A B-side

The Special A.K.A. - Skinhead Symphony

Actually three songs in one. When the crowd gets up on stage for Skinhead Moonstomp (about 4 mins in)... Well, that could've been me up there. Infectious energy.

Day 3: A song that is an album title track

Since @BrendaD stole my pick, why not go with another flawless double album instead

Day 4: A song that is unreleased or B-side

I'm sorry... what is this "B-side" term referring to? Do we turn our phones over and it plays a different song?

*sigh* Let me try to figure out (being a young woman) what this could possibly mean..

Please see previous gif. Thank you.

Day 4: A song that is unreleased or B-side

This song was the song that opened my eyes to The Smiths. It remains my favorite track to this day and I was astounded when I learned it was released as a B side because "it didn't sound like the Smiths".

Day 4: A song that is a B side

I think this was a b side of a recent single as well as an album bonus song for Japan. I guess there's a strong market for physical media there because they seem to get extra goodies pretty regularly.

I was going to pick a B side by The Killers but they released an album full of them so maybe it wouldn't count anymore.

Måneskin - Touch Me

Day 4: A song that is a B side

B side of Jeremy. Epic song in its own right. PJ seem to have blocked a lot of their songs from being shared, so had to use a random live cut.

Day 4: A song that is unreleased or B-side

Everyone knows My Sharona. It’s a classic song - hard not to love. Years ago, I bought a jukebox and started hoarding 7” slabs o wax.

I got this one, but I think my wife and I like the B Side more! It’s a great song in its own right, IMO. Classic late 70s power pop. I’ve had the album since I was a kid, one of my first purchases. (Hacketstown Mall).

But never realized this was the B side till I got the single.

The Knack - Let Me Out

Day 4: A song that is unreleased or B-side

Released as a B-side in 1964 -- one of the first songs they ever recorded before they began work on their 1st album

Day 3: an album title track

This whole album has been on repeat since it came out but I especially adore this song. There's a vulnerability to the lyrics that just resonates with me.

It’s a particularly beautiful song. Even by her own standards.

Day 4: A song that is unreleased or B-side

This was released as the b-side of "I Get Around"... I like it so much more. My mom loved the Beach Boys and went to one of their concerts when she was younger. It makes me wish I had known her then.

Jamiroquai's Space Cowboy album is pure perfection, or, it could have been. Shorty after the album dropped, they released an EP with different mixes of the title track, and Stoned Again is apparently the original version. I'm not sure why they went with the version that ended up on the album when this one is just.... chefs kiss

Several minutes longer (sorry @SalaciousMonkey22), with a different baseline and a much different feel to Jay's vocals. Soooo mellow

Jamiroquai - Space Cowboy (Stoned Again)

Thanks for the heads up so I didn’t listen

Coincidentally, they recently released an action figure of this guy. I have exactly no idea why.
