Toughest match in this round:
Never heard this Dion song before, and I was ready to dismiss it as a pale Dylan copy after the first 30 seconds or so, but it really gains momentum and personality later on. Great choice!
As for A, I'm a bit suprised by some of the comments. The inherent "novelty value" of all-female bands ... at odds with the musical tone of the cup ... if it's pre-60's, it's gotta be be-bop ...
Who cares: the clip is a real joy to watch and Viola Smith's a new hero of mine.
(As a sidenote: when googling her, I found out that she was also the drummer of the Kit-Kat Band in the original production of Cabaret on Broadway.)

I'm a bit surprised by the comments towards A, it's a piece of music isn't it, what's so strange about judging it? I'm tempted to guess this might've been an odd historic Loki/fange pick, but I figured someone would've remembered it. It's alright, the drumming is less impressive than the horns in my view, but for a preludin pensioner pick, it's more interesting than most. The sort of music you'd expect in some kind of chase scene in an Abbot and Costello Meet The Mummy film. Which actually does exist, so I don't know if I remembered that from childhood or just got a lucky guess.
I've probably never heard a Dion song other than The Wanderer, and the only other thing I know about him is that he got lucky by not booking a seat with Buddy Holly. As others have noted, this is kind of a Dylan pastiche, and I guess it's alright. Not as interesting a pick as A though.

As much as i like B - i like Dion's music a lot and this is a strong selection from this period of his career - in this kind of tie i am almost always predisposed towards a track like A. It seems so dated on first appearances to most post-rock and roll music fans, but it's full of energy and passion and rebelliousness in its own way.

Just because dames can rock doesn’t mean they should.
Dion
Not as good as Solange.
