BCB Cup 2013 - Round 3 - Match 6 - no hitz for hatz!

[Walk In My Shadow]

B

[GoogaMooga]

I see that I have voted for both lists in the first round, what to do, what to do?

[GoogaMooga]

Okay, I'll give it to A - for introducing me to the garage nugget by the Morning Reign!

[mentalist (slight return)]

A

[brassneck..]

Another A - props for picking my favourite Kinks song.

[Penk!]

A is doing a good job of mixing the familiar and more unusual, while B just isn't convincing, though its new five is good.

[The Modernist]

There is probably a bit more for me in A although I came very close to being swayd by 'The Bells'.

Whew, very tough match up. Great lists, guys.

There are some great high points on B (Silver, Saints, Originals, Stooges), but there are even more for me on A (Sam & Dave, Heads, Caravans, Sly, Kinks) as well as some nice discoveries too. Apologies to B.


A

[whodathunkit]

Great new five from A which is becoming a contender. B continues to disappoint. So many better versions of "The Bells" and "Wade In The Water"

A

[Lemon Yoghourt]

A

[Copehead]

Can't argue with reynard

B

[kath]

oh, there it is. list A. my nemesis. my albatross. my cross to bear. the thorn in my craw, the splinter in my ass. the vile, gorgothan, bilge-swillin, buttmongerin fucquesplat of doomlike demeanor on an epic scale.

ya. how ya doin?


A

[Samoan]

A

but I loved B's Marlena Shaw song.

[mantochanga]

A but very close. Some quality stuff on B. The Bells was an inspired pick.

[Polishgirl]

A

[Cosmic American Girl]

A

[Ray K.]

Love the Fox tune.... B

[B]

Very close. A though

A

[John Mc]

Both good. I voted for A last time. I like several of B's new 5 more though, the Bellrays, the Marlena Shaw version of 'Water' I like more than I expected (Judy Henske did it better, though). However, I like the overdubbed 45 'organ' version of that Stooges track more than the original (which doubtless puts me in a minority there, I know).

I'm going to stick with A. But it was close, could have gone either way.

[funky_nomad]

That Walkmen track is still mighty - A
