Albums Where The Best Song is a B-Side That Didn't Even Make It Onto the Album

I'll do you one better.
Suede's b-sides were released as a compilation and that compilation I feel sometimes is their best album....

I don't think I'd be willing to go that far, though this compilation does contain a song I think is one of the band's best, and quite possibly better than anything on the debut...

Prince's 1999-Irresistible Bitch




mmm well either way it's a damn good b-side

[nosurprises12]

^ Love that song. The quality of many of Prince's b-sides is simply amazing: "Hello," "Gotta Stop (Messin' About)," "Girl," "Scarlet Pussy," and "She's Always in My Hair," not to mention all the songs he wrote which are performed by other artists.

Underworld - Rez

[santasutt]

Let it Be

take your pick, "Don't Let Me Down" or "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)"

Are you kidding? The former a masterpiece and the latter a hallucinogen-fueled throwaway

Set The Ray To Jerry - Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie

id say its Aeroplane Flies High (turns left looks right)

[Miroir Noir]

Slightly modified version of this thread: Albums Where the Released B-Sides Should Have Replaced Weak Tracks on the Actual Album:

The Unforgettable Fire. "Love Comes Tumbling" and "The Three Sunrises" > some of the formless Eno-y stuff on side two of the album.
