I was glad to see he included Oasis among the artists who released B-sides that would easily have been hits as A-sides. He mentions the Jam, too, and Paul Weller was a hero, then a friend, of Noel Gallagher of Oasis.

Don't know if you saw the thread I posted last month on Classic Rock magazine's article on the best B-side albums:

As I mentioned in a reply there, 5 of the 23 songs on the setlist for the Oasis reunion tour were B sides.
