A might just be the worst track selected so far. completely wet and anaemic.
the sutch album often gets labelled as the worst album ever, and i remember always seeing it regularly in the bargain bins at record shops. this track is greaaaat though! kudos to whoever picked it.

I don't mind the Cardinal track - in fact, I do think it's well-crafted, and I could see it working well in the context of an album. That said, it's missing something to my ears.
The Screaming Lord Sutch track is pretty good, even if I've been moving further and further away from this sort of thing in my listening habits.
B, I guess.

I like Cardinal generally, and that track specifically, despite the fact that one of the guys is a Trumper Troll on Facebook (I have mutual friends with him). Don't know about the other guy.
Fortunately, B is a bold pick and, while a bit slight, it's got a winning groove.
It's a relief, because voting for A would be like voting for Curt Schilling for the Hall of Fame. On a stats level, it's deserved, but I don't want any part of supporting traitors.

BTW, other Trump Traitors on Facebook:
Mo Tucker (VU), sadly
Michael Quercio (Three O' Clock/Permanent Green Light), though he mainly seems to enjoy trolling - I don't know that he's a huge Trump fan so much as a Libertarian windbag.
Billy Zoom (X), and apparently Exene too, though she doesn't seem to be on Facebook

I think I liked A more than many on here, it reminded me a tiny bit of Bowie. The lead vocal wasn't very memorable though and although there are pretty bits of instrumentation, it doesn't really come together in any kind of impactful way.
B is what Bo Diddley would've made had he been hanging out with a bunch of roadies down The Marquee in 1975. There's not much to it, but its fun with a kind of shambolic charm.

I see what the Cardinal track was going for, sort of baroque chamber pop along the lines of a Belle & Sebastian, but it just doesn't get there..Don't enjoy his voice..The Lord Sutch track at least has movement and there's more to like about the Diddley riffing than anything from the previous track...Vote B

Not sure what's inspired all the hate here. Slow, and a little insipid, yes, but some decent two part harmonies and a complete absence of jagged stabbing sounds - although someone turned the drums up unnecessarily before the end. 3/10
As a human being, Sutch was a narcissistic, crapulous waste of space. I saw him around a few times in London in the late seventies and early eighties, usually engaged in drumming up some publicity for his latest parliamentary candidacy/PR stunt. Once he was getting press (presumably) photographers to snap that very Rolls Royce with a Denver boot on it - which turned out to be made of cardboard, much like him. His political career was more successful than his recording style. Some of his early stuff was OK, but this is pure crap, nothing to do with Bo Diddley (what are you guys on?) and should, like him, have been flushed away as soon as it appeared in the bowl. 1/10
A got lucky
