many years later, cant think of a better riff..... Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Thorned Rose on March 20, 2006, 01:45:17 PM Skid Row - Forever - One of the best songs ever by this band, definately top 5 and it has hit single potential, why it never surfaced 'til their greatest hits album, nearly 10 years afte being recorded i have no idea. Agreed. Forever is one of SR's best. I also agree, Skid Row are a true and solid rock band, love the song. Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Thorned Rose on March 20, 2006, 01:47:18 PM Bon jovi "Edge Of A Broken Heart" wouldve easily been a top 10 hit if it had made Slippery When Wet and is one of Bon Jovi's biggest regrets. That song was actually on a soundtrack in the late 80s and did chart at #38 I believe too and stayed there for 2 weeks before falling off. Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: axl_rose_700 on March 20, 2006, 03:46:12 PM The Masterplan, especially Acquiese, Half the world away and the materplan
also mersey paradise by the stone roses Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Mr. Dick Purple on March 20, 2006, 09:59:40 PM I dont know if it is taken as bside album but Hidden Treasures by Megadeth is just fabulous : ok:

Post by: Mr. Dick Purple on March 21, 2006, 11:50:37 AM Helloween - Livin aint no crime ( is great : ok: ) very beatleish ;D
Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Backslash on March 21, 2006, 11:58:14 AM I change my vote, after some research....
the best b-side (it eventually became an A side) is: I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Veon on March 23, 2006, 07:20:21 PM The best b-side ever (and my FAVORITE song ever) has to be "Hey, Hey What Can I Do" by Led Zeppelin. Another awsome b-side (that is if you are a Queens of the Stone Age fan) is "Ode to Clarissa"--- a balls out rocker!
Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: 1987 on March 24, 2006, 10:26:08 PM Yellowledbetter was the Bside the to jeremy single and a live version was the bside to the daughter single... i think its the best pearl jam song..
also, wasn't stairway to heaven a B side? or was it just never released as a single? Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: DEAD HORSE on March 25, 2006, 02:31:09 AM Almost every B side by Iron Maiden Is great , what else can i say? ;)
Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Mr. Dick Purple on March 25, 2006, 10:04:57 AM Even Juanita? :hihi:
Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: DEAD HORSE on March 25, 2006, 04:10:58 PM Even Juanita?? :hihi: well, thats why i said "almost" Lol ;) Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Megaguns on April 18, 2006, 06:35:28 AM i think" the sweetest thing " by U2 was originally a b side.
nirvana had some cool b sides too, cant remember the names.... Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Mr. Dick Purple on April 18, 2006, 10:29:37 AM i think" the sweetest thing " by U2 was originally a b side. nirvana had some cool b sides too, cant remember the names.... Yeah, ask bono for that info, also I think Dancing barefoot is a great b-side, bono ..? Title: Re: The greatest b sides thread. Post by: Kujo on April 18, 2006, 08:32:48 PM I completely forgot about the "Joshua Tree" B-Sides. Great stuff there.
Walk To The Water was my favorite but "Luminous Times" and "Everlasting Love" were great also. Hell, almost forgot "Room At The Heartbreak Hotel" |
