B by virtue of being overplayed, overrated and absolutely marvelous!

Okay, I finally up from my nap after getting halfway through B.

I suppose that A is deliberately out of tune - at least it's mercifully short.
B might be overplayed, but every note is magic.

an encouraging start to the cup.
i've not heard the pooh sticks track for ages, so it was nice to be reaquainted with it. i like the homage to whaam! records but it does sound a bit slight.
the harum are one of those bands who are really overlooked. i prefer their first album but 'a salty dog' is quite epic. it's actually one of the first albums i bought and i still remember the luxurious egg shell packaging. it needs to be reclaimed from the PROG goons.

B take themselves too seriously, A don't take themselves seriously enough. So it's over ambition versus under ambition then. I'll take PH's rather stiff and starchy attempt at epic over Pooh Sticks rather too knowingly quaint amateurishness. At least PH try to aim for the stars.

I agree with G more or less. A's type of amateurishness was surely wearing thin by 1988 as well?

Both hard work.
A sounds like a joke.
B is boring.
I’ve a sense of humour: A

I like both of these ok; one a bit of jangly fun, the other a bit of melodic drama. If i'm honest, i enjoyed A a touch more, just suits my mood today.

Rock rock vs nautical rock.
I think I'll take rock rock this morning.

Ambition is not a bad thing.
I'd prefer most other Procol tracks just from a standpoint of obviousness, but it's still B by miles.
A is cute, but out of a universe of songs it's not the best that anyone can do.
