Missing from The Hits/The B-Sides

What song do you think the hits 1 and 2 is missing the most? I've always wondered why "Let's Work" wasn't on the collection.

Not to say I'd like to see it on there, but the most obvious
missing track is "Batdance". It ranked a lot higher in the
charts than 95% of the other songs.

But I can see why they'd let it off.

"Girls&Boys", "I Wish U Heaven", "Glam Slam", "Scandalous"
are a few others.

Personally, I always miss "Mountains" & "$ Don't Matter"
when I listen to it.

Definitely "Love or Money". Also, why have "Scarlett Pussy" without having "Violet the Organgrinder"? Who compiled the B-Sides? mad

Perhaps "Let's Work" or "Paisley Park" (especially the latter, in my mind).

"Batdance" was omitted, but honestly, it borrows so liberally from "200 Balloons" that I don't miss the track.

Does anybody know why there are no Batman songs on the Hits? Has it anything to do with copyrights.

I also miss Love or money and would have prefered the Alphabet St. edit instead of the album version.

I would have liked 2 see more than 1 parade track on there... neutral

...Partyman maybe too...and Paisley Park...and MDM2N,Let's Work, any other track from Lovesexy...

...actually thinking about it now, there's probably enough 4 a 3rd Hits Cd to be released neutral wink

Thank you. I was obviously way too liberal with the Crack Flakes yesterday morning.

Oh yeah, and

I would have loved to see "Violet" there, too. Definitely one of my favorites. But it probably doesn't qualify as a B-side since it's technically a remix.

Well... it's labeled a remix, but beyond that it's as much a B-side as 200 Balloons, dammit! So what held it back was its title. Damn titles.

from what I understand, the reason there weren't certain Batman songs on there was because they used the actor's voices in the big ones, and didn't want to pay the royalties to Nicholson, Keaton or Bassinger... but that is just what I've heard.

These b-sides...are they talking the about mainstream hits that are the ones on this 3 CD set? Because a lot of songs mentioned, that I even thought about, from 'Lovesexy', and 'Parade' were not released as singles, and were not on the charts...or someone refresh...was the song, for instance, 'I wonder U', or 'I wish U heaven' on the charts? If not, then I can somewhat understand why some would say 'Batdance', but not some of the others(?)...although they all VERY WELL SHOULD BE!!! wink

I can accept other omissions , but this one! disbelief

Batdance, as one of the most successful single ever, should have made it too. shrug
