You know a band is great when their B-sides are better than most bands A-sides, and this is the case with The Smiths 'I mean, c'mon, Half a Person is one of the greatest songs ever written.' Is there any other group who has a B-sides catalog that rivals The Smiths? I love most of the Oasis B-sides, but even those can't really compete.

I am more fond of the early Suede b-sides than the Smiths. Even Morrissey himself covered Suede's "Insatible One".

yes, maybe one day they will be re-edited..... maybe maybe not 
Radiohead? Talk Show Host?
They are all instrumentals. Does this mean something?
Yes. It's called trolling.

It should surprise nobody that I can quote many, many Beatles non-album b-sides that are among their best songs. To wit:
* "I'll Get You" ("She Loves You")
* "This Boy" ("I Want to Hold Your Hand")
* "She's a Woman" ("I Feel Fine")
* "Yes it Is" ("Ticket to Ride")
* "I'm Down" ("Help!")
* "The Inner Light" ("Lady Madonna")
* "Revolution" ("Hey Jude")
* "Don't Let Me Down" ("Get Back")
I'm not even counting the singles where both sides were considered so strong that they were released as double A-sides: "Day Tripper"/"We Can Work it Out", "Paperback Writer"/"Rain", "Yellow Submarine"/"Eleanor Rigby", "Strawberry Fields Forever"/"Penny Lane."
Even if you're not a Beatles fan, odds are you've heard most of these b-sides (except "The Inner Light"), but trust me on this
Tori Amos and Kate Bush have also had some magnificent b-sides.

Why would you say that? I am very sincere. Just because you may not appreciate them, doesn't invalidate my feelings.

On the other hand, you're on Moz solo and you're saying that your three favorite Smiths songs are ones that don't involve Moz. What's up with that? Or, as you said (one of my favorite expressions): WTF?
