-4 Bob Marley
-3 Buddy Holly
-2 T Rex
-1 Smashing Pumpkins

-4 Leonard Cohen
-3 Pixies
-2 Joy Division
-1 Lou Reed

Same deal for the Beach Boys as I put forth for David Bowie a few weeks ago. If you make them your -3, I will make your -4 my -3, if you make them your -2, I will make your -4 my -2, etc. Only now, if you make them your -4, I will vote the same -4 as you next week.

The only ones I won't vote for are: Jimi Hendrix, Prince, The White Stripes, Neil Young, Pixies

Jackson- T Rex is immune
Henry- This week was the twist week, so you vote will count twice next week.

-4 Van Morrisson
-3 Johnny Cash
-2 Bruce Springsteen
-1 Creedence Clearwater Revival

-4 Portishead (what's so great about them that people vote off the Who,The Beatles,Bob Dylan before another vote is even cast for them?)
-3 Miles Davis
-2 Outkast
-1 James Brown

Having Kraftwerk immune makes it harder to come up with a (-4).

(-4) Leonard Cohen
(-3) Michael Jackson
(-2) Lou Reed
(-1) Creedence Clearwater Revival

-4 Smashing Pumpkins
-3 The Smiths
-2 Sonic Youth
-1 Lou Reed

-4 Elvis Costello
-3 Bob Marley and the Wailers
-2 The Jam
-1 Smashing Pumpkins

-4 PJ Harvey
-3 Arcade Fire
-2 Smashing Pumpkins
-1 Portishead

4 - Joy Division
3 - PJ Harvey
2 - Portishead
1 - The Stooges

-4 PJ Harvey
-3 Joy Division
-2 The Smiths
-1 Buddy Holly & The Crickets

-4 Beach Boys
-3 Bob Marley
-2 Buddy Holly
-1 Blur

Nobody else wants to get the Beach Boys out? I've got nothing against them, I just think they'll be hard to get out later, and that their pre-Pet Sounds output is a bit too hook-driven and surfing-obsessed.

I'm trying to figure out why every one's voting off the possible champions instead of srtists that aren't as hot. I mean how is T Rex still in? They came in 81 the first time around. I know part of it is moonbeam, but still.

- 4: The Doors (there was a time everybody was voting against them, and they almost got eliminated, but now they don't appear in any other list anymore, what happened, guys?)
-3: Bob Marley and the wailers
-2: Van Morrison
-1: The Smiths

-4 The Doors
-3 Lou Reed
-2 The Jam
-1 Van Morrison

Why didn't anyone vote for The Doors? They stick out to me as clearly the worst of the artists remaining.

-4 Creedence Clearwater Revival
-3 Led Zeppelin
-2 James Brown
-1 The Rolling Stones

-4 Bob Marley and the Wailers
-3 Leonard Cohen
-2 The Byrds
-1 The Smashing Pumpkins

I will gladly send 4 points to T. Rex the first week they aren't immune.

I'm glad that I could extend T. Rex's run. I didn't participate in the Immunity contest this week, so it looks like this week will be their last. Nevertheless, it's a good result for an artist that I believe is underrated around here.

Nobody at all voting for Nirvana?

4. Nirvana
3. The White Stripes
2. The Jam
1. Sonic Youth

-4 The Doors
-3 Buddy Holly
-2 Portishead
-1 The White Stripes

sorry for the delay. Voting this week has expired.
