How Soon Is Now?
Bigmouth Strikes Again
Panic
Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me
This Charming Man
That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore
The Boy With The Thorn In His Side
Hand In Glove
Shoplifter's Of the World Unite
Girlfriend In A Coma
What Difference Does It Make?
William It Was Really Nothing
Ask
Sheila Take A Bow
Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
Shakespeare's Sister
I Started Something I Couldn't Finish
 
1- William it was really nothing
2- How soon is now
3- That joke isn't funny anymore
4- Bigmouth strikes again
5- Shoplifters of the world unite

Like ranking things but my phone won't let me type so I think they'd be my top 5.
 
Are the b-sides taken into consideration? Or just the a-sides?
