B-side
Significado: A lesser-known or secondary track, originally from the flip side of a vinyl single.
On vinyl singles, the A-side was the hit and the B-side was the secondary track. Some B-sides became famous in their own right. The term now means any secondary or hidden content. Calling something a 'B-side' can imply it's underrated or that you appreciate the less obvious material.
