I'm trying to give A a fair crack. Really trying. But the American high school cliche and the moaney tone of his voice ... oh fucking shut up.
I'd've voted Van Halen against that. And I've arguments against Supergrass and this track, but wtf it's fun.

A was just dull,all very earnest and heartfelt I'm sure, but the song doesn't go anywhere and it has a boring rhythm track. B isn't my favourite Supergrass,but it's hard to deny it's direct pop exhuberance.

Agree with pretty much everything said so far. Both are kind of thin on ideas, but A really just piles on the cliche over a not very interesting drone.
Supergrass is a band I've always liked rather than loved, and B is fun rather than anything great or particularly challenging, but by god it's more than enough in this context.

I liked A a bit more than everybody else, but it's not going to chime my clock or anything
B is just a joy - like most singles this band put out.

Didn't find A particularly offensive, it could have won a few matches this round. But not this one, I agree with JC here about Supergrass.

A was slow without being stately. Not my thing at all.
B isn’t exactly breaking new ground but Khalid could do with some of what Supergrass are having.

A reminds me of Ultravox's "My Sex" until the chorus, which is a bit too overcooked for the understated style of the song. Toomuch warmth. His voice is annoying though, that croak is properly irritating.
I'm buggered if I'm voting for Supergrass though, the absolute pits of the Britpop scene for me. Some kind of updating of Elvis Costello on the chorus, and a Boomtown Rats of a verse. Has absolutely no reason to exist, it would've been dated and shit in 1980, it's a lifeless wet fart of a song.

A is ok but never really lit my wick. B is a fine pop tune from a great band.
