For a moment there, I thought someone had died. Then I looked at the tags, and I see that you are mourning the B-list on RR. Well, I’d rather lose that than Van the Man or Tom Petty. And besides, lists can be resurrected – not so sure about musicians!
It’s kind of a shame, but I don’t feel that strongly about it.
I thought that Van Morrsion had died with this thread too. Not really bothered about the B list, rarely get on either list, but sorry to hear that it’s upsetting to other people.
Sorry everyone! Never occurred to me that it would be taken as an obit for Van or TP. And glad everyone is posting B / be / bee tunes.
I said last week on the results thread that i didn’t really care if the B list was 86′d or not. But i was very sad to see it not there today. I think the b-list was better than the a sometimes, and a good blace for good tunes under the radar.

Think you’ll ever get The Constipation Song A-listed? See, we probably won’t see stuff like that listed anymore.
I worry constantly about TP dying, because he’s been such a heavy smoker for so long. (He is trying to give up now but I don’t know how successful he’s being.)
Weirdly I thought you were saying Van had died as well!
I’m a bit sorry to see it go – it always seemed like something I could aim for, yet weirdly I’ve managed to get more A listers than B listers. I suppose it makes less sense now that there isn’t an A List printed in the paper. I’ve just noticed that the B Lists seem to be missing from all the old posts, so for posterity and for my own self indulgence – the Wyngate B Listers
Opening Lines – can’t help thinking Paul Mac picked the B List with a pin for this topic, and the whole topic suggested he wanted a break from listening to our choices, but who cares. Here’s one of the most incongruous sights in the history of Top Of The Pops
Elections – should have been a A Lister I reckon, but anyway
Fetishes – this man had to be there for this topic
Taj Mahal and “Queen Bee” – there’s a better version with Taj and Toumani Diabate but I can’t find a link and I’m not signed in to Dropbox at the mo as I only have a pathetic little laptop:
Phew, you had me worried there, amy

Here are some King Bees from Lincolnshire.

Bee Dream
B My Baby
Oh, and and…Beeswing! (A village near here.)

Weird. Than was me (Amylee) , but WP didn’t keep my name that time.

Probably as successful as i am, but i’m not even trying.
(Amy, i don’t know wtf is up with this format, but i’m too lazy to login whenever i post.)
TFD – this song came on shuffle when I was driving home today, and I thought you may like it cos it kinda channels TP a bit
I do like it! Thank you, Blimpy. (But what happens – does he just give up in the middle?)
I think it’s the ‘leave your audience wanting more’ school of thought – 2.41!
I believe i may have located the problem. I seemed to have been logged in on Safari before. Hopefully it should work on FF.
“Evil Bee” – Menomena – this is probs the 3rd time I’ve posted this video on the ‘Spill over the years, but it is truly phenomenal!

Actually, good idea to post your B-listers! I’m minded to do it myself in the near future.
Taj Mahal and “Queen Bee” – there’s a better version with Taj and Toumani Diabate but I can’t find a link and I’m not signed in to Dropbox at the mo as I only have a pathetic little laptop:
Allow me, Ali (it was on one of the CDs you gave me!)
Queen Bee by Taj Mahal and Toumani Diabate
Thanks tfd. I seem to be having technical problems tonight!
May B after he’s gone . . . Peter Hammill might get another sniff at a list – A or B
How about one that was a dodgy pun to start with
Siouxsie & The Banshees – B Side Ourselves (it was a B Side – see what they did?)
Don’t forget Arthur Askey!
Look away, Mitch!
A change can always be an opportunity. Could you not all consider taking turns to compile a weekly B List after JonD publishes the A list?
Or we could turn it over to Shane ….. Pass the hat around for the 50 quid.
surely….
Melt Banana – “Free The Bee”
It’s gotta be
but could be
And here’s one of my favorite Bs ( TP for A tonight)
Cool post Amy.
Something has to be done. It will be like nicotine withdrawal.
In Reg mode — it has to bee
Thanks SpottedRich, duh.
So, do we have enough for a Bee List yet?
…and what do we call the next best 10 songs that didn’t make the Bee List?
Scritti – Wood Beez
Wire – Ear Drum Buzz
Fops – Yellowjacket Corpse
Would make a great RR topic.
