[DebraKadabra]

Since some of my favorite ones have already been mentioned...

Alice in Chains - Lying Season, Fear The Voices

[Adami]

Best bonus track ever......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWUE7BTFvns

Listen to the whole thing. Worth it.

[Pols Voice]

Genesis - On the Shoreline, which is approximately 800,000 times better than its A-side, I Can't Dance.
The Moody Blues - A Simple Game, the B-side of Ride My See-Saw. It's one of their best songs.

Radiohead has tons of nice B-sides and so forth.

[Dark Castle]

Grimes - Ambrosia

 

[Unlegit]

Kamelot - Leaving Too Soon is great.

[PuffyPat]

The Mars Volta: Frances the Mute (somehow the title track didn't make it on to the record)

[Zydar]

My favourite B-sides band is definitely Oasis (especially from the 90s singles).

The Masterplan, Fade Away, Half The World Away, Acquiesce, Rockin' Chair, Round Are Way, Step Out, I Got The Fever, etc.

[philmcson]

Disturbed - Lost children (album with B-sides), it just nails it!

Also, I don't know why Maiden always cover songs for B-sides but rarely release them (although there is a compilation which I own)...... I bought the AMOLAD cd from 2006 and it had a DVD showing how they recorded the album and the B-sides. On a computer there were the names of the songs shown; they had a ZZ Top song (Tush) and if I'm right, there was a track called "Angel of death"! Would be cool to hear how they nailed the fast guitars and what Nicko did of the song, knowing that he refuses to play double bass 

[Zantera]

A few that comes to mind: (Some of these are on EPs or alternative versions of albums)

Agalloch - The Lodge (Dismantled Version)
Amplifier - Continuum
Blackfield - Perfect World
Converge - On My Shield
Dredg - Uplifting News
Lacuna Coil - Halflife
Neil Young - Sugar Mountain
Nine Inch Nails - Wish
Oceansize - Superfluous to Requirements, Relapse, Sizeofanocean, Breed Siamese, I Haven't Been the Claw For Ages, Red Rag to a Bear
Opeth - Derelict Herds, Pyre
Pain of Salvation - Thorn Clown
Pendulum - Another Planet
Porcupine Tree - Drown With Me, Buying New Soul, Half-Light, What Happens Now?, Cheating the Polygraph, Normal, Mother & Child Divided, The Jokes On You, Cure For Optimism, Futile, So Called Friend
Radiohead - Supercollider, These Are My Twisted Words
Riverside - Forgotten Land, Us, Acronym Love
Sigur Rós - I Gaer
Steven Wilson - Home in Negative
The Smashing Pumpkins - Starla, Obscured, The Aeroplane Flies High
Tori Amos - Flying Dutchman, Upside Down
Ulver -Of Wolves & Vibrancy

[Jaffa]

As far as I'm concerned, Muse could literally release a new album consisting entirely of bonus tracks and b-sides, and it would end up being one of their best albums. 

[Jaq]

The tracks specific to the limited edition of Iced Earth's Dystopia-Iron Will and Soylent Green-were better than most of the tracks on the "standard" edition of the album.

[TioJorge]

My favorite B-side is Porcupine Tree's Chloroform.

Other favorites:
MF Doom - Rapp Snitch Knishes ft. Mr. Fantastik; True Thug MC
Gorillaz - Hong Kong; Rockit
The Killers - Tranquilize (ft. Lou Reed); Change Your Mind; Shadowplay; Sweet Talk; Where The White Boys Dance; All The Pretty Faces
OSI - No Celebrations; Christian Brothers (don't care it's a cover)
Steven Wilson - Cut Ribbon ('new' version released through his App); Vapour Trail Lullaby
Porcupine Tree - Wake As Gun I & II Demos; Mother and Child Divided; So Called Friend; Cheating The Polygraph; The Joke's On You; Rainy Taxi
Opeth - Patterns In The Ivy II; Pyre

All I can think of for now.

[Scorpion]

Trivium - Shattering the Skies Above (though it's on the special edition of In Waves). Awesome song.

[millahh]

Dredg - Stone by Stone, Uplifting News
PT - All of those mentioned above

[Nel]

My favourite B-sides band is definitely Oasis (especially from the 90s singles).

The Masterplan, Fade Away, Half The World Away, Acquiesce, Rockin' Chair, Round Are Way, Step Out, I Got The Fever, etc.

Yes! Oasis is one of those strange bands where I like a lot of their b-sides over their a-material.

Also, having spent the past few days trying to get as many b-sides/bonus tracks for the albums I own as possible (hunts like this are why I generally hate bonus tracks in general, I obsessively need everything that could be on the album), I can attest that Red Hot Chili Peppers always seem to churn out great ones.

Also, in a random example, "There She Goes Again" by James Blunt, an artist I don't even like. But that particular song is fantastic.

[JayOctavarium]

Most of the PT mentioned above...

Most of the DT mentioned above..

and Green Day's "Too Much Too Soon"... B side from American Idiot. Love it.

The Moody Blues - A Simple Game, the B-side of Ride My See-Saw. It's one of their best songs.

If you're talking Bon Jovi, they did a great version of The Boys Are Back In Town.

Not even any of the OSI bonus tracks I didn't mention?

I'm not really into OSI bonus tracks. Out of the ones you've mentioned, To Create A Warlike Feel is quite amazing, and it DEFINITELY deserved to be on an album. I wonder what happened to Unia leftover bonus tracks (some eight of them) that Tony mentioned in the interviews around that time - he said they would definitely use parts of them later. Some songs off The Days Of Grays definitely sound like they could belong on Unia - especially In My Eyes You're A Giant.

I don't think anyone mentioned Kamelot's Snow - that is one hell of a bonus track.

[ZKX-2099]

Avenged Sevenfold - 4:00 AM, everything from Diamonds In The Rough, Lost It All

[?]

I'm not really into OSI bonus tracks.

I'm not either, to be honest - I found the bonus disc on Free pretty disappointing. But No Celebrations is awesome, too bad they had already completed the album before they asked Tim to sing on that one.

Yes, TCAWF is excellent; the melodies, riffs and lyrics are all great and I like the subtle Finnish vocal part.

I didn't know Tony had that many songs in the Unia era! IMEYAG does sound Unia-ish, it's like a more aggressive Paid in Full. Tony did write at least Losing My Insanity in that period, because the Ari Koivunen album was released very quickly after Unia - however, it may have been written specifically for Ari, like the song Tony made for Agnes Pihlava.

Oh yeah, I just remembered - out of OSI bonus tracks I like Set It On Fire, a LOT. Otherwise, when their tracks have bonus vocalists, I just can't connect to them, it seems that there needs to be Kevin singing or no one at all for my OSI needs

They had 20 songs more or less completed and I wonder what will happen to the ones still unreleased. They mentioned doing an EP but eh, it's been five years and they haven't done so.
