prince (the revolution era) is up there. his b-sides were sometimes better than the LP tracks. erotic city, she's always in my hair, 17 days, irrestiable bitch, girl, how come u don't call me anymore?, horny toad, another lonely christmas etc. what a musical genius.
i don't know about anyone else on the board but i'm an 80's 12" FANATIC. i'm crazy about 80's synth pop and all those great extended/remixed songs.

i'm gonna revive another one of dead threads. i want to make a compilation/mixtape of some great b-sides from all sorts of artist... if i feel like it...
i'm just curious to hear what some other peoples favorite b-sides are...
here are some of the ones i may use. it's difficult to only choose one prince song...

17 days is probably my favourite Prince b-side but it's a very close call

I like The Eels "I Write The B-sides"
"I write the B-sides
That make a small portion of the world cry
I like the seaside
And singing songs that make you not wanna die"
There's more, but I like that bit.
I liked Dave Grohl's acoustic "Marigold" from when he was with Nirvana.
Beck's "Salt In The Wound" is great, and even made it into one of those 2 Many DJ's sets.

come in number 51, your time is up - pink floyd (a re-recorded version of "careful with that axe eugene" for the film "zabriske point") (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDrVHmJUSDM&feature=related)
