When B-Sides are better than the single

Do any of you have a favorite B-Side, that out-shines the single ? For me it's " Halo " by The Cure. ( B-Side to Friday I'm In Love )

Practically any b-side by the Wildhearts and the Hellacopters. I think it's a sign of a great band if they can write strong b-sides.

"Singular Girl" from the Old 97's was released on a bonus ep that came with initial pressings of Satellite Rides. It's one of my favorite songs they've ever done.

"Rain" is my favorite Beatles song.

Also "Strawberry Fields Forever" is far more engaging and superior to "Penny Lane." Although that single was billed as a "double A-side," it was Paul's song that more or less considered the real "A" and received more airplay.

17 DAYS was nearly as good as WHEN DOVES CRY, when it first released as a single.

Yellow Ledbetter gets my vote as well. It's in my top 3 for favorite Pearl Jam songs too.
