New Wave Outpost Forum

Okay, same rules as all the other games. Eliminate one song at a time until there's one left.

Here's a list of songs that made their original appearance as a B-side. There are thousands of good ones out there, but I tried to limit this list to those songs that are exceptionally well-loved or received some level of radio play. I also avoided listing double A-sides (i.e. Warm Leatherette/T.V.O.D., Should I Stay or Should I Go/Straight to Hell, or Blasphemous Rumours/Somebody). I know this list is relatively short, so if there are any songs you want to add, feel free to append it to what's already there.

Is that a B-side? I did some Googling and it looks like (I could be wrong) it was a single release.

If anyone has any more suggestions to beef up the list, go ahead and let them fly.

U gotta go: 27. U2 – Dancing Barefoot!
