B is slightly less dull than A. So I'll reluctantly cast my vote for it. At least it doesn't contain The Power of Love.

B for, amongst other reasons, picking Horrorshow over Adult/ery.

Both are great lists and it's nearly impossible to choose. A has a bit more for me to discover and B has the dreadful Pink Floyd, so that clinches it for A.

congratulations to both contenders for making it this far. Both deserve to win.

Both lists have grown and evolved and risen like soufflés.

A started out as the kind of list you could settle down and have babies with, but gets more adventurous as it goes on. The last 10 picks are very interesting indeed, and I'll be looking into a lot of that stuff. Unfortunately that Frankie Goes to Hollywood track has a totally deleterious effect on me. I would jump out of a helicopter to get away from that song.

B is a sweet-talking, seductive list that does all the right things at all the right times and socks it to you just when you need it and holds back like a hesitant wave just when you want more, then comes back and socks it to you again and again with every new 5 until finally everything melts deliciously together in just the right combination of vigour and tenderness. Nice to see that Bowie track in B's last 5, too.

I have voted for A in the past. I ticked it off for Oh Yeah, which is probably my least favourite Can track. Verging on Can't. But I voted for it.

Now I look at it and I see I was led astray. The Big Payback is subpar Brown. Frankie? Fucking wanky,

This is the work of a broad and far-ranging and quite good taste but it's wanton in its need to be singular. It's the work of someone who is keen on defying you to not like what they like.

B is also louche and eclectic and it appears got out and about a fair bit in the 1980s though things have gone rather downhill since.

That's my glass of tea. That's my extra cool shirt paired with some unfortunate trousers. That's my pick.

God speed, B.
Goodness gracious me.

Obviously we know who they are.....but unlike alot of you, I don't know which list belongs to who. I knew which one was Mike Boom's becuz one or 2 people said it was his.


A


I'm just going to make a calculated guess and say that Moddie probably didn't vote for the other one.

two good lists.

really like the preachers pick from A and overall it's a bit more adventurous, but B is more to my taste.

A has some absolutely stunning choices. It also has a few completely unforgivable, nails down a chalkboard abominations guaranteed to send me screaming from the room.

B also has some spectacular choices and no obvious handicaps.

So Be it.

Certainly the reason why you were such a staunch supporter of my list!

I can't really get excited about either of these lists, but i guess i can derive some slim satisfaction from going out in a tie break to the eventual winner ;)

It's got to be B - well done to you sir :mrgreen:

Two really enticing lists, familiar and esoteric. It really came down to a consideration of the highs and a countdown of the choices that excited me. So, with regrets and a doff of the hat to B, its a well played sir to A. Really good to see these in the final.

Most definitely. I've learned a lot from both lists, so that makes me think that this is one of the best Cups yet. Good work to both competitors.
Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

Last lists standing, backed these two most of the time.
AR Kane makes the difference for me between two excellent lists!

OK, I'm not going to give the game away and ruin it for everyone, but after minutely analysing these two lists I reckon I have fair idea which BCBers are behind them. A clue? Baba O'Riley and Mudshark, but don't let on or it might influence the voting, so stay schtum. Shhhh!

Anyway, interestingly, or not, I voted against both of these lists in the semi-finals and probably in most other rounds (maybe not, I have no idea), so it feels kind of weird voting for either now, as if my choices in the last round inevitably mean I am voting for the one I dislike least rather than the one I like most. The truth is I don't particularly dislike either, but neither does either enrapture me. Obviously A crapped out on the last five to reveal himself (as if he hadn't already), but now I realise that he was buying my affection with all his other choices, too. Each time he picked stuff that made me wince, he more than made up for it with something brilliant making me think: "well if he likes that he can't be a total idiot, so maybe just maybe..." B is rather more consistent: much less offensive in the bad bits, much less embracing in the best. Except that it has The Attack, and Richie Havens, and frankly just about enough to shade it. Well done B.

Tough decision as both are very strong lists. Congrats to both contestants, but my vote goes to:

Hard choice - loads I like on both.
