Ok.

I may be able to fill up a greatest hits disc of their music.

...and that's not a bad thing. If a group has 12-15 good songs, that's 12-15 more good songs than a lot of other groups.

Sometime along the line though they grew on me and became my favorites.

exactly, which is why the "filler" term doesnt make any sense.

The band treats every song the same.

The non-singles are sometimes the best part of the record.

The single isn't always what the band considers "their best song" from the work, it's just the song they picked to be played on the radio to get interest in the album.

Not true at all, at least in the old days

Phil Spector hated "wasting" good songs on b sides. So he'd release garbage jams on flips, often named after Wrecking Crew session men. However Phil himself kept all writing and publishing rights.

Allegedly "Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye" is so long b/c the label did not want to take airplay away from the intended A side, and thought the length would discourage radio stations from playing it. Despite this DJs flipped it over and it eventually became a #1 hit.
