This American Songwriter feature spotlights three B-sides from the 1990s that the writer argues surpass the more famous A-side singles they accompanied. The piece is a light nostalgia-driven appreciation of tracks that were tucked away on singles rather than pushed as lead releases, encouraging readers to seek out the hidden gems of the era's rock and grunge output.

The three selections are Oasis's "Acquiesce" (the B-side to 1995's "Some Might Say", later collected on The Masterplan), Nirvana's "Aneurysm" (from the 1991 "Smells Like Teen Spirit" single, described as sitting between the polish of that hit and the rawness of 1989's Bleach), and Pearl Jam's "Yellow Ledbetter" (written during the Ten sessions but released as the B-side to 1992's "Jeremy", and now a beloved fan favourite). For each, the author explains why the track deserves attention despite being overshadowed by its A-side.
