Hey, Powderworkers!
 
I was reading some of the list's archives from ten years ago, and it made me nostalgic for some of our "What's your favourite Oils [blank]" discussions.  So I've decided to ask you all which Oils b-side you really think should have made the "host album" of the single it appeared on.
 
For me, it's Heaven and Earth, which is as good as any song on Redneck Wonderland, and would have been a brilliant album closer.  Drop in the Ocean would have been better as a b-side, for that matter, as it is really jarring in the context of the rest of the album.
