So what are the bands that come out with great & outstanding B-sides?
In my mind now there are 2 bands: Oasis and Pearl Jam.

    bright eyes? i didnt find any of their b-sides to really add much to their catalogue that their originals didnt already say. but to each their own eh? :)

    id say oasis is definitely a big one. like pearl jam, a lot of their b-sides surpass their album material.

    some of the "lost crowes" stuff from the black crowes is pretty fantastic. would nico count as b-sides? cos if so... blind melon, definitely!

    I agree ...

    Oasis and Pearl Jam have B-sides which surpass their album materials.

    id also say nirvana had some stellar b-sides. again, a band whose best songs didnt always make it to the album.

    The Strokes have an AWESOME B-side called "Hawaii", if you like the Strokes at all you should at least listen to a snippet.

    The Pixies
    Radiohead
    Oasis
    Smashing Pumpkins
    Nirvana

    a tough nut to crack being that you usually only bother with the b-sides of your very favorite bands
    "Stunned by my own reflection, It's looking back, sees me too clearly and I swore I'd never go there again, Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down,down,down"

    When you see me on the street, yell out "FAVO!!!"

    I've been to alot of Pearl Jam shows;So fucking what.

    funny that this is the first thing i see when i open the thread. i was thinking oasis as soon as i looked at it. the masterplan might be one of their best albums, and it's nothing but b-sides. pearl jam has great b-sides too and some of their b-sides from lost dogs are album material and even some of their best songs, but unlike oasis' b-sides, i can see why some of the songs didn't make the final cut.

    Radiohead's pre-Kid A b-sides were consistently up there with the quality of their studio work, but their more recent stuff has been decidedly lower in quality(except "Cuttooth").

    Smashing Pumpkins, I'll add in the countless outtakes and demos that exist as well, a nearly never-ending supply of songs, find the '89 Demos if you want a treat.

    The White Stripes have a good collection as well, some of their better songs are b-sides.

    pah! they didn't even have any good a sides!



    the wildhearts were a fantastic band for b sides - there were always at least 3 new tunes on any single release. caffine bomb and 29 times the pain were far better than much of the stuff that actually made it onto their albums!
