What is this evil being inflicted on us? Somehow, I thnk the first 12 seconds of A are going to be the absolute highlight. It sounds like Motley Crue. That isn't a positive in my book (which is titled "Fuck off, Motley Crue", btw).
B is no great shakes, but gets very lucky here. To be fair, of the rock-tastic jam-session type shit that's been flung into this cup, this is better than most.

B
I love this period of Los Lobos.
Really nice to see Love/Hate here, nice choice, apparently a bigger hit in the UK than they were in the US. A band that endured lots of frustration and bad luck.

A "rocks." As if the 60s never happened. This is apparently great news to some.
B is, of course, marvelous. I can't think of a song in Spanglish that I don't like, but this one is unusually good-humored, and the guitar playing is (as always) inspired.

I hear the Motley Crue reference and again, it's not a positive thing.....Los Lobos are always solid and this isn't a terrible choice..They are very good at what they do..Might have gone weirder ("Kiko and the Lavender Moon", perhaps) but this works enough..Vote B

I'll be listening to B while waiting for "Fuck Off, Motley Crue" to come out in paperback.
local heroes up to a point. no great shakes but it sounds better than the first in MY ear holes.

A is brilliant. It rocks, dude!
Why can’t you lot grow a pair and throw your hair around, drink some Jack, crash a motorbike into a liquor store, and maybe fuck some chicks.

Not sure why A is getting roundly rejected and B is attracting all the votes. Is it the name?
I hope never to hear either of these desperately lame choices ever again as long as I live, but you could play
A

Another ABSTAIN for me.
Can't find anything to like in either, I was hoping to find something in the Los Lobos at least, but that track was really poor.

A starts out sounding like some kind of awful nü-prog, but thankfully just turns into yer standard hair-metal.
A lot of my friends were all over this Los Lobos album when it came out, but it never grabbed me then and it still doesn't. It's like Tom Waits barfed all over the control room when they recorded it.
A, just for kicks.

B for me, A is far too noisy.

Can't get into this round -- B by virtue that it isn't A.
