Had to go with the Pixies, I think because I pretty much haven't heard any of the other albums. Also I find Joy Division boring.

Slow Hole To China by Clutch is my favourite rarities compilation album.

Looks like your repressed fanboyism is starting to break loose. 🤣

For me The Masterplan by Oasis, Sci-Fi Lullabies by Suede, and Sawdust by The Killers are the big ones for me. The Masterplan and Sci-Fi Lullabies stand fairly strongly as actual albums.

Lipstick Traces (A Secret History of Manic Street Preachers) beats all of them! They didn't even put the best B-sides on the album! 😜

Past Masters, with Louder than Bombs coming a close second.

Suede's Sci-Fi Lullabies should be mentioned on the occasion. Double album with B sides, which easily beats most of their regular ones. Tracks such as Together, Living Dead, or My Insatiable One are also better than most A-sides.

I don't like Velvet much, but I found VU to be a pleasant surprise.

The Beatles - Past Masters & Oasis - The Masterplan

These for me are the two best B-Sides albums ever.

Pollwise, The Beatles. Otherwise, we have Bob Dylan's Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3, AND Bruce Dickinson's Best of, which includes a lot of rarities on the second disc. All three are priceless. 😄

Past Masters is not B sides and rarities. It's a set of two albums that were created to house the songs that were on American albums but not on British albums, and also singles (some were definitely A sides).

If I had to choose from the poll, I'd choose Building Something Out of Nothing.

Well, your luck's in because he never really made any great studio albums, hence the presence a compilation in my top 100. Having said that, Live at the Apollo is a must. Beyond that, you should check out Star Time.

Thanks. I think that's definitely part of the struggle. I actually love the early 60s soul records he released prior to Live At The Apollo, but Live at The Apollo seems to capture all of the best aspects of those records far better. His funk stuff has always been a bit more hit and miss to me. I appreciate the suggestion.
