What are your favourite b-sides 

[louis.exe 1,992]

mine is Has To Be such a beautiful song

[geert 3,081]

Supernatural

[wtg1987 10,187]

I don’t class has to be as a b-side but I’m sure I will be shot down - I love that song a lot but I class supernatural as it wasn’t released on any Madonna album - I’m still trying to decipher the lyrics to this song 30 years later ?

[Guest Nobody Knows Me]

Let Down Your Guard

[Enrico 15,856]

Favourites: Supernatural and Has to me, plus Veras.

Honorable Mention: Ain't to big deal, it was so special to find it cause it was the first b side!!

Least favourite: Let down your guard and Up down suite (makes no sense, they should have put Goodbye to innocence which is pure perfection).

Well, Has to Be was released as a b-side to Ray of Light single as well as bonus on Ray of Light album. I guess it can be considered both a b-side and a bonustrack.

[Voguerista 11,870]

Great topic! And for me: I vote for "Lo Que Siente La Mujer(Spanish verison of What It Feels Like For a Girl)". So beautiful!!

I always thought there should have been more b-sides throughout Madonna's discography. It could have been a perfect excuse to keep on releasing physical singles and therefore generating more interest in buying them. Her bloody labels could have prevented us from downloading rare songs illegally for years. 

Songs that should have been b-sides include: Shame, Your Honesty (though we got it in 2003 but extremely out of place in that EP), Revenge, Arioso, Like An Angel Passing Through My Room, Liquid Love, Miss You, Cool Song, Triggering, Latte, Animal, ETC!)

I mean I still can’t work out the full lyrics to the song - the lyrics are on google but a lot of them aren’t correct 

[New_Boy 7,887]

Madonna's first three albums were basically singles + B-sides, almost every deep cut was released as a B-sides. Never got why she has so few... Pet Shop Boys have almost five discs of them in a similar time span.

Supernatural, Has To Be and Let Down Your Guard for me!

I think these are correct...

I understand your feelings, back in the day I had to find an American person to write down all the parts I couldn't understand! ... you can imagine when I asked somebody to write the lyrics to Did you do it 

Supernatural 
Made your acquaintance late one night
You were floating around, you know you gave me quite a fright
You didn't seem like an ordinary man
More like a ray of light

You transcendentally imposed yourself upon my bed
You know you didn't say very much
I'm out of body and I feel so good in my head
You know I'm really quite touched

I wake up with your fragrance and it's all over me
What cologne do you wear?
I walk around with a smile on my face, 'cause you're close to me
Well I know you're somewhere (this might not be correct - anyone??)

Gonna take my chance on a different kind of romance
A supernatural thing
Gonna have my fill, it gives me such a big thrill to be with
A supernatural thing

You say you've lived here for quite some time
And I'd say that your skills as a lover are very refined
You know just what I want and I don't have to ask
Are you reading my mind?

You're not demanding, for a man, that's really quite rare
You're not the least bit obsessed with your hair
You're not upset when I come home later than ten
For a ghost you're a very good friend

I've got to be a very careful, never know what the neighbors would say
They already think I'm crazy
I wouldn't like to wake up and find myself in the family way
A ghost baby?
(chorus, repeat)

I can't see you, but I know you're out there you little rascal
Stop that
(bridge + chorus, repeat)

Gonna take my pants off for a different kind of romance
That super-duper naturally big thing, outrageously large
(fade)

[MarXus 92]

Supernatural is great, but my vote goes to Has to Be.  If it's available on the flip side of a single then it certainly is a B-Side. 

[PWCCA 2,498]

Supernatural and Let Down Your Guard are my favourites. Also love Aint No Big Deal

[LVX 289]

I like Ain't No Big Deal but I can see why it wasn't album material after all. 'Weak songs' like Think Of Me or I Know It are far better.

I always thought Think Of Me was so underrated, and I honestly think it could have done pretty well as a single. It’s such a catchy song.

I like to add that "Stay" is a pretty incredible song.  I actually prefer it to it's A-Side "Like A Virgin".
