A should not have added REM, so I choose B now.

B

The right jellyfish track would have swung it the other way. And the GoGo's are dismal.

A tasteful new five, showcasing the fine Jellyfish and the great early REM (but still with that off-putting crapulous Joan Jett).

It's Garnet Mimms against Garnet Mimms this time! :P

But otherwise mostly "meh" on both sides of the ring, if you ask me.

A by a fraction of a millimeter... :roll:

A is one of my favorite lists still in. I like the new picks by B better overall, although the Meters track on A is a killer.

Still gotta go with A.

Both highly thought-out BCB crowd pleasers, difficult to seperate. A has a little more I can't get with, despite that great REM pick. B.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

B has upped it's game with the End but it still feels like an over-familiar list of past crowd pleasers. A however is coming along nicely with the Meters, Don Covay and even a decent REM track.
