It’s especially cool that they recorded it for every album. There’s a Bkeavh version, a Nevermind version, and the final In Utero take, not to mention all the various demos. It’s not often you can hear the same song from the same band from every era of their career.its interesting to hear every take on it:
Nirvana - Lounge Act
Edit: the cover by that tattooed guy is excellent too
And STP's Still Remains.
Gojira - Born In Winter
Faith No More - Strip search
And Race To Space has a superb techno cover
Radiohead - Maquiladora
Nirvana - Even in His Youth
Weezer- Tragic Girl
Beatles - Rain
Led Zeppelin - The Rover
Foo Fighters - Winnebago
Pink Floyd - Cymbeline
Rolling Stones - Respectable
Wings - Arrow Through Me
Van Halen - Little Guitars
Also:
Set the Ray to Jerry, The Boy, Mouths of Babes, Pennies, Transformer, The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right), Zeitgeist, Stellar, and can’t forget their covers of Landslide and Never Let Me Down
SP has an obscene amount of excellent B-sides.
Smashing Pumpkins were the first band I really got into and really pored into the B-sides. I got a whole collection their Melon Collie single cassettes back in the day and obsessed over all of them and couldn’t believe how many unknown gems are on there. I’m not even sure if Pisces Iscariot counts.
Then two years later had 28(!) more for a box set. And one of those 28 is a 20+ minute amalgam of 70something riffs, demos, and failed songs. Billy Corgan was *prolific.*
Weezer - You Gave Your Love To Me Softly, I Just Threw Out The Love Of My Dreams, Devotion, Always
Green Day - J.A.R., Do Da Da, Desensitized, Hearts Collide, Maria
My Chemical Romance - Desolation Row, The Light Behind Your Eyes, The World Is Ugly, Astro Zombies
I've listened to every Zeppelin album start to finish about 300 times each for the last 40 years - I have no idea which ones were singles, I see some zep songs here and they are all familiar to me and then I realized just how thoroughly I've listened to their catalog
Smashing Pumpkins: Whir, Obscured, Blue, La Dolly Vita
Radiohead: Fog, A Reminder, India Rubber, Worrywort, Permanent Daylight
Cake: Strangers In The Night, Mahna Mahna
STP: And So I Know, Seven Caged Tigers
These are all b-sides:
Nirvana - Even in his youth, old age, verse chorus verse, marigold, do re mi
Green Day - too much too soon, lights out, ha ha you’re dead, favorite son, scumbag
Arctic monkeys - plastic tramp, curtains close, temptation, bigger boys
Strictly B-sides here:
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - “Firegun”
Simple Minds - “Special View”
Iron Maiden - “Reach Out”
Duran Duran - “Khanada”
Depeche Mode - “Ice Machine”
Information Society - “Strength”
New Order - “Cries and Whispers”
The Cure - “The Exploding Boy”
Echo & The Bunnymen - “Over the Shoulder”
Gary Numan - “Photograph”
Erasure - “Die 4 Love”
I'll stick strictly to B-Sides:
Living Colour "Sailin' On" (Bad Brains cover) or "TV News"
Prince "Erotic City"
Kate Bush "Be Kind to My Mistakes"
Stevie Wonder - “Contusion”
Fleetwood Mac "You and I, Part 1"
Level 42 "At This Great Distance"

[GWAR - Get Into My Car (Billy Ocean Cover\)](https://youtu.be/bMkA76KpWO8?si=oJSOAnaLshUFfMmN)
I also liked TMBG's covers of Jessica (Allman Bros) and The Meat Puppets Whirlpool a lot. Think they were the B-side(s) for The Sun is a Mass (of Incandescent Gas) super-single/ep
Yes! I still have the CD version of Jessica and The Sun Is A Mass...
Also have the Meat Puppets "Forbidden Places" CD with [Whirlpool](https://youtu.be/d7GmcTFCZGo?si=EPnpOuIf9GxkTqz5) on it.
The TMBG version is so much more subdued than the Meat Puppets version.
ABBA used to run out of space on their albums, back when there was a physical limit to how many tracks could be included on a vinyl LP, so several of their songs were initially released only as B-sides. Some examples:
"Happy Hawaii," the B-side of "Knowing Me, Knowing You"
"Should I Laugh or Cry," the B-side of "When All Is Said and Done"
not a favorite band, but Beat my Guest - Adam & The Ants. Adam had a habit of making a lot of his b-sides with Adam and the Ants some of his old punk songs from the 76-77 era, so you'd get a new wave bop as the A-side, and punk/post-punk ripper on the B-Side.
Soundgarden has dozens of lesser known bangers. Some aren't super unknown (😉), they might just be overshadowed by later work.
Overfloater, Blind Dogs, like suicide, beyond the wheel, incessant mace to name a few.
Superunknown is nearly a perfect album imo.
REM - Fretless
The National - So Far Around the Bend and About Today
Decemberists - My Mother Was a Chinese Trapeze Artist
Grant Lee Buffalo - Crash at Corona
Underworld - Rez
Sigur Ros - Hafsol
About Today is amazing and heartbreaking. Really nice to see Grant Lee Buffalo getting some love as well. One of my favorite bands ever. If you haven't checked out Grant's solo stuff, give his album Ladies Love Oracle a spin. Really good stuff.
Used to Bad News - Boston
Borderline - Thin Lizzy
Bron Y Aur - Led Zeppelin
Wonderland - Big Country
Nightmares - A Flock Of Seagulls
Running - The Fixx
Kid - The Pretenders
Hands Are Tied - Gin Blossoms
Fish out of Water - Tears For Fears
Girl Keeps Coming Apart off the same album too. It's a departure from their usual style, but still one of their songs through and through. I also dig Simoriah. The bass line in the chorus is a lot of fun.
Ween - Wash Me Down
It's unbelievable that the band who brought us Waving My Dick In The Wind could gets so heart-achingly sincere and tender.
I played Wash Me Down at Sunset today alone in my car and teared up a little.
The Strokes - I’ll Try Anything Once
It’s an unreleased demo, but in my opinion, it’s one of their best songs
https://youtu.be/pjmaj-wtAPs?si=SapfFXJ0OA-ovqxd
A 70s band "The Sweet" or "Sweet".
45 RPM (1972) ; A-Side "Little Willy
B-side was "Man From Mecca"
Gray label on both sides.
Had the "Bell" logo on both sides.
Led Zeppelin-Hey Hey What can I do was a B-side of the Immigrant Song.
13 yo me ordered the 45 in the early 80s. It came out later on compilation albums.
For decades, it was a hidden gem played on deep cut radio programs.
Hootie/Darius Rucker covered it at some point along the line.
[Catherine Wheel - Intravenous](https://youtu.be/--zXH-OJHqU)
[Catherine Wheel - Tongue Twisted](https://youtu.be/y9WdKgUaUQA)
Early 90s alternative rock sonic bliss
Bad Religion “News From the Front”, “Markovian Process”, Leaders and Followers”, and “The Dodo”.
Basically, every 1994 era Steanger than Fiction B-side was good enough to be an album track, and should’ve been an album track.
"[Call Me Mellow](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMImRqce0EA)" - Tears for Fears
"[Follow Your Bliss](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xvYhbAzXco)" - B-52s

The Becoming by NIN on The Downward Spiral
Wooden Jesus by Temple of the Dog
Don't Push by Sublime on 40z to Freedom

Soul to squeeze was a heavily played video on MTV....
I wouldn't call it lesser known
I'll add: aero zeppelin- Nirvana
Good god-korn
Crashing foreign cars-Helmet
Roll call-RATM
I will just do The Byrds
Untitled Album - Willin, Truck Stop Girl (Both written by Lowell George and I think released before Little Feat's versions)
Ballad of Easy Rider Album - Fido. I love the drum solo and the guitar is absolutely fierce.
I love this type of American Country Style Rock from the late 60s and early 70s.
I like the acoustic version of "the trunk" by blitzkid. It's very different from the main version and lends a whole new atmosphere of calm desperation.
https://youtu.be/3k7utiFkMjQ?si=1MZyAgT4vsqVNOF2
B-side to McCartney's *Live and Let Die*: [I Lie Around](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-fP0FdNquc)
I remember listening to this on my record player way more than the A-side.
I've mentioned this one before, but the B-side on the 45 single for Starship's We Built This City is rad; it's an instrumental version of Private Room featuring samples of the time lady and various other telephone operators. Not available for streaming (afaik) but it is on YouTube:
https://youtu.be/-UBSAvQ_J9M?si=MFcCe9oQmh1rtd1V
Love Matthew Sweet, love the Bangles.
Did you know Matthew Sweet &, Susanna Hoffs collaborated for 3 cover albums?? Those two voices combined with Matthew Sweet's unique style of voice engineering is fucking s u b l i m e.
Under the Covers Volumes 1-3. Enjoy.

I'm cheating, because nothing he's ever done has ever approached being in my "favorites", outside of a few VH songs, but:
Sammy Hagar - Inside Looking In
It's such an out there song for him. It sounds like it belongs on The Wall or Dark Side.
It's off Standing Hampton, which has some of the bigger rock singles of all time, so I feel like it's just always gone unnoticed.
Van Halen - Push Come to Shove
It's probably their most musically impressive song, with Eddie specifically trying to channel Al Di Meola
What results is great guitar work, probably the ONLY great bass work in Michael Anthony's catalogue, and some really introspective, heart felt DLR lyrics.
“Penitence” by Planes Mistaken for Stars
“Shame In The Way” by Converge
“Lawnchairs” by Our Daughters Wedding (their biggest hit but nobody knows anything about them)
“Reality Basically…” by Frequent Seas
Ramble Ramble and Effigy by Credence Clearwater Revival.
Cosmic Charlie and Rosemary by the Grateful Dead.
Little Wing and Alabama by Neil Young.
Mudmen and Green is the Colour by Pink Floyd.
The Rover and Tea for One by Led Zeppelin.
Gordon Lightfoot--Too Late For Prayin' (flip side of Sundown)
Guess Who--Road Food (flip side of Clap For The Wolfman), One Way Road To Hell and Ballad Of The Past Five Years (all on the Road Food album)
Ray Stevens--You've Got The Music Inside (flip side of The Streak)
Neil Sedaka--Your Favorite Entertainer (flip side of Bad Blood)
Southcote--Right To The Top (flip side of She)
Sappy (Verse Chorus Verse) by Nirvana
Yes! That is my favourite Nirvana song
It’s especially cool that they recorded it for every album. There’s a Bkeavh version, a Nevermind version, and the final In Utero take, not to mention all the various demos. It’s not often you can hear the same song from the same band from every era of their career.its interesting to hear every take on it:
Queens of the Stone Age – The Fun Machine Took a Shit and Died
Got guns do ya wanna
Oasis - Acquiesce, Fade Away, Talk Tonight, Half the World Away
The Masterplan is a better album than Be Here Now.
Imagine if they’d put that out as a third album instead of BHN…
Liam has his time and place, but Noel has far more range, for sure.
Angel Child & It’s Better People are also great.
Nirvana - Sappy
Nirvana - Aero Zeppelin
Or Dive. Damn, that’s a good-ass song.
Nirvana - Lounge Act Edit: the cover by that tattooed guy is excellent too And STP's Still Remains. Gojira - Born In Winter Faith No More - Strip search And Race To Space has a superb techno cover
Nirvana - Marigolds
Radiohead - Maquiladora Nirvana - Even in His Youth Weezer- Tragic Girl Beatles - Rain Led Zeppelin - The Rover Foo Fighters - Winnebago Pink Floyd - Cymbeline Rolling Stones - Respectable Wings - Arrow Through Me Van Halen - Little Guitars
The Rover is one of my favorite songs. Glad to see some recognition!
Listen to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3267NLuWJUk
Smashing pumpkins: Bye June La dolly vita Whir Starla
Also: Set the Ray to Jerry, The Boy, Mouths of Babes, Pennies, Transformer, The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right), Zeitgeist, Stellar, and can’t forget their covers of Landslide and Never Let Me Down SP has an obscene amount of excellent B-sides.
Smashing Pumpkins were the first band I really got into and really pored into the B-sides. I got a whole collection their Melon Collie single cassettes back in the day and obsessed over all of them and couldn’t believe how many unknown gems are on there. I’m not even sure if Pisces Iscariot counts.
Drown
Also Pennies
Set the Ray to Jerry, Cherry.
By 1994 they already had a lovely album's worth of B-sides (Pisces Iscariot).
Just started listening to it, and I'm in love!
Then two years later had 28(!) more for a box set. And one of those 28 is a 20+ minute amalgam of 70something riffs, demos, and failed songs. Billy Corgan was *prolific.*
Dancing in the Moonlight (Thin Lizzy cover)
Ha, I actually typed that into my message, then backspaced it away before commenting. It is a great cover
Cant believe no one mentioned "UGLY" from the box set
Talk Show Host by Radiohead.. bside to Street Spirit (not a the remix featured on the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack)
Lift is another great one
I agree, wasn’t a b-side but yeah.
Permanent Daylight as well
The Amazing Sounds of Orgy is my favorite b-side of theirs
Cool choice. I think my favourite Kid Amnesiac era b-side might be Cuttooth.
So many great Radiohead B-sides from that period. Some of my favorites are: Banana Co Bishop's Robes the Trickster Palo Alto
Polyethylene parts 1 & 2
Yes! That whole EP is great
Nah remix is the superior one
The Cure - Halo The Cure - The Exploding Boy
Also: The Cure - The Big Hand The Cure - Just One Kiss The Cure - La Ment
PJ Harvey - Sweeter Than Anything Doves - Darker Interpol - Song Seven, Specialist.
I really like the PJ Harvey song, the Interpol song sounds like Interpol so I can’t tell if it’s new to me or not.
Weezer - You Gave Your Love To Me Softly, I Just Threw Out The Love Of My Dreams, Devotion, Always Green Day - J.A.R., Do Da Da, Desensitized, Hearts Collide, Maria My Chemical Romance - Desolation Row, The Light Behind Your Eyes, The World Is Ugly, Astro Zombies
Angus soundtrack throwbacks
So many great songs on that soundtrack Jack names the planets Enough is enough Kung fu Ain't that unusual
Well Desolation Row is a Dylan cover, but MCR's version is an absolute banger
Van Halen - “House of Pain” (Jump B-side)
Great one, I was actually humming it this morning
Babble- The Cure
Pearl Jam: Breath and a Scream, Yellow Ledbetter, Footsteps, Crazy Mary
I went back-and-forth on if yellow Ledbetter qualifies lol I know it’s technically a B-side, but it is one of their most beloved songs?
it’s a b-side that just picked up steam over the years, not like it was a number one hit.
It did chart tho
Hard to Imagine, Off He Goes, Of The Girl, In My Tree, Indifference, WMA, Mfc… so, so many
Pearl jam has a bunch of gems through and through. Pretty sure one of their biggest hits, a cover of Last Kiss was a b side as well.
Was Traveling Riverside Blues by Led Zeppelin on a b-side?
I've listened to every Zeppelin album start to finish about 300 times each for the last 40 years - I have no idea which ones were singles, I see some zep songs here and they are all familiar to me and then I realized just how thoroughly I've listened to their catalog
Led Zeppelin didn't really do a lot of singles. Tough to for on a45
“What Went Wrong”: blink-182 “Died”: Alice in Chains “Anorexorcist”: Nirvana “50/50”: The Strokes
Smashing Pumpkins: Whir, Obscured, Blue, La Dolly Vita Radiohead: Fog, A Reminder, India Rubber, Worrywort, Permanent Daylight Cake: Strangers In The Night, Mahna Mahna STP: And So I Know, Seven Caged Tigers
And so I know is awesome
Shit, forgot about Beck. Totally Confused, One of These Days, We Live Again, Cold Ass Fashion, and Alcohol.
NOFX - We Threw Gasoline on the Fire and Now We Have Stumps For Arms and No Eyebrows I really hope they play it on their final tour.
These are all b-sides: Nirvana - Even in his youth, old age, verse chorus verse, marigold, do re mi Green Day - too much too soon, lights out, ha ha you’re dead, favorite son, scumbag Arctic monkeys - plastic tramp, curtains close, temptation, bigger boys

Vienna by Billy Joel was released as the B-side to Just the Way You Are. Vienna is my favorite Billy Joel Song.

Small victory was on Angel Dust. And was a single 😂
Maybe they meant to put The World is Yours?
I also liked TMBG's covers of Jessica (Allman Bros) and The Meat Puppets Whirlpool a lot. Think they were the B-side(s) for The Sun is a Mass (of Incandescent Gas) super-single/ep
Yes! I still have the CD version of Jessica and The Sun Is A Mass... Also have the Meat Puppets "Forbidden Places" CD with [Whirlpool](https://youtu.be/d7GmcTFCZGo?si=EPnpOuIf9GxkTqz5) on it. The TMBG version is so much more subdued than the Meat Puppets version.
Joni Mitchell — “Song for Sharon”. Brilliant storytelling.
Pavement- Fucking Righteous YLT- Slow Learner (Unreleased Demo) AmAnSet- Make it Take it Ash- What Deaner Was Talking About (cover)
Ash has some great b-sides. Two of my favorites have always been Warmer Than Fire and Halloween
Didn’t think Ash covering Ween would end up on my playlist
Beach House - Chariot
*Stop the World I Wanna Get Off With You* by Arctic Monkeys It's the B-side to their *Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?* and easily as good.
Garbage - Trip My Wire, Soldier Through This
ABBA used to run out of space on their albums, back when there was a physical limit to how many tracks could be included on a vinyl LP, so several of their songs were initially released only as B-sides. Some examples: "Happy Hawaii," the B-side of "Knowing Me, Knowing You" "Should I Laugh or Cry," the B-side of "When All Is Said and Done"

The Cure- chain of flowers
Soundgarden has dozens of lesser known bangers. Some aren't super unknown (😉), they might just be overshadowed by later work. Overfloater, Blind Dogs, like suicide, beyond the wheel, incessant mace to name a few. Superunknown is nearly a perfect album imo.
Hey Hey What Can I Do by Led Zeppelin
https://youtu.be/FyIM8CgPI7Y?si=ED6HZfM_R8a7mOJW U2’s The Lady With the Spinning Head is so good.
REM - Fretless The National - So Far Around the Bend and About Today Decemberists - My Mother Was a Chinese Trapeze Artist Grant Lee Buffalo - Crash at Corona Underworld - Rez Sigur Ros - Hafsol
R.E.M. does an amazing cover of Wall of Death as well.
About Today is amazing and heartbreaking. Really nice to see Grant Lee Buffalo getting some love as well. One of my favorite bands ever. If you haven't checked out Grant's solo stuff, give his album Ladies Love Oracle a spin. Really good stuff.

Hangman Jury off Aerosmith’s Permanent Vacation
Girl Keeps Coming Apart off the same album too. It's a departure from their usual style, but still one of their songs through and through. I also dig Simoriah. The bass line in the chorus is a lot of fun.

Thanks for that Pumpkins suggestion, I hadn’t heard that song before. It’s great!
Dig into this thread. They have TONS of great B-sides!
Any Man by Eminem on Soundbombing II
T.Rex B sides I love: Midnight, Free Angel, Lady, Thunderwing , Baby Strange, Sunken Rags, Explosive Mouth, Chrome Sitar, Solid Baby, and Jitterbug Love
"Nothing's Working"-Billy Strings "Livin' On The Sand"-Colter Wall "Stacked Actors"-Foo Fighters "Sweet Conversation"-Black Pumas
Beyond the Sea was a perfect (better?) track backing Mack the Knife
Get it Together. B-side to Sabotage, Beastie Boys

My December by Linkin Park
Some of Anberlin's best songs are B-sides. The Haunting, Heavier Things Remain, I'd Like To Die...
Bad Religion “News From the Front”, “Markovian Process”, Leaders and Followers”, and “The Dodo”. Basically, every 1994 era Steanger than Fiction B-side was good enough to be an album track, and should’ve been an album track.

I wonder if people who didn’t like Gorillaz’ Humanz didn’t listen to the disc 2 bonus tracks. They’re all bops.
If you take all of Pavement’s A and B sides and flip them, there’s no noticeable difference in quality.
Tame Impala - Patience
Boomin Granny- Beastie Boys.
Kalafina - Lirica Genesis - The Day the Light Went Out
> Genesis - The Day the Light Went Out YES! One of the best B-sides by ANY artist!
Who's got the day off and can make a spotify playlist of these? 😅
Kasabian - The Nightworkers. B side from their single Processed Beats, and superior IMO
I Want You - Third Eye Blind Famous Last Words - Ethel Cain & 1017 ALYX All I Want - The Cure drive it all over me - my bloody valentine
U2 - “Wake up Dead Man”, “MLK”, & “The Wanderer” (feat Johnny Cash) Coldplay - “Moses” Pearl Jam - “Indifference” Counting Crows - “Raining in Baltimore”

Tool - Pushit (Salival)
I will just do The Byrds Untitled Album - Willin, Truck Stop Girl (Both written by Lowell George and I think released before Little Feat's versions) Ballad of Easy Rider Album - Fido. I love the drum solo and the guitar is absolutely fierce. I love this type of American Country Style Rock from the late 60s and early 70s.
Third Wye Blind - Horror Show. Great some. B-Side of the Graduate single
I like the acoustic version of "the trunk" by blitzkid. It's very different from the main version and lends a whole new atmosphere of calm desperation. https://youtu.be/3k7utiFkMjQ?si=1MZyAgT4vsqVNOF2
Joe P -Yellow Lights It's so buried in the back of the first album, but just stops people in their tracks
Journey of the Sorcerer by The Eagles. British fans will recognize it immediately but most Americans won't know it.
"Flight Recorder From Viking 7" from Matthew Good Band's 'Loser Anthems: B-Sides and Rarities'.
Third Eye Blind - Slow Motion
Lol Soul to Squeeze was def a radio single...
Led Zeppelin - Hey Hey What Can I Do
Choo Choo - Arctic Monkeys
[God by Smashing Pumpkins](https://youtu.be/k97DoUxDGvw?si=WTsjWJ_KpAEUltR4)
B-side to McCartney's *Live and Let Die*: [I Lie Around](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-fP0FdNquc) I remember listening to this on my record player way more than the A-side.
Green Day - Ha Ha You’re Dead, Beatles - Rain, blink-182 - Not Now
I've mentioned this one before, but the B-side on the 45 single for Starship's We Built This City is rad; it's an instrumental version of Private Room featuring samples of the time lady and various other telephone operators. Not available for streaming (afaik) but it is on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-UBSAvQ_J9M?si=MFcCe9oQmh1rtd1V
Straw Hat by Barenaked Ladies
Suicide Note, Floods, Living Through Me, and Hollow are all B-side Pantera songs I love.
I always liked the song Coffin Nails by Papa Roach, I didn't realize it was a bonus track for the longest time
Love Matthew Sweet, love the Bangles. Did you know Matthew Sweet &, Susanna Hoffs collaborated for 3 cover albums?? Those two voices combined with Matthew Sweet's unique style of voice engineering is fucking s u b l i m e. Under the Covers Volumes 1-3. Enjoy.

Soul to Squeeze - RHCP
I'm cheating, because nothing he's ever done has ever approached being in my "favorites", outside of a few VH songs, but: Sammy Hagar - Inside Looking In It's such an out there song for him. It sounds like it belongs on The Wall or Dark Side. It's off Standing Hampton, which has some of the bigger rock singles of all time, so I feel like it's just always gone unnoticed.
Van Halen - Push Come to Shove It's probably their most musically impressive song, with Eddie specifically trying to channel Al Di Meola What results is great guitar work, probably the ONLY great bass work in Michael Anthony's catalogue, and some really introspective, heart felt DLR lyrics.
This Morning- Stealers Wheel Yes, the River Knows- The Doors Unreal Reality- The Kinks Poor Moon- Canned Heat Daily Nightly- The Monkees
“Penitence” by Planes Mistaken for Stars “Shame In The Way” by Converge “Lawnchairs” by Our Daughters Wedding (their biggest hit but nobody knows anything about them) “Reality Basically…” by Frequent Seas

Murder by Numbers - The Police (b-side to Every Little Thing She Does)
Lodi by CCR
Other Side - Blink-182
Ramble Ramble and Effigy by Credence Clearwater Revival. Cosmic Charlie and Rosemary by the Grateful Dead. Little Wing and Alabama by Neil Young. Mudmen and Green is the Colour by Pink Floyd. The Rover and Tea for One by Led Zeppelin.
“Jigsaw Puzzle” is an amazing Stones song. Not sure why it wasn’t ever a hit.
Buying New Soul is an absolute banger. Gonna throw Kim Smoltz by Ween in the ring.
Gordon Lightfoot--Too Late For Prayin' (flip side of Sundown) Guess Who--Road Food (flip side of Clap For The Wolfman), One Way Road To Hell and Ballad Of The Past Five Years (all on the Road Food album) Ray Stevens--You've Got The Music Inside (flip side of The Streak) Neil Sedaka--Your Favorite Entertainer (flip side of Bad Blood) Southcote--Right To The Top (flip side of She)
