I happen to preffer B-Sides to the main single, I don;t know why I just do! Anyway, what is your favourite B-Side?

The Saturdays are good at B-Sides, if they released an album with all of their B-Sides on, I'd buy it

I've got absolutely loads of favourite B-sides, but I think my top ten would be:

1. Girls Aloud - Memory Of You
2. The Saturdays - Flashback
3. Nicola Roberts - Disco Blisters & A Comedown
4. Siobhan Donaghy - Don't Take Me Back
5. The Saturdays - Ready To Rise
6. Sugababes - Disturbed
7. Girls Aloud - She
8. Nicola Roberts - Fix Me
9. Girls Can't Catch - Love Shy
10. Diana Vickers - Cold Kiss

They all would have made amazing singles.

Kylie Minogue - Tightrope is an epic B-Side!!!

Olly Murs consistently delivers a quality B-Side every time! One of the few artists these days who does!

Kylie, Pet Shop Boys and Garbage all provide pretty much consistently good b-sides.

I Didn't Get Where I Am Today is one of the best PSB tracks from the last decade

Biffy Clyro - They do some chuffing amazing B-Sides. Not one of them I don't like, infact some of their B-Side material is better than stuff that made it on to their 5 studio albums imo.

Oasis too have some fantastic B-Sides. It always annoys me for some reason when someone claims to be a fan of theirs and when I ask for their favourite song(s) by Oasis they always go for the popular, well known ones (Wonderwall for example). They may not have been popular with everyone and they may not have produced studio albums as good as Definately, Maybe and (What's The Story) Morning Glory after the '90's but they do have some amazing tunes and there is SO much more to them than just Wonderwall...
