Underated as they are on the "b-side" but sometimes treasures are hiding there
I didnt put any sisters stuff for the usual reason, they are all top.

1 Siouxsie and the banshees : something blue (the passenger 12")
how this ended up here is just a mystery, should be on the peepshow
lp just before "rapsody".
2. New model army : modern times(here comes the war ep)
totaly breathtaking... (but nma have so many fine b-sides)
3. Xymox : twisted (phoenix of my heart 7")
the a-side is absolutely crap but this a pop masterpiece.
4. Carter usm : rent (rubbish 12")
one of the best covers e v e r
5.Depeche mode : ice machine (new life 7")
better than anything else they did at that time, and theres a fine live
version on the 12" of blashemous rumours.

'trisha toyota' by The Dickies always made me smile.

Dead Souls was a B-side too.

Hypnotized by the Spacemen was almost a B side. Sonic wanted his track on the A side, but nobody else was having any of it. Now that would have been a killer B side if so.

not at all. I was going to mention Like A Hurricane but was confused as to whether it was a B side or not.
