GENESIS: Your favorite B-Sides / Non-Album tracks

you might recall ...although strictly not a B side

Its yourself

Inside & Out (a B-side to both Spot The Pigeon and the US Follow You Follow Me single)

Evidence Of Autumn

It’s Yourself

The Day The Light Went Out

Vancouver

Open Door

I could basically list most of them, but my top three would be (at the moment, that is!)

Inside And Out (should've been on W&W)

The Day The Light Went Out

Do The Neurotic

Happy The Man was an a-side, so it's not included.

I think we needn't be pernickety about the term "b-side". I'm guessing the intention is to discuss stuff that wasn't originally on album releases including anything that wasn't literally on the reverse side of a single but Liquid Len will confirm if he wishes to.

I like a lot of them, particular faves are Happy The Man, It's Yourself, Inside & Out, Pigeons, Vancouver, and Submarine.

If I had to narrow it down to one track that I wish made it onto the final album (in this case, Duke), it would be Evidence Of Autumn.

I really like a lot of the non-album tracks, but EoA is probably my favourite of that bunch.

On The Shoreline

Do the Neurotic

Twilight Alehouse

Why is this in the Mike Rutherford forum?

Feeding the Fire, You Might Recall and Submarine.

Honorable mention to Run Out of Time.

I'd forgotten about It's Yourself! What a great tune. It has an intense singular atmosphere Genesis didn't do too much. A bit like Hairless Heart or After the Ordeal but obviously those were instrumentals, and It's Yourself had the added complexity of fitting into a suite that was never made.

Poll has been added to the thread - see first post

GENESIS: Your favorite B-Sides / Non-Album tracks

I have decided not to include the B-Sides from the very first album, but have listed the bonus tracks from the green boxset.

You forgot Spot The Pigeon.

I have a special fondness for most of Genesis's non-album tracks, so it's hard to pick just 6. So I decided to pick 5 and leave #6 up in the air.

Inside & Out

Twilight Alehouse

Let Us Now Make Love

On The Shoreline

You Might Recall

I'm also fond of Shepherd, It's Yourself, Anything Now, Build Me A Mountain (not listed), etc.

(On the other hand "Me & Virgil" & "Nowhere Else To Turn" may be my 2 least favorite Genesis songs.)

you might recall (one of my favourite Genesis tracks)

Inside And Out (should have been an album track)

Paperlate ( a timeless sing along pop song)

Happy The Man

Evidence Of Autumn

On The Shoreline

Worthwhile poll, I've long said some of their best stuff didn't make the cut, particularly post-Hackett's departure.

My 6, from best down:

Evidence of Autumn

It's Yourself

Submarine

Open Door (almost seems like a companion to What Am I Doing Here? By the Moody Blues)

Vancouver (nice little tale reminiscent of For Absent Friends)

You Might Recall.

Honourable mention for Twilight Alehouse, not mad about most of it, but it end's well.
