I want to post some b-sides, alot of them are fantastic, some are shoddy, but lets not think about those.
got this from google images if you want to know
anyway, to start off, there’s this, the Arctic Monkeys covering The Little Flames, it appeared on the “Leave Before The Lights Come On” single, I have to say it betters the original effort, even though it was a great song.
Arctic Monkeys – Put Your Dukes Up, John
Kings of Leon have done some great b-sides in the past, but this is my favourite one, appeared on the “On Call” single in 2007, it’s a great song which unlike the album, Because of The Times, to me really harked back to their previous work.
Kings of Leon – My Third House
Next up is Thom Yorke, he only released one single from his ‘06 solo debut “The Eraser” but it was a good one, Harrowdown Hill is arguably the best song on that album. It came with one b-side, which you’ll find below
Thom Yorke – The Drunkk Machine
The Libertines did this great b-side I heard recently, from the “Can’t Stand Me Now” single, it strikes out quite bold, its a very good song, pretty much album worthy in my opinion
The Libertines – Never Never
Finally, to round up, Franz Ferdinand delivered this on the single, “Do You Want To”, its one of my favourite b-sides ever too, i just love the track.
Franz Ferdinand – Your Diary

Never Never is definitely an amazing track. The arctic monkeys one I was never that keen on. Never heard of the franz ferdinand one, so thanks for that =D

All the Arcrtic Monkeys’ b-sides are great, but this one’s a recurring favourite of mines. (:

Ai Never Never Never is a proper tune.
Bought ‘Charming Man’ by some band called ‘Raphaels’ a few months back… probably the best/funniest b-side ever.
