Foreigner - Street Thunder
The "B" side to "I want to know what love is". One of my favourite rock instrumentals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyQpxRBtkJs

at the end of the seventies....
I remember after the Sex Pistols were done & dusted, PiL seemed to be the afterglow which was all well and good, but i recall the news came out midweek in NME or Sounds or some similar pulp news-sheet that Steve Jones & Paul Cook were to team up with a 'greaser' (who were then mortal enemies in counter-culture ) Andy Allan was to join them on Bass - This new band was to be called "The Professionals"
Great debut release on Virgin was Just Another Dream This is pure & simple rocked-up 12 bar blues (or whatever it is - I like it) the kind of sound if Status Quo were being jammed out by Cook & Jones, pure Pistols sound, the vibe you can feel when musicians are playing something they're enjoying. Back then as a (just) pre-teen , we didn't have our own record players & had to use the family gramophone or music-centre but the vibe was back in the room & we loved it. |

Along with some other bands who made it big in the 80s, Tears For Fears made some cracking experimental B sides. This one was from the breif period when Roland & Curt split.
One of two fine tracks on the flip side of "Break It Down Again", & written by Roland Orzabal (who had claimed the TFF name for his own) this track has more than a few echos of the Beatles

Raped and Freezin'
One of the first singles I ever bought was No More Mr. Nice Guy by Alice Cooper. That's an awesome song that was big on radio at the time. As a kid I knew that Alice offended a lot of people, but I didn't really know anything about his albums. It was amazing to me that a song titled Raped and Freezin' would even make it on the B-side. In this case it was the guy who gets raped, and it wasn't really involuntary anyway, so it amounts to a great B-side song that just happens to have a misleading and controversial title. My parents must have heard the song 100 times without ever catching on to the lyrics.

I believe the only single from Led Zeppelin III
Was "Immigrant Song." The B side was "Hey, Hey, What Can I Do" that for decades was only available on a 45 rpm single. Hey, Hey What Can I Do was probably one of the most played "B sides" ever in the states that was only a B side. See Hey, Hey, What Can I do here. However, the 1960s "British Invasion" was a different time period when one a single from one time period could be a B side from an album single. So I'm not counting that era. Kind of the wild west there.

Whitesnake had a B-side that eventually made the band's greatest hits album: "You're Gonna Break My Heart Again", possibly my favorite song by Whitesnake because it sounds more like thrash metal than hard rock. If Whitesnake ever plugged it in more than they usually did in the '80s, and made about five or ten more songs as heavy as "You're Gonna Break My Heart Again", they would have been more popular into the '90s, when I decided that I like them. Here is the YouTube link to the song: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noo7zG8v0m0>

When I was a teenager at school in the UK in the 70s a group of us used to spend the lunch break at one of our houses, and one time at mine I played them the B side of the latest single by The Sweet and asked them to guess who it was, and nobody had a clue. The B sides of all their "chart friendly" singles were self penned hard rock songs, in fact their LPs consisted of half a dozen bubblegum songs, and the rest of the tracks sounded like they had been included by mistake. I saw them live in 74 and it was like a heavy metal concert, all the little screaming girls couldn't get their heads round it when they were playing all their b sides and LP tracks.
