Two fine lists with great highs each way - in the end the Jerry Moore swayed me- thanks for that!

The Betty Lavette is of course absolutely fantastic and so is the Kate Bush track, and Fauna Flora is a nice discovery. But Roland Kirk murdering his flute is a deal breaker, sorry B.

A is as BCB-Cup-by-numbers as it gets - but I like all of it and especially the excellent Bad Seeds.

A is ok but I really like most of B.

Previously unknown (to me) Jerry Moore and Fauna Flora being particular highlights (and the Van track).

A resounding vote for B.

Unlucky Matt, yours was one of the better lists this round, but luck of the draw plays a massive role in this format. It's always cruel when you think you're doing well and then a run of votes goes against you -if its any consolation I'm experiencing that right now myself!

Par for the course. Wish I could've come up with a better one, but I really don't have the feel for this game obviously.

Well I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. It would only have taken one person to change their vote and you would have won.

Oh, I'm not being hard on myself, just tellin' the truth as I see it, like always. I actually looked at your list you posted on SS, and thought "a little of this, a little of that..." and tried to come up with something similar. But my tastes aren't that exotic, really. I like rock, and every other type of music I enjoy has to have some kind of rhythmic beat or aggression. I don't know if I'm articulating it well, anyway, my list didn't really represent what really drives me.

But a list of typical Matt songs would never have cut the mustard though, so compromise was necessary. Compiling these lists doesn't come as easily for me as it does you. Not that your lists are compromises, that's not what I mean. More like the checking off of the boxes thing is something I have to be aware of, it's not something that's organic.
