B-Sides that you think should be on the record (and where to put them)
Kyros:
The Thermals have 4 B-Sides that I'm actually aware of(Capture With a Magnet, Everything Thermals, Product Placement, and My World) and all 4 of the songs should've been on their respective albums.
So I'd put "Capture With a Magnet" and "Everything Thermals" on More Parts Per Million replacing "I Know the Pattern" and "My Little Machine",
Then put "Product Placement" snug between "A Pillar of Salt" and "Returning to the Fold" on The Body, The Blood, The Machine without taking any other track out.
Finally "My World" could have led off Now We Can See pretty nicely.

Radiohead and Belle and Sebastian are masters at great B-sides, I don't really know where to start with those guys.

I think for the most part Radiohead's B-sides were better left off of albums. The B-side to Paranoid android Pearly was a solid enough track to warrant getting on OK Computer, though I really don't know where I'd put it. Love the jangly guitar. At least it made it's way onto the Airbag ep. Radiohead's b-sides from Hail to the Thief on have pretty much been crap.
Seems criminal that Animal Collective's Fickle Cycle didn't make it onto a proper album.

"the cowboy song" by faith no more is frankly jaw-dropping. it should have been on "the real thing" in the place of either "the morning after" or "woodpecker from mars."
Koremora:
So, after careful deliberation, I have determined that Stupid Prick needs to go in between Kings Meadow and I Love You, I'm Going to Blow Up Your School. It just fits well with the understated twinkle of Kings Meadow's ending, and segues nicely into the more ominous I Love You. If you have that song, I recommend you place it there. Also, Dracula Family makes a much better album closer than The Precipice.

B&S always intend for their B-sides to stand on their own, to be fair. Like, they know they're B-sides and then knock them out of the park as B-sides.
