By god, I'm voting for something by Sugar Ray!
A is pretty bog-standard, and not terribly interesting.
B is in the mallternative genre, which I usually hate, but I like the acoustic guitar and at least the song they're referencing is a good one.

B's kind of famous, isn't it? I've heard it before, anyway. Not keen at all.
A isn't MUCH better, but if I have to choose...

All the decent tracks on the Triple J lists and these are what we get ? .....ugh...Frack...Didn't want to abstain this round, but can I really vote for a freakin' Sugar Ray song ? (A just sort of lies there inert) I'll come back to this one
Edit: Can't do it..Marginal and begrudging Vote for A..What's next ? A Smashmouth conundrum ?

B is too bland for me, A does more to pull me in with its light headed fragility. I do quite like the sound of the thing, I just wish there was more of a song.

I'm desperate for some modernity here, I'm dying a spritual death amongst the tomb raiding going on in all the other rounds, I wish someone had picked an outright dancefloor stomper or something less guitary, something big, brash, and properly pop. A's ok, but it's not really the shock of the new, it's again quite backward looking in style. I mean, it's a nice enough kinda tune, but it's quite a by the numbers indie-pop strumalong. Wouldn't be surprised if this was what Evan Dando was doing now.
Like Dayo, I'm trying to be positive for the attempt to enforce some modern choices, but I can't be doing with Sugar Ray. It just feels as much like a cornflake commercial as anything. It's nasty.

I wish i was in the Heif's group, i would have loved to play some of these ties. A lot of JJJ songs soundtracked my 20s and 30s.

Old fart me, I had not heard of Sugar Ray before, but according to previous posts it's a band I should hate. Duly noted. Anyway both picks seemed pretty innocuous to me, nothing offensive and nothing to hold on. I'm quite sure if I heard them in a coupe of days I would not recognize either. If pushed to pick one

Oh i would have had some fun for sure.
B is one of those songs that's just there - i don't hate or love it, but i probably have heard it a bit too much. A is less played and heard to me, and gets my vote here.

Both grim. There must be something in the water down there.
