Great songs not on studio albums

[strummerville]

In which case we also have Clash City Rockers and I Fought The Law to add to our list.

And Complete Control.

Problem here is that a great deal of dance music is 12" only, with albums not sharing the same concept as more traditional rock formats.

Yeah I know. I guess what I'm looking for is tracks by bands with whom you associate studio albums but don't appear on them.

morrissey - "pregnant for the last time"

 

[rollinder]

Bob Dylan Blues by Syd Barrett.

does something released for the first time on a best of album count?

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Nirvana - Aneurysm

My favourite Nirvana song, personally.

 

[May Kasahara]

It does appear on Incesticide though.

 

[Annierak]

Morrissey - Sister I'm A Poet

 

[dream_girl]

Radio Radio - Elvis Costello

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Nirvana - Aneurysm

My favourite Nirvana song, personally.

Used to go slightly mental on the dancefloor of my local rock club when they played this

Jimi Hendrix ex- The stars the play with laughing Sam's dice. A complete riot of a song. it sounds rough as fuck.
Jane's Addiction- Slow Divers. Live song only. I likes it.

It does appear on Incesticide though.

Yes - but that isn't a studio album. It's a collection of B-sides/early demos etc.

 

[belboid]

Hawkwind - Urban Guerilla
Teardrop Explodes - Soft Enough For You & Use Me
Shellac - Wingwalker, The Guy Who Invented Fire, Rambler Song

 

[May Kasahara]

Yes - but that isn't a studio album. It's a collection of B-sides/early demos etc.

I know, but I only realised after I posted and am too lazy to go back and correct

(It's still a better album than In Utero though )

My nomination would be: the Nina Nastasia song about hockey and violence that she played on her last Peel Session. Never heard it officially recorded anywhere, but she played it live last time I saw her and (yet again) it chilled me to the bone.

Yes, hence my inclusion of Girls Aloud's "Something Kinda Ooh" in the original post.
