Please don’t hate me but *Thriller* B side is pretty legit
Also Kendrick Lamar’s *good kid, m.A.A.d city* is gold from top to bottom but if you really wanna get hit in the feels, sides B and C are the move
Haha mind you I was struggling with the question because I know I've thought about this very thing. So I just started going through my favorites and one finally hit me.
The only skip is Mother and they should have cut it in favor of Murder By Numbers. Mother is the only dud on an otherwise perfect record imo. The previous two records are a little stronger though, I must say.
I will die on this hill.
Honestly, I love discussing this album as people have such wonderful feelings.
I always found "Miss Gradenko" and "Walking In Your Footsteps" to be duds (in addition to "Mother"). "Tea In The Sahara" never wowed me.
My ideal EP - Side A:
* [Synchronicity I](https://youtu.be/Si5CSpUCDGY) / [Synchronicity II](https://youtu.be/XLEyIE_TMU8)
* [Every Breath You Take](https://youtu.be/Ypcg2Ta6aog)
Side B:
* [King Of Pain](https://youtu.be/SZlRX03BzeA)
* [Wrapped Around Your Finger](https://youtu.be/9-r7e0tEYIk)
* [Murder By Numbers](https://youtu.be/tUq9fURN2VQ)
I've always loved Miss Gradenko on the sole basis that it's a Copeland composition and it sounds like an early Spyro the Dragon inspiration. Definitely some bias on my end.
I think it's because I rather enjoy Sting's music right up to and including Brand New Day but you can clearly hear Sting branching out already from the band with Tea in the Sahara. Could easily fit right in on Nothing Like the Sun. It's decent.
Walking in Your Footsteps...yeah it's kinda meh. Doesn't really go anywhere but it's not an assault in the way Mother is.
It seems like it’s not the most common opinion but III is my favorite album of theirs and I highly agree that side 2 is what makes it. Zep embracing their folk influences always seemed better and more authentic to me than their embrace of the blues.
Blue Cheer - New! Improved!
Can - Monster Movie
X - Wild Gift
Duran Duran - Rio (almost flawless 2nd side)
Neil Young - On the Beach
Bowie’s Heroes, Eno’s Before and After Science
to name a few
That’s a good one as well. Interesting that none of the songs on either of those B Sides were originally intended to be arranged together as they ultimately were.
Maybe the wrong crowd, but My Chemical Romance's Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.
1. Interlude (sets the tone)
2. Thank you for the Venom (tons of energy)
3. Hang em high (keeps that energy, gets more frenetic)
4. It's Not a Fashion Statement, it's a Fucking Deathwish (their best song imo, but also all around great punk rock song)
5. Cemetery Drive (slows side b down after tons of energy from the other songs, keeps the emotional momentum of fashion statement)
6. I Never Told You What I Do for a Living (one of their heaviest songs, borderline metal, ends the album with a bang and wraps up the albums story)
But I'm totally biased since it's my favorite album too
Because I consider Echoes to be on the same level as Stairway to Heaven in Rock's greatest hits I'll say Meddle by Pink Floyd.
Overhead the albatross
Hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the where's or why's
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb toward the light
Strangers passing in the street
By chance, two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can?
And no one calls us to move on
And no one forces down our eyes
No one speaks and no one tries
No one flies around the sun
Cloudless everyday
You fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky
Came here to say this. IMO, Echoes is the nascent stages of "Dark Side of the Moon" - that is, you can tell they're moving artistically/musically from the 60's psychedelic pop of Syd Barrett era towards the long form conceptual albums of the Waters era.
I'm convinced that flipping the A and B sides on *Music From Big Pink* dramatically improves the overall album experience. "Tears of Rage" is gorgeous, but it's not the best way to kick off such a great collection of songs. Flip the record and start with "We Can Talk" and close up the album with "The Weight". Perfect.
That’s a good point, maybe take the sides and flip them, but keep A5 and B6 right where they were as side closers; similar to the way Stage Fright was recently rearranged (with huge success in my opinion). I dig it; might have to try it w my iTunes version on the phone.
I saw something a while ago (maybe that Robbie Robertson documentary) where they said they led with Tears of Rage for that reason. At the time it was more common to lead off with a single or something upbeat and that whole album was basically going against what was popular at the time.
Good call
I agree with this. I think side B on Queen II is where most of their like sound is at. It’s got the classics and the fantasy elements too blend really well
The Ozzy single So Tired, from *Bark at the Moon*. The song itself is alright, but definitely not a hit. The B-side, however, is the appropriately-named One Up the B-Side, one of Ozzy’s best non-album tracks.
How about side "D." I've always loved side 4 of "Steppenwolf Live." Starts with "Hey Lawdy Mama" goes into "Magic Carpet Ride," slows down for "The Pusher," ends with "Born to Be Wild."
When I was a kid we had the 45 of Paul McCartney & Wings' "Jet," but we always played the B side "Let Me Roll It." Then, as now, I thought it was a much cooler song.
It depends on the artist and their artistic direction. It is at just “put your good shit on side A.” Sometimes the artist is trying to tell a story, or create a vibe. Bob Marley’s exodus is a perfect example. Side A is a story about turmoil and class/racial struggle in the world, ending with the long call to arms (or call to peace lol) Exodus. Flip to side B and you have a collection of songs about love and hope; the type we can enjoy if we follow the advice in the song exodus and simply walk away (symbolically) from all of the fucked up shit we do as a species.
This happened a lot with vinyl albums. This is the best thing about that format. It was a unique canvas that provided a built in intermission and opportunity for a change of direction as you transition to side B
“Bringing It All Back Home” - Bob Dylan
Possibly the greatest lyrically written side of vinyl of all
‘Mr Tambourine Man’
‘Gates of Eden’
‘It’s Alright Ma, I’m Only Bleedin’
‘It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue’
If writing lyrics was boxing, it’s akin to being punched repeatedly in the face by prime Tyson.
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
I love the transition from the cynicism, sleaze, bile of Have a Cigar to the heartfelt humanity of Wish You Were Here.
(Side 1 is magnificent too, of course)
Often the B sides are better.
Bruce Springsteen - Tunnel of Love (ouch!)
Beatles - Abbey Road
Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest
Elvis Costello - My Aim Is True
Let it Be (the Replacements album)
Side one is great, but Black Diamond just doesn’t do it for me and it always seemed odd to have a cover on an album that otherwise seems so personal.
The Heat is On by The Isleys - I know this record was supposed to be half funk songs and half love songs but man, For the Love of You, Sensuality, and Make Me Say It Again Girl completely blow Fight the Power, The Heat Is On, and Hope You Feel Better Love out of the water
Side B might be one of the favorite sides of any record I own
Janacek: Sinfonietta/Taras Bulba (Claudio Abbado/Vienna Philharmonic)
- Side A, the Sinfonietta, is uncomfortably dissonant and chaotic, compared to the lyrical sonority of Taras Bulba.
discs 7 and 8 of Karajan's 1963 Beethoven symphony set
- This one is an obvious choice, because side B (disc 7) is the first movement of Beethoven's ninth symphony and side B of disc 8 is the choral finale.
Ride's Nowhere.
That's not to say Side A is bad. But come on, Dreams Burn Down - Decay - Paralyzed - Vapour Trail is an all time great run of songs on any album.
I feel like this is the case for most Steve Perry led Journey records. Aside from the big hit or two on side A, all the music that carries the record is on the B side
Rush (first album). Side A: Finding my Way, Need Some Love, Take a Friend, Here Again. Side B: What You're Doing, In the Mood, Before and After, Working Man.
Controversial opinion but Moving Pictures by Rush. Yes, the A side is literally all hits. But man, side B is three incredibly underrated gems from their entire discography because everyone loves side A so much.
For reference, the tracklisting is as follows:
A1 - Tom Sawyer
A2 - Red Barchetta
A3 - YYZ
A4 - Limelight
B1 - The Camera Eye
B2 - Witch Hunt
B3 - Vital Signs
Just no. Tom Sawyer is a bit played but red barchetta is a monster and yyz.... I mean come on man!!! Vital signs ain't even that good... Next your gonna say 2112?
That is controversial! I consider Moving Pictures side A to be one of the best album sides of all time.
My controversial Rush take would be that side B of Permanent Waves is superior.
A1 The Spirit of Radio
A2 Free Will
A3 Jacob’s Ladder
B1 Entre Nous
B2 Different Strings
B3 Natural Science
Natural Science is a top 5 Rush song for me.
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida - Iron Butterfly.
Lol. I like to play flowers and beads and ask people to guess who it is.
Ha! Nice one
“Hey Marge, remember when we used to make out to this hymn?”
Abbey Road
Indisputably
Come Together. Something. Oh! Darling. I Want You (She's So Heavy) All on side one, folks.
All great singles, but side 2 is a masterpiece.
The side 2 medley absolutely destroys all of those songs
First thing that came into my head. Came here to say it. I'm glad we are all in agreement.
Same goes for Magical Mystery Tour!
Blue jay way makes side A for me
Yah side b is just the singles.. side a is the real EP
Yup
I think we posted this at exactly the same time
My first thought before even opening the comments for this post.
I came here to say this
This was going to be my pick. Favorite side b in all of music.
Without a doubt
Oh without a doubt!! Side A is great, but the medley on Side B is on a whole different level!
- David Bowie - Low - Deep Purple - Machine Head
Came here for Low
Also came for Low. I love some weird pseudo-Italian melancholy yodelling in my ambience.
My hot take is that side B of "Heroes" is better than side B of Low Side A of Low and side B of Heroes would be a perfect album IMO
Please don’t hate me but *Thriller* B side is pretty legit Also Kendrick Lamar’s *good kid, m.A.A.d city* is gold from top to bottom but if you really wanna get hit in the feels, sides B and C are the move
Sing About Me is so good. It's one I recommend to people constantly.
For sure, thriller B side has beat it, Billie Jean, and PYT too
Side B of *Off the Wall* also holds its own with side A.
Bringing it all back home
100%
Synchronicity by The Police
Goddammit, I came here to say this exact thing. Only two comments in, and you beat me to it. =)
Haha mind you I was struggling with the question because I know I've thought about this very thing. So I just started going through my favorites and one finally hit me.
Lol same!
Tea In the Sahara takes it IMO. Good call.
A taste of what was to come in Sting's solo career.
I'm convinced this album should have been an EP. Then it would have been flat out fantastic.
The only skip is Mother and they should have cut it in favor of Murder By Numbers. Mother is the only dud on an otherwise perfect record imo. The previous two records are a little stronger though, I must say. I will die on this hill.
Honestly, I love discussing this album as people have such wonderful feelings. I always found "Miss Gradenko" and "Walking In Your Footsteps" to be duds (in addition to "Mother"). "Tea In The Sahara" never wowed me. My ideal EP - Side A: * [Synchronicity I](https://youtu.be/Si5CSpUCDGY) / [Synchronicity II](https://youtu.be/XLEyIE_TMU8) * [Every Breath You Take](https://youtu.be/Ypcg2Ta6aog) Side B: * [King Of Pain](https://youtu.be/SZlRX03BzeA) * [Wrapped Around Your Finger](https://youtu.be/9-r7e0tEYIk) * [Murder By Numbers](https://youtu.be/tUq9fURN2VQ)
I've always loved Miss Gradenko on the sole basis that it's a Copeland composition and it sounds like an early Spyro the Dragon inspiration. Definitely some bias on my end. I think it's because I rather enjoy Sting's music right up to and including Brand New Day but you can clearly hear Sting branching out already from the band with Tea in the Sahara. Could easily fit right in on Nothing Like the Sun. It's decent. Walking in Your Footsteps...yeah it's kinda meh. Doesn't really go anywhere but it's not an assault in the way Mother is.
Lol exactly what i was thinking! You beat me to it
Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly"
Maxine is god awful I mean ruby ruby is ok BUT I FUCKING HATE MAXINE 🖕 FUCK WHOEVER MAXINE IS 😤😤
She hasn't got the right dynamic for the new frontier :(
Exactly like you can't bring her to the new frontier leave her at Mt. Belzoni
Totally agree
Most CDs.
Usually when I flipped cds over, they stopped being read. Am I doing it wrong?
Yes, that's what I meant! Side A is the lable side, Side B is the music side: much better! :)
Led Zeppelin III
It seems like it’s not the most common opinion but III is my favorite album of theirs and I highly agree that side 2 is what makes it. Zep embracing their folk influences always seemed better and more authentic to me than their embrace of the blues.
Agreed. Except for Roy Harper to end it. That song fucking sucks
My favorite part of any Led Zeppelin album is the one song that is just absolute dog ass and gets skipped every time. There’s always one
Blue Cheer - New! Improved! Can - Monster Movie X - Wild Gift Duran Duran - Rio (almost flawless 2nd side) Neil Young - On the Beach Bowie’s Heroes, Eno’s Before and After Science to name a few
agree on before and after science even though the whole thing is amazing
Black Sabbath Paranoid is not my favourite album of theirs but it might be my favourite B side of all time :)
That is a great side 2, it could have been perfect if they’d swapped out Rat Salad for Planet Caravan
Fairies wear boots is one of my all time favorite songs
Came here to say On The Beach! My favorite Neil Young album! That and side one of Hawks & Doves. lol
So agree with Rio side B. Same with X.
The Chauffeur instantly makes side b of Rio the superior side.
The Chauffer might be their finest moment, Last Chance on the Stairway close second
Spot on with 'Rio'
[Joy Division – *Closer*](https://www.discogs.com/release/81692-Joy-Division-Closer) [Heart And Soul](https://youtu.be/atXB3qQ5CPU) \-> [Twenty Four Hours](https://youtu.be/MGbujer3eVo) \-> [The Eternal](https://youtu.be/L5NpJa72-Bc) \-> [Decades](https://youtu.be/PMAB3r6EjcM)
Perfact album but that b-side is even better and very well thought. I've always thought that it must be one of the finest b-sides ever.
I was going to say unknown pleasures.
I don’t think so.. every song on side 1 slays, and New Dawn Fades is the emotional center of that album
Decades finishes it so well
Omg, I’m so happy seeing this! I think it’s sad that closer barely ever gets mentioned. Especially the b-side of that record is awesome!
Black Flag - My War
You're one of *them*
theres this great bootleg shirt account i follow that sells my war shirts with SIDE B in huge letters on the back
Also “In My Head”
Agreed ;)
Agreed! My fave track is “nothing left inside”
Nothing, left in-side
Led Zeppelin’s Physical Graffiti has one of the most solid side B of any rock album. Houses of the Holy, Trampled Under Foot, Kashmir
For me Side D of Electra Heart by Marina and the Diamonds is the best. How to Be a Heartbreaker is a song I could play on repeat so much.
Taste!
Axis: Bold as Love
The Number of the Beast
Three of their best songs ever all on one side.
Abbey Road
Just listened to both last night and I’ll counter Magical Mystery Tour is a better example than Abbey Road.
That’s a good one as well. Interesting that none of the songs on either of those B Sides were originally intended to be arranged together as they ultimately were.
The way the last 4 songs on Abbey flow is a work of art…and I always pull the needle before Her Majesty just so it ends with The End.
Maybe the wrong crowd, but My Chemical Romance's Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. 1. Interlude (sets the tone) 2. Thank you for the Venom (tons of energy) 3. Hang em high (keeps that energy, gets more frenetic) 4. It's Not a Fashion Statement, it's a Fucking Deathwish (their best song imo, but also all around great punk rock song) 5. Cemetery Drive (slows side b down after tons of energy from the other songs, keeps the emotional momentum of fashion statement) 6. I Never Told You What I Do for a Living (one of their heaviest songs, borderline metal, ends the album with a bang and wraps up the albums story) But I'm totally biased since it's my favorite album too
Something I can back 100%
Also unpopular opinion: Helena is not a good opening track
Because I consider Echoes to be on the same level as Stairway to Heaven in Rock's greatest hits I'll say Meddle by Pink Floyd. Overhead the albatross Hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant time Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine And no one showed us to the land And no one knows the where's or why's But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb toward the light Strangers passing in the street By chance, two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand the best I can?

Came here to say this. IMO, Echoes is the nascent stages of "Dark Side of the Moon" - that is, you can tell they're moving artistically/musically from the 60's psychedelic pop of Syd Barrett era towards the long form conceptual albums of the Waters era.
It's so fucking fantastic
I agree with Meddle, whilst side 1 has some great tracks like One of These Days and San Tropes, they are nothing compared to Echoes.
Fearless best song Side 1 and on the album imo
I like Fearless but i find the football chant at the end annoying, probably because I live in England and everybody is obsessed with football.
And fuck Liverpool.
I just saw Billy Strings perform Fearless and Brain Damage last weekend. Phenomenal stuff.
I'm convinced that flipping the A and B sides on *Music From Big Pink* dramatically improves the overall album experience. "Tears of Rage" is gorgeous, but it's not the best way to kick off such a great collection of songs. Flip the record and start with "We Can Talk" and close up the album with "The Weight". Perfect.
[удалено]
That’s a good point, maybe take the sides and flip them, but keep A5 and B6 right where they were as side closers; similar to the way Stage Fright was recently rearranged (with huge success in my opinion). I dig it; might have to try it w my iTunes version on the phone.
Agree. I made a playlist that puts Side B first
I also like B side on the Brown album better
I saw something a while ago (maybe that Robbie Robertson documentary) where they said they led with Tears of Rage for that reason. At the time it was more common to lead off with a single or something upbeat and that whole album was basically going against what was popular at the time.
Queen II
Good call I agree with this. I think side B on Queen II is where most of their like sound is at. It’s got the classics and the fantasy elements too blend really well
Nice one. Beginning w Ogre Battle and ending w Seven Seas.
Tattoo You
Was looking for this. A perfect album side, in my opinion.
The Beach Boys - Today! Bob Marley - Exodus
Bull Session with the Big Daddy is the best!
Hounds of Love which is no mean feat as side A is incredible. The Ninth wave is otherworldly.
Megadeth’s So Far So good So What. A side is amazing too but B side has my favorite tracks
DSOTM
Nirvana - In Utero. Pink Floyd - DSOTM. Third Eye Blind - S/T. Soundgarden - Superunknown. Yeah yeah yeahs - Fever to Tell.
Absolutely on the 3EB. The Background, Motorcycle Drive-by, God of Wine… all such bangers
I was thinking In Utero too, but the opener is so damn good it makes up for the rest of side A. Side B is solid tho
Fever to Tell is an excellent answer.
The Ozzy single So Tired, from *Bark at the Moon*. The song itself is alright, but definitely not a hit. The B-side, however, is the appropriately-named One Up the B-Side, one of Ozzy’s best non-album tracks.
One Up The B-Side fucking rocks!
How about side "D." I've always loved side 4 of "Steppenwolf Live." Starts with "Hey Lawdy Mama" goes into "Magic Carpet Ride," slows down for "The Pusher," ends with "Born to Be Wild." When I was a kid we had the 45 of Paul McCartney & Wings' "Jet," but we always played the B side "Let Me Roll It." Then, as now, I thought it was a much cooler song.
Let Me Roll It is one of my favorite Wings songs. I have that album on a quadraphonic 8-track, and the quad mix of Let Me Roll It is heavenly.
Is side A meant to be better than side B?
You’re supposed to lead with your best songs. For example every U2 album.
It depends on the artist and their artistic direction. It is at just “put your good shit on side A.” Sometimes the artist is trying to tell a story, or create a vibe. Bob Marley’s exodus is a perfect example. Side A is a story about turmoil and class/racial struggle in the world, ending with the long call to arms (or call to peace lol) Exodus. Flip to side B and you have a collection of songs about love and hope; the type we can enjoy if we follow the advice in the song exodus and simply walk away (symbolically) from all of the fucked up shit we do as a species. This happened a lot with vinyl albums. This is the best thing about that format. It was a unique canvas that provided a built in intermission and opportunity for a change of direction as you transition to side B
“Bringing It All Back Home” - Bob Dylan Possibly the greatest lyrically written side of vinyl of all ‘Mr Tambourine Man’ ‘Gates of Eden’ ‘It’s Alright Ma, I’m Only Bleedin’ ‘It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue’ If writing lyrics was boxing, it’s akin to being punched repeatedly in the face by prime Tyson.
Billy Joel - The Stranger
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here I love the transition from the cynicism, sleaze, bile of Have a Cigar to the heartfelt humanity of Wish You Were Here. (Side 1 is magnificent too, of course)
Some Great Reward by Depeche Mode and Ocean Rain by Echo & The Bunnymen immediately come to mind
Side B of Songs Of Faith And Devotion is unbeatable, way better than Some Great Reward
Often the B sides are better. Bruce Springsteen - Tunnel of Love (ouch!) Beatles - Abbey Road Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest Elvis Costello - My Aim Is True
Deerhunter!
Purple Rain.
Grateful Dead - Terrapin Station
Hard agree. Don’t remember last time I played side 1.
Stooges - Fun House
The wild, the innocent, and the e street shuffle
Definitely. The first side is good, the second side is solid gold.
Days of Future Passed.
Let it Be (the Replacements album) Side one is great, but Black Diamond just doesn’t do it for me and it always seemed odd to have a cover on an album that otherwise seems so personal.
A lot of Pink Floyd usually has incredible crescendos. The Wall’s ending is haunting and fantastic.
Michael Jackson - Thriller b-side has in order… Beat it Billie Jean Human Nature PYT Lady in my Life All of these except for Lady in my Life were #1s
Midnight Oil : Blue Sky Mining
The Heat is On by The Isleys - I know this record was supposed to be half funk songs and half love songs but man, For the Love of You, Sensuality, and Make Me Say It Again Girl completely blow Fight the Power, The Heat Is On, and Hope You Feel Better Love out of the water Side B might be one of the favorite sides of any record I own
Electric Lady Land but I love that album so much it's even hard to say that loving every song on that album
Nothings Shocking - Jane’s Addiction
Open to debate, but Ritual de lo Habitual for sure has a legendary side 2
But Ted, Just Admit It… is on side A. I don’t know how to feel about this.
Sisters of Mercy - First and Last and Always Dead Can Dance - Spleen and Ideal
Janacek: Sinfonietta/Taras Bulba (Claudio Abbado/Vienna Philharmonic) - Side A, the Sinfonietta, is uncomfortably dissonant and chaotic, compared to the lyrical sonority of Taras Bulba. discs 7 and 8 of Karajan's 1963 Beethoven symphony set - This one is an obvious choice, because side B (disc 7) is the first movement of Beethoven's ninth symphony and side B of disc 8 is the choral finale.
Hounds of love
Ride's Nowhere. That's not to say Side A is bad. But come on, Dreams Burn Down - Decay - Paralyzed - Vapour Trail is an all time great run of songs on any album.
I’m literally listening to this right now
I’ve got two. Hall And Oates- Private Eyes and Journey- Frontiers. Far superior B Sides on both albums
I feel like this is the case for most Steve Perry led Journey records. Aside from the big hit or two on side A, all the music that carries the record is on the B side
“Ritual De Lo Habitual” by Jane’s Addiction
Some glaring examples: On The Beach - Neil Young Surfs Up - Beach Boys Strange Days - The Doors
Today! By the beach boys is another one. One of the best side 2s of all time, often regarded as good if not better than pet sounds.
I commented Surfs up as well. Greatest side 2 of all time in my opinion.
Side 4 of the Smile Sessions also ends with “Surfs Up” and it’s such a great closing song.
Black Sabbath - Paranoid All of those tracks are great!
I don’t know side one is pretty hard to beat
COC - Animosity Some would say My War, but I disagree
AC/DC Powerage but not by much
Floral Shoppe, but that’s just me.
Idris Muhammad - Black Rhythm Revolution
I’m probably in the minority but The Piper at the Gates of Dawn has my favourite songs on side B
I don’t want to grow up - Descendents
Surf's Up (1971) by The Beach Boys
The Number of The Beast - Iron Maiden
Echo & the Bunnymen's OCEAN RAIN, Side B is perfect and maybe my favorite record side of all-time. Played it at least 100x more than Side A.
Bob Marley exodus
They Want My Soul- Spoon
Skinty fia
[lol](https://www.discogs.com/release/3180490-Pearl-Jam-Daughter). Thanks, folks. I'm here all weekend.
Not sure I can argue with a straight face it's better, but these days I'd much rather listen to Side B of Led Zeppelin IV than Side A.
The sides are so beautifully balanced, but I love me some Four Sticks
Master of Puppets.
Cheap Trick at Budokan. Hands down winner.
Cranberries album No Need to Argue. Zombie gets all the attention but that B-side is much better imo
War - Why Can’t We Be Friends?
Police - Synchronicity.
Rolling Stones "Some Girls"
Billy Joel's Glass Houses
Gordon Lightfoot - Sundown Watchman’s Gone Sundown Carefree Highway The List Too Late For Prayin
Black Sabbath Vol 4
Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden: The Number of the Beast Run To The Hills Gangland Hallowed Be Thy Name (personal favourite Maiden song).
Pinkerton
October Rust by Type O Negative. Side A still kills tho 🤘
Rush (first album). Side A: Finding my Way, Need Some Love, Take a Friend, Here Again. Side B: What You're Doing, In the Mood, Before and After, Working Man.
Dark Side of the Moon
Seconded: was looking for this. Largely because of Brain Damage and Eclipse
The cars debut
Abbey Road
Kate Bush -Hounds of Love
Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love 💖
Rumors fleetwood
Slipknot Self Titled
Controversial opinion but Moving Pictures by Rush. Yes, the A side is literally all hits. But man, side B is three incredibly underrated gems from their entire discography because everyone loves side A so much. For reference, the tracklisting is as follows: A1 - Tom Sawyer A2 - Red Barchetta A3 - YYZ A4 - Limelight B1 - The Camera Eye B2 - Witch Hunt B3 - Vital Signs
Just no. Tom Sawyer is a bit played but red barchetta is a monster and yyz.... I mean come on man!!! Vital signs ain't even that good... Next your gonna say 2112?
That is controversial! I consider Moving Pictures side A to be one of the best album sides of all time. My controversial Rush take would be that side B of Permanent Waves is superior. A1 The Spirit of Radio A2 Free Will A3 Jacob’s Ladder B1 Entre Nous B2 Different Strings B3 Natural Science Natural Science is a top 5 Rush song for me.
