"Best B-Sides"

What band do you think writes the best B-sides? My personal favourite is Blur. Their B-sides are always a bit more experimental - especially around the time they released 'Blur'. 'Get out of Cities', 'Polished Stone' and 'Swallows in the Heatwave' are three of my favourte songs and they all came from singles off 'Blur'. Oasis make B-sides of the same quality as their A-sides, but I was young then and I didn't know better. Sometimes remixes are quite good, but not if it's some crappy garage tune with about 6 different versions stuck on the back of it.

Half The World Away anyone? One of my favourite songs. It's an Oasis B-side.

Id say the B-Side to Feeder - Just a day, Can't Stand Losing You or the B-Side to Seven days in the sun, Home For Summer there all good

Yeah, SFA do too. Is 'Rings Around...' worth getting?

Listening to it now... yeah you should... not amazing but good for the occasional listen.

I saw him in a one piece salmon pink dungaree/cycling shorts combo at reading festival.

I guess on first listen they could sound typical metal.
And if it's the video with them in, it's for Hush.
Which is a full-on rawk track.

Monkey, I would recommend getting a copy of Undertow and/or Aenima to see just how far ahead of rock Tool are.
Seriously, they leave 99% of other rock bands in the dust.

And the singer likes to dress as a woman.
Or he wears little boxers and bends about onstage.

I took offence too.

Then again, Stinkfist has a Cawk Rawk twang to it I suppose

Cawk Rawk?
You sure about that?

Hmm.. which video may that be..? To my knowledge there is only 1 video they feature in and that was in the early 90's.

cawk rawk?

www.toolband.com for the uninitiated

I saw a Tool music video the other day. They looked like the stereotypical 80s cawk-rawk band.

Sometimes that band scare me too much...
