Re: Am Survivor: Round 1, Week 1

This means there must be a Beatles song you can stand,if John Lennon is the preferred pick...

Not necessarily. I know John Lennon at least has a chance to be eliminated.

Re: Am Survivor: Round 1, Week 1

-4 John Lennon
-3 Cream (I'm happy about the 4 other inductions by the way)
-2 Elvis Costello
-1 Steely Dan

I'm horrified to already see so many votes for the B-Boys (and that Run DMC have been kicked out that soon)

EDITED because I forgot The Smiths had immunity.

Re: Am Survivor: Round 1, Week 1

Black Sabbath (-4)
Primal Scream (-3)
Joy Division (-2)
Joni Mitchell (-1)

Re: Am Survivor: Round 1, Week 1

I'm kicking myself...Queen was 1 point shy of being voted in, and I only gave them 1 point in the loophole round because I saw so many others voting for them!

And life goes on...

-4 The Cure
-3 Bjork
-2 Little Richard
-1 Neil Young

While it would be very amusing to watch these 4 artists have dinner together, they can do it on some other island. The tribe has spoken.

Re: Am Survivor: Round 1, Week 1

-4 The Doors
-3 Metallica
-2 Cream (how did that happen?)
-1 Steely Dan

I suppose I’m becoming more broadminded about music, since it’s the first week and I already have one artist on my list (the Dan) that I don’t dislike.

Re: Am Survivor: Round 1, Week 1

Let's say goodbye to...

-4 Guns N Roses
-3 The Police
-2 Nick Cave
-1 Patti Smith (I dislike the fact that she gets in on the basis of one great album, whereas bands like TVOTR and Blondie don't get in despite being consistently brilliant).

Re: Am Survivor: Round 1, Week 1

-4 Frank Zappa
-3 Patti Smith
-2 The White Stripes
-1 Kraftwerk

Never understood any of these artists - especially Frank Zappa, who simply makes weird music and that's it.

That is wrong, but so is the fact that Metallica is probably gonna beat AC/DC and Black Sabbath, the bands that made them.

Re: Am Survivor: Round 1, Week 1

Can I change my vote for The Jam to Metallica (2 points)? I was listening to some Jam and they shouldn't go yet. Not that it matters since neither will leave the island, but whatever.
