I came THIS close to picking a different Gorillaz track. sadly, I've heard "Clint Eastwood" a "Sugar Sugar"/"who let the dogs out" number of times. not exactly a point in it's favor.
the other one is okay. nostalgia is a heady drug. BUT I motherfucking HATED "Dreamweaver" and somebody must pay.

p.s. if anybody sees G8 please call the phone number on one of the flyers plastered all over your neighborhood.

I loved "Dream Weaver!"
Gary Wright is another person whose music I've never been a huge fan of that I've always heard is a nice guy. George Harrison sure liked him.
Anyway, I digress - picking him is kind of cool, but not one of his two overplayed songs. Never owned an album by him, but I bet the Dreamweaver album at least has some stuff on it that's at least this good that I haven't heard a thousand times.
A is a concept I can get behind, and I do like it musically - nice melodica in particular! - though I do think the appeal is rather limited to 'oh, that's kind of cool' rather than something of any serious musical import.
Enough to win here, though.

As I pointed out AT THE TIME, in the RIGHT PLACE, there were probems with the video for one of the picks, and I was waiting for a replacement. That has arrived and the tie is now up. sheesh, some people...

not a fan of albarn's voice, especially when it doesn't have a good to song to back it up.
wright is too overwrought.

I quite like A, without being wild about it. It lopes along pleasantly enough, but, like a lot of Albarn's stuff, there's a scrappy, insubstantial feel to it. B was shocking really, is there some ironic intent I'm missing here?

I agree with pretty much every comment made so far, having said that.

It really isn't, only an INDIE BOY would think that. This is like an early version of Huey Lewis, very different to the slinky grooves of a Ned Doheny. One is the sun setting in Malibu, the other is a shopping mall in Des Moines. Blimey John I tried to help you out this round too, I may have to go back and edit my vote!

With G here. B is the kind of thing everybody is expected to hate here.
A just had to breath to win. And it's perfectly ok.
