I only bought Bowie's single 'Sorrow' for the far better b-side of his brilliant cover of Jacques Brel's 'Amsterdam'.

Though I love Lady Eleanor by Lindisfarne, the B side is fabulous too & with a great title. Nothing but the Marvellous is Beautiful. One of my fave song titles & some great lyrics. Also T Rex B sides were nearly always great songs too, Lady, Cadillac, Baby Strange, Thunderwing, Raw Ramp & of course, Life's a Gas (I Hope it's Gonna Last ;~)

Most of suzi quatro's B sides are better than the A sides. The B side to 'Daytona Demon' (Roman Fingers) is fantastic. The album 'A's B's and rarities' is a good way if discovering them.

B-sides to most of Adam & The Antz singles were better than the poppy A-sides
There is a good compilation of them called B-Side Babies

The b side of 'This Wreckage' by Gary Numan was a piano instrumental called 'Photogragh'............which i thought was better tbh.

A lot of early Siouxsie and the Banshees B sides were pretty good, such as Pulled to Bits (Playground Twist) and Love in a Void (Mittageisen).

The B side of London Calling, Armagideon Time, was as good as the A side imo.

Blood Money and Poison Door by The Sisters of Mercy were both better than their respective A sides

Re: B.sides you thought were better then then the A.side

Angelic Upstarts - Police Oppression on the B side to Teenage Warning was better than the A side
Dare I say it but I thought " I Wanna Be Me" on the B side to "Anarchy in the UK" by the Sex Pistols was equally as good ....

I doubt anyone's heard of this, but..........
Kings of Pressure's B side 'You Know How To Reach Us' is far better then the A side.

Re: B.sides you thought were better then then the A.side

Queen's We Will Rock You was better than We Are The Champions...We Can Work Work It Out was better than Day Tripper(The Beatles)..".Something" was better than "Come Together" (also The Beatles)..."The Umbrella Song" by Donny And Marie (Don't laugh.I like that song) was much better than I'm Leaving It All Up To You...The Sweet's: Rebel Rouser" was as least as good as,if not better than Peppermint Twist. McCartney's Sally G." was better than the "A" side "junior's farm."

Re: B.sides you thought were better then then the A.side

Could never decide if i preferred A side Paperback Writer or the B side rain by the Beatles

[stuckinthe80's]

Re: B.sides you thought were better then then the A.side

The Smiths - Cemetery Gates (B side to Ask)
Whitney Houston - Someone For Me (B side of How Will I Know)
Madonna - Let Down Your Guard (B side of Secret)
The Smiths - Well I Wonder (On the B side of How Soon is now) Not better but just as good!

Re: B.sides you thought were better then then the A.side

Smiths - Handsome Devil on the flip of Hand In Glove
Be Bop Deluxe - Crying To The Sky (far better than Ships In The Night)
Beatles - Rain (wipes the floor with Paperback Writer)
