    I feel like we may need to revisit the definition of "B - SIDE" in this thread.

    I see a good few posts with Lost Dogs tracks listed as a favorite B-Side.
    Most of those were just UNRELEASED tracks. Very few were actual album SINGLE B-SIDES.

    Not to be a dick, I'm just saying.
    (ie. OP lists "Just A Girl" = Previously Unreleased Demo, Not B-Side - Unless I'm An Ignornant Dick, which is possible)

    PS - I'm going with either Dirty Frank or Black Red Yellow. Prolly "Black Red Yellow"

    PPS - Songs That Are Questionably Listed As "B-Sides" In This Thread:
    Undone
    Down
    Just A Girl
    Sad
    Hard To Imagine (right?)

    Call me out for being a dick if i'm wrong, BUT LIST THE SINGLE THE SONG IS ON
    thanks
    :D
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    Technically, you are correct. But it has become very common for people to refer to any unreleased music as B-Sides. It's kind of like when people say "I could care less", but we all know that they mean "I couldn't care less" :lol:.

    Black Red Yellow (an actual B-side for the technically-inclined)

    Made the request to Ed 2 hours before the '05 Londow show and got it that night:

    Wow, this is a tough one. YOu almost forget how many of the great songs are B-sides. I think I have to go with "Sad". These aren't far behind:

    YL
    I Got Shit
    Footsteps
    Alone
    Hard to Imagine

    SAD

    I had wondered if it actually was a B-side or an unreleased demo, so thank you DriftingByTheStorm for clearing that out for me!
    -i'll still choose SAD though....

    Down is on the b-side of the I Am Mine 7" and the Bushleaguer promo 7", so definitely a b-side!

    my top 5;

    1. Hard To Imagine
    2. Down
    3. Alone
    4. Footsteps
    5. Yellow Ledbetter

    Deadman and Fatal are tied for me
    Behind her eyes there's curtains and they've been closed to hide the flames. Remains.
    She knows their futures burning but she can smile just the same. Same.
    And though her mood is fine today there's a fear they'll soon be parting ways.
