    I thought Telephantasm was a double album and A-Sides wasn't. Unless you meant you just like more songs on A-Sides.

    I prefer Telephantasm but Room is my favourite Soundgarden song and I love the BMF version so much that hearing the single version they put on Telephantasm just grates me.

    I believe that A-sides actually has more songs on it.  Think it was by 3-4-5 or something...would have to look it up.

    The single-disc version of Telephantasm is completely worthless. But the double-disc is great, way better than A-Sides. It contains an alternate (and in my opinion, better) version of All My Lies, and an AWESOME live version of Jesus Christ Pose. Not to mention the SNL performance of Pretty Noose, and a cooler title and artwork than A-Sides.

    The complete Telephantasm is way better IMO.

    Telephantasm? That’s some hilariously awful artwork.

    I could really go either way on the albums. I’ll go with A-sides as it was the only SG album I owned for the longest time.

    A-Sides is more "concise."
    (Although it loses a point or two for not including "My Wave.")

    They both have Get on the Snake on them so they are both great.
