Strawberry Fileds

Ice hockey hair (a lost classic)

Good Vibrations

Carwash hair: well it was on a later version of an album, ( Yerself is Steam a la Whatever and Definetely Maybe )

I know there are millions more..but me head hurts.

Tom Verlaine
Remember what it is that you love

Nobody's twisting your arm & Why are you being so reasonable now? by The Wedding Present

Give it a day by Pavement

Ceremony & Temptation by New Order

My father my king by mogwai

and i totally agree with Ice Hockey Hair and From the bench at Belvidere

That's all for now....

ice hockey hair and popscene are great as well, that's true
and rancid's endrina, don't know if that's on any of their albums though
and of course better living through reckless experimentation

my top 5 would probably be:
Whatever – Oasis
Corporation Man
Ice Hockey Hair – Super Furry Animals
Fool’s Gold – The Stone Roses
Motown Junk – Manic Street Preachers

and the only others that spring to mind are:
Deadweight – Beck
Marblehead Johnson – The Bluetones
Are You Blue Or Are You Blind? – The Bluetones
From The Bench At Belvidere
Better Living Through Reckless Experimentation
Flying – Cast
Machismo – Gomez
Suicide Alley – Manic Street Preachers
The Masses Against The Classes – Manic Street Preachers
Closed For Business – Mansun
Yesterday Today – Ocean Colour Scene
Pop Is Dead – Radiohead
Stay Together – Suede


although some have appeared, or since appeared on soundtracks and best ofs. Or on Japanese / Australian (etc.) releases of UK albums, as in the Manics' 'Masses Against The Classes'


not gonna even try working out which Beatles tracks weren't on (proper) albums!

er, although Strawberry Fields Forever and Hey Jude do stand out...

actually, feck... those two songs alone are better than most bands' whole career!

oh, started off thinking of good ones, and somehow, the list morphed into one of A-sides that weren't on albums, whatever the quality of them. sorry!

I think most of Radiohead's b-sides are superior to POP IS DEAD.

Boo Radleys - From The Bench At Belvidere
bravecaptain - BLTRE / Corporation Man / Captain America
Super Furry Animals - Ice Hockey Hair
Suede - Stay Together
Feeder - Just A Day
Travis - Coming Around
Smashing Pumpkins - The End Is The Beginning Is The End
Garbage - The World Is Not Enough

(Actually those last two were cheats because they were on movie soundtracks to "Batman And Robin" and "The World Is Not Enough" respectively)

And then there's those singles that were never on the band's actual albums but featured on their "Greatest Hits", "Best Of" or "Singles" CD's.

Manics - Masses Against The Classes
Carter USM - Born On The 5th Of November
Smashing Pumpkins - Untitled
Ash - Envy

"i love MTV, i love it when they're shittin' on me." William is fucking Shakespeare! Its on 'hate rock 'n' roll, which is somewhere between a single and an album. they marketed it as an ep, but its got like 12 songs on it. also see '' SNAKEDRIVER " and.....

1) joy division - love will tear us apart, the only one i'll credit numerically
happy mondays - hallelujah
U2 - hold me thrill me blah blah blah
neil young - winterlong
smiths - panic, ask, 'shoplifters of the...'
clash - bankrobber
aphex twin - come to daddy, donkey rhubarb
sex pistols - no fun (Iggy!)
smashing pumpkins - eye, end is the blah blah blah (if we're not counting 'best of's' I'm not counting compilations)
cure - wrong number

what an excellent thread good people....

ignoring the fact that some are on compilations ('cos that don't count) here's mine.... so far.

A House - Slang
Aphex Twin - Windowlicker
Beck - Deadweight
Boards Of Canada - Imagine A Beautiful Place In The Country
Boo's - Bench At...
Billy Bragg - The Boy Done Good
Brave Captain - Better Living Through...
Carter USM - Rubbish,
Bloodsport For All
Embassy - Box Star AM
Family Cat - Tom Verlaine,
A Place Called Home
Fellacy + Fusion - The Groundbreaker
Harvey's Rabbit - Is This What You Call Change?
Leftfield - Not Fogotten
Madness - Sun & The Rain,
Wings Of A Dove
Mansun - Take It Easy (their best song by miles and miles)
Massive Attack/Mos Def - I Against I
My Bloody Valentine - Swallow
Orb - Belfast (Wasted Vocal)
New Order/England - World In Motion
Popguns - Crazy (though its fabtastic b-side Gesture is better still)
Prefab Sprout - Lions In My Own Garden (thought its fabtastic b-side Walk On is better still... I sense a thread developing here!)
Super Furries - The Man Don't Give A Fuck (my fave single ever),
Ice Hockey Hair
Underworld - Born Slippy
The Undertones - You've Got My Number

and there'll be more if my memory can get deep enough.
