What do we think of this now?
http://www.bcb-board.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=69952
bcb wasn't ready for my list in 2008. Even picking The Pop Group was considered too out there back then. But it opened the doors for successive BCB cups to get more adventurous, introducing spicier, more exotic ingredients to BCB's meat and potatoes diet. And things have never been the same since.
A game changer. No need to thank me.

A is very fine, but a bit obvious in parts, without the subtler shades of soul and jazziness that are part of my wheelhouse.

The BCB equivalent of showing mates pics of old girlfriends from 30 years ago and going “wasn’t she hot?”

Well, what is the BCB Cup but the musical equivalent of a T*nder date.

I think it eloquently makes the point that 8+3 is the way to go.

Abstain.

I think A will win this tie and possibly the whole cup and it will be deserved, its probably the least timid,most exiting list. B shows nuanced and advanced tastes and bravely eschews Indie/alt , but again this stuff isnt difficult - take the Gordian Knot (Love plays the Porpoise Song). In some ways B is the logical conclusion to A, its what happens next, once the allure of the (relativley)known wears off and you seek new thrills (although its not as calculated as that). Voting for B is not to seek reflected glory but to encourage these detours through the alleyways. Well done A
B
What a fucking arsehole.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

There's a slot still open in the current cup if you have the testicles for it!

The very first post on the IMDb Music Board twenty years ago was about how great The Pop Group was.
Where would rock 'n' roll be without feedback?

that the BCB cup is and always has been a spectacular waste of time, a crucible in which the mediocre always rises to the top?

You're a stuckist. Obviously I can't convert everyone, some people are beyond saving.

The lists have really improved over the years though, the first few years weren't very good at all.

The consensus is it peaked in 2015.
