A....

Massive Attack- Unfinished Sympathy second best thing they've done - official
Grandmaster & Melle Melle- White Lines (Don't Don't Do It) Faultless
Wilson Pickett- 6345789 (That's My Number) Great
DJ Shadow- Building Steam With A Grain of Salt Meh!
Jonathon Richman & the Modern Lovers- Roadrunner (Pts. 1 & 2) Dull, lifeless and shite
Underworld- Born Slippy See Jonathan Richman
Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terril- Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing Average
The Clash- (White Man) in Hammersmith Palais OK
David Bowie- Sound & Vision C'mon Sparks are so much better
The Chills- Pink Frost good choice, like it
Jay-Z- 99 Problems Shite - you obviously don't like hip-hop
Husker Du- New Day Rising - Bob screams, better served by Ice Cold Ice
Chic- Good Times Unimpeachable
James Brown- Give it Up or Turnit Loose See Chic
The Exciters- Tell Him. Not exciting
Max Romeo- Chase the Devil Good, not great
Gregory Isaacs- Tune In ?????
Al Green- Simply Beautiful Too soppy
ODB- Got Your Money You really don't like hip-hop do you?
The Kinks- I'm Not Like Everybody Else Neither am I - shite.

B....

Over the Hill - John Martyn Dreadful
Sure Shot - Beastie Boys Average
World Turned Upside Down - Dick Gaughan Nice choice
Debaser - Pixies Obvious but I'll let you off
Concrete Schoolyard - Jurassic 5 Overplayed, overhyped overandoutRock & Roll - The Velvet Underground Surely some mistake? Rock and Roll and the VU? When did that happen?
I Want to see the Bright Lights Tonight - Richard & Linda Thompson Fuck off and see them then
Dalliance - The Wedding Present Good
Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis - Tom Waits Like it, but not much
Everything in it's Right Place - Radiohead obviously not in this list it isn't
Hideous Towns - The Sundays Hideous clowns
Protection - Massive Attack 14th best track, official
Helicopter - M Ward Meh
Murder, Tonight, in the Trailer Park - Cowboy Junkies Thats how I felt when I listened to it
Paint It Black - The Rolling Stones Faultless
Jackass - Beck As good as the programme
The Saturday Boy - Billy Bragg Today is Friday, I rest my case
Born to Lose - Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers Great
Handshake Drugs - Wilco Dreadful
Summer in the City - The Lovin' Spoonful superb

So another difficult choice, I really want to vote for A but the hip-hop choices are rank and there is a definite air of the broad spectrum cover all bases theme.
B has some good tracksbut is let down by a pervading air of stagnant mediocrity.
Its the holy triumverate of Chic, JB and Massive against their Satanic Majesties and err Massive.

[Butch Manly]

this tie has been incredibly difficult for me (hence the tardiness in voting) but ultimately i'm going for the one with the many little idiosyncratic choices that i really like because i did a few of them and i think that should be acknowledged at least as much as the dreaded "canon". for stuff like billy bragg, m ward, the sundays, "sure shot" and the weddos, i'm going B.

sorry, A, it really was tough.

[Leg of lamb]

A for the cup. The only thing that could derail this list is people getting resentful about how catholic and fun it is compared to their own.

That and the fact it's a little too black for some tastes..

well i'm as bored with the tasteful classic version of music as you are. however if it means replacing the "canon" with The Wedding Present I'll take the "canon". At least you can listen to it.
