Fools Gold was a double A side, but you could take your pick of a lot of their singles. Mersey Paradise being one of the best.

Also Belle & Sebastian's Meat and Potatoes. (Another band with a lot of good b-sides/e.p.s)

Ian Dury - There ain't half been some clever b*stards
Gloria Gaynor - I will survive

Please, Please Let me get what I want... It was actually a B-Side! Hatful of Hollow has turned from an assortment of sessions b sides and rarities into a classic album over the course of time...

John Lennon - Working Class Hero (B-Side to Imagine)

Stone Roses - Standing Here, Mersey Paradise, Going Down, Somethings Burning, Where Angels Play (amazingly unreleased until Silvertone put it out as a B-Side to the unauthorised release of Waterfall as a cash-in single in 1991).

Oasis (Not mentioned yet) - The Masterplan, Stay Young, Do you Wanna be a Spaceman, Talk Tonight, Its Better People................Noel was too prolific for his own good in the early days.

Tended never to buy singles. Oasis had some class ones. So good that The Masterplan album was far better than most of their later ones... Acquiesece a standout... Think Feeder's Just A Day started out as a b-side...

Sad Song - Oasis
Sad Song was an album track on the vinyl version of definitely maybe. Fade Away was always my favourite Oasis b side. The proper version, not the poncy Help one.

one more e sligofan.

The best of the Oasis b-sides by quite a bit is Listen Up.
I played it for my Oasis-hating girlfriend a while back telling her that they've a new album like the first two and she was like "Feck, that's what they're good at alright."
If only.
Too prolific for his own good is bang on the money.
