[Davey the Fat Boy]

Too close at first view. Gonna have to listen deeper. Both pretty attractive looking on the surface.

[Snarfyguy]

I'm having trouble deciding too.

[toomanyhatz]

Dammit, why must my two favorite remaining lists go up against each other? Both falter slightly in the new five, but I really want to reward B for producing so many unheard songs that reward the effort of clicking on them. With serious apologies to A- this is the only list that could've beaten you, probably. (Well, that past-their-prime Ramones track didn't help...)

[Pepito]

B

[The Modernist]

Not all of B's left-field picks work, but overall it's the more invigorating listen.

B

A

[brassneck..]

I really couldn't separate these.

[Ranking Ted]

Another one I'll need to come back to. Very little in these.

EDIT: Went in the end for the low hanging fruit of A - but there's plenty of archive stuff to enjoy there as well (e.g. the Baby Face Willette, Sandford Clark selections - new to me both.

[Mike Boom]

A for me please

[Bungo the Mungo]

There's not much in B apart from the Beefheart that I consider great.

A, on the other hand, is a classy list - smart selections just a step off the beaten track. The Lee H is new to me, and it's a cracker. Well done, A! Well done!

[Magilla]

B

[watts]

I can't do a listen off anymore -- too little time. I'll have to abstain.

[whodathunkit]

Can't believe I'm voting against Elmore but A has pulled out a fantastic new five. Great Beefheart choice and one of Dylan's finest .

[Walk In My Shadow]

B

[Thesiger]

B places his trust in the lure of the less familiar. A prefers to pick some tasty low hanging fruit. Yumm.
