B-Sides that should have been singles

[Audio Karate]

What B-Sides do you think would have rather deserved being a single or being featured on an album as a regular track?

I think Blink 182's "Don't Tell Me That It's Over", "Time To Break Up" and "What Went Wrong" should have been regular tracks instead of bonus tracks, which they were on the various "Take Off Your Pants And Jacket" editions, especially "What Went Wrong" is pretty decent.

[Stacy Jones]

You're right What Went Wrong is a great track

[FishAlotNBePunk]

no blink 182 song written after 1999 was good.

[nofxer]

nofx-pump up the valuum
i mean come on it was the title track...it should have gone on

[therealhebm]

one of the few NOFX songs i really like is "lower", i think thats a b-side.

Those are some good B-Sides there.

NFG's "So Many Ways"
NFG continually releases quality b-sides, same with The Living End.

[Make Out Kid]

I love it when old threads are bumped.

"The Ballad of Sid Villanueva" from Tell All Your Friends

Wasn't "What It Is To Burn" (Finch) originally a b-side/bonus track then it got released as a single?

Why'd they use the demo version as the single?

i never really understood that whole ordeal either. especially because it was a bonus track later added, but it was the title track. hmmm

Can songs really have feelings?

TBS - Sleep and Brooklyn. These 2 tracks should have made it on the album. Sleep would have been their huge single if it was released. It has a really poppy sing-along quality to it.

Thursday - Jet Black New Year
Brand New - Demo 7

Brooklyn YES.

agree.

I love Saves The Day b-sides.

[MakeDamnSure]

Basically, every single TBS b-side should have been on the album. The only debatable one is "Sleep", which is poppy but an empty song.

I thought it was about drug use. Which I like because the melody is so damn poppy.

i don't think it would go anywhere as a single, sorry

Anyways, I felt it lacked substance, and I'd rather TBS pick a song that means something than one that means little. But that's just me. It was catchy.

I liked Brooklyn a lot.

[SingleDoubt]

Taking Back Sunday, "Follow the Format" is better than any song on WYWTB
Brand New, "Demo 7" and "Demo 4" could have been amazing as final versions

[matt_rawlings]

Cursive - The Bitter End

I think it is better than most songs off of 'Happy Hollow'

[IAPAI]

blink 182 - Not Now.. although it was released on greatest hits, it should have been on the S/T.

[Evolution Kid]

less than jake- negative sides to optimistic eyes from the iwtoc session

[Greg]

the only one that matters

Radio Adelaide by NFG

[JunkBondTrader]

hahaha i hate threads like this because 99% of the time people are just trying to name all the bsides they can think of.....demo 1 from the brand new demos would make a terrible fucking single. good song yes, but terrible single. people never answer the question.

[dontsneeze]

The Starting Line - Nights & Weekends
Fall Out Boy - Snitches And Talkers Get Stitches And Walkers
Saosin - Let Go Control

i think FUCT would have been a much stronger offering if it included both Snitches... and The Music or the Misery. both were great songs and probably better singles than A Little Less Sixteen Candles... IMO.
