B-Side recommendations

Sinfonia

B-Sides, songs made for soundtracks, basically gems that don't end up on albums for whatever reason, though they may be better than songs included on albums! Thought it'd be a good idea for a thread as they're not often heard, and I usually only seem to go looking for them once I've exhausted an artists albums

Some of my favourites would be:

Kings of Leon - Head to Toe (Four Kicks B-Side)
Led Zeppelin - Hey Hey What Can I Do (not sure)
Oasis - Round Are Way (Wonderwall B-Side)
Strokes - Hawaii (Juicebox B-Side)
Radiohead - Paperbag Writer (There There B-Side)
Radiohead - Talk Show Host (Romeo & Juliet ST)
Radiohead - True Love Waits (On the I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings album, but not on any studio album)
Nirvana - D7 (don't know)
Arcade Fire - Cold Wind (Six Feet Under ST)
Sigur Rós - Ba Ba/Ti Ki/Di Do (this is a thing they did for a ballet show or something, it's fookin amazing anyway)


C'mon everybody, get yer recommendations out!

Schlemm

Sigur Ros - O Fridur, on the Sagleplour single (scuse my spelling); I wish they'd put it on Takk it would've made a great contribution to the album.

Radiohead - How can you be Sure, on the Fake Plastic Trees single. Not a brilliant song by any means, but it's good nonetheless. (Talk Show Host was also featured as the B-side on the Street Spirit single by the by!)

Everclear - Local God, on the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack is also good.

Early Oasis b-sides were nearly all gems. Rocking Chair (b-side of Roll With It), The Masterplan (b-side of Wonderwall), Half The World Away (b-side of Whatever)... the list goes on.
