Both are good, but B for me.

I make this A -20, B -26. Anyway, A was Count Machuki, while B's new songs go towards his or her third round entry.

What's worse, I got beaten in a tie-breaker by an extra five that could have been picked by me! Except that crap Associates track...why the hell do people like that?

How does this work?

Regarding my list in round one, The Modernist wrote:I love A; every track has that spark and it provides a fascinating journey. I actually have the second track by a different Turkish act. This is the kind of thing I want to see more of and I hope BCB will grant it open ears.


Yet, in round two, The Modernist wrote:While I do prefer B's genres on the whole, it doesn't do that much to wow me - I don't see the originality it appears others are seeing.


What the hell, man?! :)

Interesting that many people mentioned the Associates' track as a reason for voting for B; it does divide opinion, and I suspect it's one of those songs that plays far better in Europe than in America.

I'm sorry CG. I can't really explain the contradiction other than on some days and within the context of particular ties you sometimes see things differently. Yours was a very good list and my comments didn't really reflect that.
I should shut up I know! :oops:

It's much better for me than that limp power pop track you picked. But it was 4 tracks versus 5 for me. 90% is an incredibly high ratio given that in the tie-break before I could barely find anything to get behind.

The Carleen and the Groovers tracks is my best discovery of the competition so far.
Where would rock 'n' roll be without feedback?

:lol:

It's all good. My own voting has been erratic so far this year.

And John/Josh - thanks for your vote, but where were you yesterday? And why couldn't you be seven more people? :)
