A's a better Midnight Vultures pick than the one on the first round. But I prefer B.

Beck nearly always sounds like something I should like - but I rarely do, much.

B I like, quite a lot.

Not that we needed yet another track from that Beck album (though I think I like it more than most people here do), but I think I prefer PJ as a Patti Smith imitator to...whatever the hell that is.

Another underwhelming Beck pick, but it gets a vote here because I have never heard another artist try so desperately to sound edgy and cool as PJ Harvey. Awful, awful stuff.

I quite like Beck, but I like that PJ Harvey track more.

Hey, what gives with all the good stuff in the same ties? Like Match 2, both of these beat the crap out of virtually every other pick so far. I understand the PJ skepticism but I dig that record and that track. But that Beck is an even bigger blast than the last Midnite Vultures pick. Hell yes.

I don't mind the Beck, but it sounds a little dated. I like angry women. I'm often one myself. I like PJ Harvey.

As can sometimes be the case with Beck, there's not much of a song there, but musically it's sparky and groovy enough to engage me. The PJ thing is just this ugly, dank noise and does nothing for me at all.

Gotta go with A
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
