Anybody surprised that I'm voting for A? Can you say "wheelhouse?"
Quick note of appreciation for B, though, as long as we're here. They do one thing, they do it extremely well, and they're not prone to pondering or overexpounding. I would have voted for this in most of the other rounds so far.

Tough choice, and not in a good sense.
A has scraped the bottom of the barrel so hard that you can feel the splinters in your mouth. The track has some nice things and not a bad groove but there are some chord changes that sound forced and make the song quite not work.
Most of us have some sympathy for Bon era ACDC, but B is so unremarkable that seems a weird pick for a cup. Yeah, it's their thing, no less, but no more.
Reluctantly

I don't know about A. It's the sort of slightly-obscure soul pick that does well in these cups, but it's not doing much for me this evening. It just sounds like a load of other things.
I like AC/DC's early stuff quite a bit. (I'm sure this one has come up in previous competitions!). So I'm giving it to
B
