Another good match. Now, that's some reggae I do like. Lou's track is very good and I hate to vote agaisnt it, but B got my feet moving and I like that right now.

More Lou, but this is serious,statement making Lou with added LA metal..and hence far less appealing to me.

I've heard the Toots way too many times, but it's still a blast.

Both fab. Finally!

The Toots song is one of his very best - but truthfully I'm not a fan of 70s reggae, the way the sound thickened and things became a bit less spirited somehow.

'Kill Your Sons' is preposterous but it's a long-time favourite from a magnificent LR album and it gets my vote here

So two Lou songs in two matches, and neither of them up to much. I loved the Velvet Underground but Christ Lou put out some right old shite when he went solo.

B can't really be argued with.

I like the tune but the Lou is WAY too busy for me. I think the producer thought the more they stuck on the track the better it would be. B

And if the first one had been a great success, would you be decrying the unfair advantage this track gained as a result?

It's just the luck of the draw. And that Lou Reed has released a plethora of unlikeable toss, of course :D

The second track would never gain an advantage, regardless of how the first one fared..For the most part, seems the tolerance level for Lou on here is set at about one song per day at best...

And as far as dross goes, there have been some real doozies in the second round, which far outweigh this excellent Lou track.. :)

No different to the comments the Curtis Mayfield and Slade tracks were getting in round one..where suddenly having all of two tracks in the round represented some kind of ubiquitous overkill. People don't seem to quite grasp the notion that there is a decent chance that well known artists might appear more than once in the same round. :)

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
