As there's a thread for favourite album tracks, I was just wondering what everyone's favourite B-Sides were? These are a few of mine:

Girls Aloud - Memory Of You, She, Crazy Fool, Nobody But You, I Don't Really Hate You
Sugababes - Someone In My Bed
Frank - Mr Beautiful
The Saturdays - Unofficial, Flashback, Golden Rules, I Can't Wait
Lily Allen - Cheryl Tweedy, Fag Hag, Kabul Shit
Rachel Stevens - Shoulda Thought Of That, Never Go Back

The standard response to any thread about B sides.
Oasis put every band of the last 30 years to shame (apart from maybe the smiths) in that department.

Thats the one I came into this thread to post.

Most bands won't record a song that good in their whole careers.

I'll post more tomorrow as I'll be more awake but the first song that comes to my mind is Cheryl Cole- Didn't I. It's a ballad, and about a million times better than Don't Talk About This Love

I agree! All of her b-sides are pretty amazing. It baffles me as to why they weren't put on the album over some of the dross that's on there.

Also, my favourite B-Sides:

Leona Lewis - Heartbeat, Let It Rain

Dr Love, the B side to The House that Jack Built from Tracie. It's on the cd version of Far from the Hurting Kind, which was finally released on cd in July.
