For those 45 RPMs and older: What's your favorite B-side?
There aren't many brights sides to growing old. But for those of us just barely old enough to remember 45 rpm records, being able to hold on to memories of B-side songs represents one of the bright sides of growing old. One of my favorite B-side 45s was the B-side of Andy Kim's Rock Me Gently. The reason? Because it was a straight instrumental mix of the A-side song, so it was a self-contained Karaoke back-up track. For those just barely old enough to remember the vinyl 45 rpm record, what are some of your favorite B-sides? Now, for the trivia question. What was the B-side of Kenny Roger's cover of Ruby (Don't Take Your Love to Town)? If you don't remember the song (but you're old enough to remember it), this should trigger your memory. Dr BLT's cover (sorry, no B-side included) http://www.drblt.net/music/...

One of my many favorite b-sides on 45's is Queen's - Don't Try Suicide or Gary Wright - Let it Out on the b-side of Dream Weaver. I had stacks of 45... I had nails all over my wall holding all my 45's... I got them all from the Warehouse down by the fountain in the Valley Plaza. God I wish I had them all now. posted by

Damitjanet, I'll have to check out those B-sides. I know that I love all of those A-sides. Rush rocks. Queen rocks. And Gary Wright rocks. Dream Weaver is one of my favorite songs of all time. I like My Love is Alive too. Great taste in music! That's a sign that you could become a rock star yourself! :)

Andy Kim, I loved Rock Me Gently Hey I know the answer I think. "I just checked in to see what conditon my condition was in"? Oh and Alan Freed coined the expression "Rock and Roll" ;) I wish my old buddy Mario Sanchez was here he is mister Trivia (Mario Mondo from the old KKXX, more so now KNZR) posted by

Thanks for asking this question... Now all I can do is think about all my 45's and what all I had. The Police - Aside "Don't Stand so Close" Bside "A Sermon God I love those 45's why oh why did I get rid of them all.

My all time favorite is, "Silver Springs" which was the B-side to "Go Your Own Way", by Fleetwood Mac. Running a very close second is, "Hey, Hey What Can I Do " which was the B-side to Immigrant Song, by Led Zeppelin. posted by

I missed those, but I love Fleetwood Mac as well as Led Zeppelin, so those would certainly be worth checking out if I come across them.
