I look at it this way:

There are many books on the shelf; you can pick the one you like the most.
I have only two T-shirts at the moment. You can take the one you like more.

I understand that, but can't you say that you decided to see this band because you like it more than the other bands that were playing at that moment?

So the question remains, are both sentences possible?

ACSTWhich of the following sentences is correct?

I would change "don't" to "didn't" because the rest of the sentence is all in the past tense.
A should probably have "a band you liked more" because there may have been several that you liked more than the one you didn't like.
B can remain "the band you liked most" because there can only be one "most liked band".

Aside from those things, yes, they are both OK.

Thanks you very much.

ACST Thanks you very much.

You're welcome.

Note: Thanks (very much) has the "s". But omit "s" when you add "you": Thank you (very much).

OK?
