goose Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 Springsteen's Pink Cadillac (b-side to Dancing in the Dark) became a moderate hit in it's own right. One of my fav songs from Bruce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) Adam and the Ants - Beat My Guest I remember modest radio play of this b-side back in high school, and it was huge with fans of the Ants Edited August 7, 2019 by goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Maiden’s excellent cover of I’ve Got the Fire was the b-side to Flight of Icarus I always liked their cover of Cross-Eyed Mary, too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutlefan Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 How about "Silver Springs", the Fleetwood Mac song left off the Rumours LP... Stevie Knicks was furious that the rest of the band made the decision to leave the song off the album over her objections (not enough space). Personally, I far prefer it to Songbird or Oh Daddy (esp Oh Daddy), despite usually really liking C. McKvie's songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) My three favorite b-sides that didn't appear on an LP (not already mentioned and not counting EP/extended singles tracks): The Exploding Boy by The Cure (backed In Between Days)All of Us by Big Country (backed In a Big Country)Annex by OMD (backed Enola Gay) Edited August 7, 2019 by Rutlefan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 How about "Silver Springs", the Fleetwood Mac song left off the Rumours LP... Stevie Nicks is still bitter, as of course this was one of "her" songs. Mick Fleetwood explained it was just about the room on the side of an LP but if there was one record that needed no added tension , it was Rumours! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony R Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 As alluded to above: Grendel by Marillion. On the flipside of Market Square Heroes. Market Square Heroes is an A Side that never appeared on an original studio album release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
