Who won’t be in round 4:
12. The Kinks (9 points)
11. The Smiths (9)
And a few close calls: Led Zeppelin (9), The Beach Boys (9),Stevie Wonder (8)
Please Note: Due to the tie to exit this week, the number of votes each artist received was take into account. The Kinks and the Smiths each received 6, whereas Zep and the Beach Boys received 5 each. So, Led Zeppelin and the Beach Boys can breath easy.
I have also decided to extend voting against two artists until we get to a top 6. However, only one artist will be eliminated weekly from now until the end.

Now, let the games begin! We are down to 10 artists. Here, please post two artists want you off the “Island” out of the remaining artists. Please see the Rules Thread for the complete set of rules. Remember that one artist get 2 points and the next gets 1.

The Remaining Artists:
The Beach Boys, The Clash, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Prince, R.E.M., The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Neil Young

ladies and gentlemen, we are down to ten! From here one out, it's bloody war each week as we say goodbye to one.

I like a lot of stuff by both artists, but both artists also have a good amount of material I'm not really into.

By all logic The Kinks should be on the verge of a reunion. "I’m seeing Dave next week," Ray Davies tells Rolling Stone in a new interview. "I hear that Dave is saying stuff in the press like, 'I’ll do it, but Ray doesn’t want to do it.' This is me saying, 'Ray will do it if Dave does it.'"

With both Davies brothers on board a reunion should be imminent, but Kinks fans have been teased like this for the 15 years and it never seems to happen. They came close to reuniting with the original line-up in the early 2000s, but that was derailed when bassist Peter Quaife started to develop severe kidney problems. "It's all water under the bridge now," Dave Davies told Rolling Stone shortly after Quaife died in June of 2010. "There was talking of doing weekends in New York with the four of us, but now we shall never know."

To me everything the Beach Boys did before Pet Sounds was bad, and everything after the Smile recordings was only okay.

A few other groups left did some bad stuff, but not in the prime of their careers, and they had longer stretches of good material.

And, erm, Pet Sounds is in my top 100 AT, but every other band left has at least one album I like better.

2 - Jimi Hendrix
1 - REM

-2 Led Zeppelin
-1 R.E.M.

-2 R.E.M.
-1 Led Zep

Voting is now over for the week.
