Fuck, I feel really bad on B - unfamiliarity on my part (and not through esostericness on theirs) has scuppered the list. It looks really interesting, but a few big hitters take it for A.

I know! This BCB Cup is going to turn into a hot oiled tonedeaf homo orgy at any second.

B isn't really my taste, though it does boast a great Fall track.
Overall, there's more for me to enjoy on A, so it gets my vote.

Most of it works well for me (don't know the Cave track) and The Stone Roses selection is a brave, and good, one. B's list will probably be popular on here, but isn't my thing.
Easy win for A.
