PopTodd Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Off the top of my head I gotta go with: "Rain" - The Beatles "Needle Hits 'E'" - Sugar "Bombers" - David Bowie "Hey, Hey What Can I Say?" - Led Zeppelin But there are so many more that I know that I won't remember without your help. Probably more than one Smiths song, and a couple of Who things too? Maybe we can make an Ultimate VC B-Sides comp. after a little while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 "Rain" was the first to come to mind. "Erotic City" - Prince"17 Days" - Prince"How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore" - Prince Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ghost of Electricity Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I guess I'm not original in that "Rain" was the first to pop into my head too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mfwahl Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 It's almost cheating to use the Beatles: Baby You're A Rich Man, I Am The Walrus, A Day In The Life. Some of my favorite songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nodep5 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Radiohead "Faithless The Wonder Boy" B side of Creep I believe I don't even really care for Radiohead but this song was awesome when I was 16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 "Needle Hits 'E'" - SugarThat was my first thought. Not sure how this track didn't rank as an album track. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stooka Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 'Be-Bop-A-Lula' - Gene Vincent (1956) (from Spinner Magazine)Capitol's answer to a new RCA property named Elvis, this tough-guy rocker scored his breakout hit on his very first single -- with the B-side. The A-side, 'Woman Love,' was deemed too suggestive for radio play, but DJs flipped for the flip. So familiar-sounding that when Gladys Presley first heard it, she called her son to congratulate him.

mountain bed Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 The Rolling Stones "You Can't Always Get What You Want" (B-side of "Honky Tonk Women.")This was my first thought. How about Sunny South Kensington (b-side of Mellow Yellow)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moss Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I didn't really think there was such a thing as a "B side" after sometime in the 70's. Now does a "Cassingle" count? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thecanuck Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 The Rolling Stones "You Can't Always Get What You Want" (B-side of "Honky Tonk Women.")

Gene Vincent "Be-Bop-A-Lula" (B-side of "Woman Love.") Rod Stewart "Maggie May" Smiths "How Soon Is Now?" Great choices. "If Only You Were Lonely" is such a killer track. It sounds so unlike everything the Replacements were releasing at that time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have time to figure this out at the moment. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
