Both are pretty close to excruciating... I vote B, as despite the carcrash that is Pete Burns, 'You Spin Me Round' is actually pretty good.

I could listen to a few things on B, so A gets it.

There are some songs on A that are pretty OK, actually - I could listen to about half of it without barfing. I feel that B is mining a purer seam of crap - that Perry Como song is beyond annoying, and B just piles on the big guns towards the end. A Nickelback record is like a black hole, sucking in all light and beauty from its surroundings, and then we get all widdly-widdly with Yngwie before concluding with the world's oldest teenager massacring The Who. Bravo - it's an appalling list!

B, comfortably.

Both lists are crappy enough but nothing on either raises the blood pressure. Oh, I was forgetting Bryan Adams.

B, comfortably. A has some stuff I like OK, despite also having Hoobastank, whereas B has a truly horrific next five- that Lou Reed song might be the worst thing he's ever done and you have to go some- and of course "Rockstar," the "Another Girl, Another Planet" of Bizarro. I expect to see it at least once more, in fact.

Behind Blue Eyes is a cover version that gets flak not for the sound (which is surprisingly good), but the band who DARE TAKE ON THE WHO.

A for the bad Bizkit song.

Excellent matchup. Gotta take A by a snizz hair. Just reading it creeps me out.

Tough match. A get 4 votes. B get 6.

A big winner. B send five more songs.
