Which band/artist in your opinion has the best b-sides/rare tracks?

Question

I ask because I just got The Power of Negative Thinking: B-Sides and Rarities of The Jesus & Mary Chain in the mail. Well worth the $70 I paid for it, it's amazing. I had heard some of their rare tracks before, and this box set just won me over completely. I've fallen in love with them all over again.

So what about you?

Pavement. They've just always had amazing b-sides and rarities. Harness Your Hopes, Wanna Mess You Around, No Tan Lines, Greenlander, Robin Turns 26, So Stark You're A Skyscraper, the Strings of Nashville the whole Watery Domestic e.p. Winner of the... (to give Scott a little love here), on and on. And that just scratches the surface.

Those reissues are just chalked full of great material.

Radiohead is another really good answer (kudos to the person above who said so). Those Airbag and Iron Lung eps in particular are just wonderful.
