I'm certain that we've done this before, but a search for "B-Sides" only yielded a ton of stuff, so... which ones are your favorites/notables?

I've got:
Beatles - "Rain"
Bowie - "Bombers"

Maybe this'll be a new tenner idea... each of us compile our top 10 B-sides, for a comprehensive Obner favorite B-side collection.

Yeah, I barely know what bands release as singles anymore.

But, "Dead Letter Office" shows that REM knew how to have fun with the B-side.

I picked up a FnM best of & this was on it. They did a pretty meaty job of covering the old Bee Gees tune. Funny stuff.
