This was the very
first B List though it wasn't called that. Dorian
introduced it as follows:
Readers grumbling about the usual
Cash/Cave overload gave me the idea of printing an
alternative, canonical playlist here and freeing up
the main one for more unusual songs. Here's what it
might have looked like...
This was not the first time Dorian
introduced an alternative list however. On two
previous occasions he published lists of the songs
that were most popular by tallying up their votes in
the blog. These were for
Cover Songs and
Songs about London.
