I belive we all agree that Morrissey's catalogue of b-sides is rich and amazing. i'm keen to introduce to his art a friend of mine making the best of A-sides as well as B-sides.
how would be you Best of B-Sides?

CHILDREN IN PIECES
NOBODY LOVES US
TEENAGE DAD ON HIS ESTATE
I KNOW VERY WELL HOW I GOT MY NAME
SISTER I'M A POET
A SWALLOW ON MY NECK

I'VE CHANGED MY PLEA TO GUILTY

striptease with a difference is not a b-side , its an unreleased track

your list is good but what about will never marry ... classic
 
I felt in love with Ganglord when I heard it live in Benicassim 2006. Since then is one of my favourites b-sides.
 
Oh well, I'll never learn is my current favourite. And Skin Storm. :o

From Wikipedia

"A-side and B-side originally referred to the two sides of 7 inch vinyl records on which singles were released beginning in the 1950s. The terms have come to refer to the types of song conventionally placed on each side of the record, with the A-side being the featured song (the one that the record producer hopes will receive radio airplay and become a "hit"), while the B-side, or flipside, is a secondary song that often does not appear on a band's LP.

B-side songs are released on the same record as a single to provide extra "value for money". There are several types of material commonly released in this way:

a different version (e.g., instrumental, a cappella, live, acoustic, remixed version or in another language/text) of the A-side or another track
another song from the same album, which the record company does not want to release on its own
a song not considered good enough for the album
a song that was stylistically unsuitable for the album
a song that had not yet been completed at the time of the album's release
a song that was intended to be [marketed as] a B-side after all
a cover of another song
in concept records: a song that doesn't fit into the story line."


B-side does not specifically refer to who composed or wrote the song.....
