-4 Pink Floyd
-3 David Bowie
-2 Frank Zappa
-1 Buddy Holly
Anyone who doesn't want Bowie to win should vote for him in force now. I consider him the odds on favorite with this group. If we ever want him out we better do it now.

-4 Frank Sinatra (U2, Bob Dylan and Little Richard lost to this shit? COme on people, get with the program!)
-3 Pulp (One song doesn't make an artist.)
-2 Roxy Music (Vote for them before Moonbeam wins immunity again!)
-1 Tom Waits (That voice...)

Why is it Bowie and not the Beatles?
Nobody wants the Beatles to win because they always win everything.

Tom Waits had immunity. Also, while "Common People" is light years ahead of anything else Pulp did, their albums "Different Class" and "This is Hardcore" are quite brilliant.
(-4) Zappa!!!
(-3) The Beatles ~~~ Getting started now, they will start getting minus 4's once Zappa is finally eliminated...
(-2) Kraftwerk
(-1) Leonard Cohen

Wow, I'm a retard! Alrighty, I guess i'll give the -1 to zappa.
How did I do that?
-4 Roxy Music
-3 Elvis Costello
-2 Steely Dan
-1 Elton John
Those just are the 4 artists I enjoy the less on the remaining list.
I don't like all those "strategic" votes, I like AM when you vote for what you really like (or here dislike, or like else). If that trend continues, I will stop voting here, it is becoming completely silly and, I dare say, a bit hysterical.

I will always vote unstrategically in AM games, but in Survivor it's kind of part of the game and everyone else seemed to be doing it so I figured I might as well join in.
Vote 'em back in,the same people will just get rid of them again...
True, but by then the highest point value will be -2, so it will be harder to eliminate them.
Interesting convarsation about strategy. I personally vote the artists I don't like, or artists that are pissing me off (ie Radiohead after Paranoid Andriod beat Strawberry Fields Forever in Bracketology).
I think strategy is acceptable in this game...to a point.

I'm no big fan of strategic voting, but it doesn't bother me at all. No need to get sanctimonious - it's a game that is (I think) supposed to be fun. At least that's my take.
Looks like Nassim's vote against Elton John boots Elton from the island.
In most cases I hate strategic voting in these games. But, AM Survivor is the exception. I think AM Survivor is a game that encourages strategic voting. It's part of what makes it fun.
If you don't want strategy, don't call it 'Survivor'.

Well, if you want to call it 'Survivor' you should vote strategically but without knowing what everybody else has voted against.
Tweo things:
1. NEW RULE- No changing your vote. That is a real low blow, even if this game is about strategy.
2. I foyu want to keep you favorite artists in this game, DO THE IMMUNITYT CHALLENGES. Even if you are thinking, "It doesn't matter, they'll get back", the people that win the immune challenges get to decide.

Sorry about that, Listguy. You do not have to change my vote. I understand :) A week or two ago, someone mentioned that they were considering changing their vote. I didn't realize this was frowned upon! Didn't mean to cause a new low!
