Great "B-Sides" artists (next to Prince) Hello there,

B-sides take an artist to the next level, in my opinion. They are a fan's wet dream!

quoted for emphasis...as a former cure completist, i had real mixed feelings when this came out. it completed my collection, at the same time making it obsolete. the b-sides from the wish album are some of my favorite cure songs ever. www.lala.com .....it changed my record collection, it can do the same for you. | |

Depeche Mode also....especially instrumentals such as St Jarna, the b-side to Little 15 Alternative is VERY old. They need to come up with a follow up to that. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

Hell some of the B sides are better than the A sides.  That's very true. I'll bet that they struggle with what to put on and what to leave off. Fundamental was a strange oddity as ALL of the B-sides would have sounded better on the album than some of the songs that were on there. I think there is always a reason like not liking how the vocals come out i.e Party Song. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

well, my favorite B-Side Band is the Beatles!!! Revolution, Strawberry Fields Forever, I'm Down, Rain, I Am The Walrus... but they're B-Sides are too known to be considered b-sides I guess.. PSB has some great b-sides BUT Neil said they won't release a follow up to Alternative since the b-sides will be featured in the Further Listening CDs I think the Beatles released Double A-sides. Yeah it's a shame that there will be no follow up to alternative. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

superspaceboy, most of the singles were not Double A-Sides. As far as I know We Can Work It Out/Day Tripper and Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever were. | |

good call. their last b-side compilation could have been a new gorillaz album in itself, it's so full of good stuff. i agree with the cure too, especially with the statement that as cool as the 'join the dots' box set is, it does kinda take the shine out of a lot of our hard-earned rarities collections. not that i'm complaining. i'm still digging through that box set! the pixies did a pretty good job with b-sides too, for as brief as their recording history was. i have a b-sides compilation of theirs, and it's pretty solid. the bowie geek in me was tickled to discover the pixies covered neil young's "i've been waiting for you", which bowie also covered on the "heathen" album (bowie also covered a pixies song on that album...coincidence?). | |

Krid said: Hello there,
who in your opinion makes a great effort to release great B-sides? Obviously Prince is way up there, but I think some other artists are pretty cool in that respect as well. Top of my heads are Pet Shop Boys, Oasis, Depeche Mode, and even Mariah Carey has some cool "alternative" versions (although not really B-sides in the sense of new, unreleased songs). Your favourites? Beside Prince, the only other "B-Sides" artist I ever care about was Janet. Tupac "Makaveli" Shakur (RIP 1971-1996) & Michael Jackson (RIP 1958-2009)
2 men that had their lives taken away the moment they were speaking out AND rebelling against the dark side of the music industry once too often. | |

every mentioned some good ones, i think, smashing pumpkins. t.rex perhaps as well? What the fuck is a horse anyways? It looks like a really deformed beaver. You should probably pay more attention to these types of things.
