45’s, Side B

[Weatherman2020]

That thread title will keep away the millennials.

Anyway, great songs that somehow ended up as Side B throwaways.

This was the B-side of their last 45 and it is one of their best.

"Maggie May" by Rod Stewart was originally the B side to "Reason to Believe". Maggie May was Rod's first big hit, #1 on the charts. "Reason to Believe" also charted in the Top 40.

Didn’t know that. This thread just shows the gap between the decision makers and reality. These songs have lived decades.

This millennial does! My taste in music is eclectic. I like it all--from classical, swing, outlaw country, Latino brass, rock, R&B, jazz, folk, bluegrass, funk. . . .

"You Can't Always Get What You Want" was a huge B-side hit.

I know music from my grandfather and father's collections.

All of my music is on mp3 files nowadays
MP3s have a lot of advantages
I have over 50k songs
I could never have 50k songs on vinyl or CDs
You can easily make different play lists with mp3s
You can put them on portable players and play them in your car

While MP3 is not the best format for audiophiles, the introduction of buying single songs did eliminate having to buy an entire album of crap to get the one good song.

This reminds me I went to Walmart the other day to get a flash memory stick and they were selling vinyl and throw away film cameras I thought I was in the Twilight zone
