Re: AM Survivor: Round 4, Week 9 (The Final Week!!!!!!)

-1 The Rolling Stones

However, it's very close for me. Summing up my top 10s might even give the edge to the Stones, but overall I'm sticking to Bruce.

1. Born to Run
2. Exile on Main St.
3. Sticky Fingers
4. Born in the U.S.A.
5. Darkness on the Edge of Town
6. Let It Bleed
7. Nebraska
8. Aftermath, Beggars Banquet & The Wild, the Innocent... (tied)

1. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
2. Gimme Shelter
3. Born to Run
4. Hungry Heart
5. Paint It, Black
6. You Can't Always Get What You Want
7. Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out
8. Wild Horses
9. Badlands
10. Cover Me

-1 Bruce. Farewell.

-1 Bruce Springsteen

Interesting final, I can't complain.

Re: AM Survivor: Round 4, Week 9 (The Final Week!!!!!!)

I think the most interesting part about this poll is looking at the old top 10:
10. R.E.M. (10)
9. The Who (57)
8. The Beach Boys (8)
7. Neil Young(7)
6. The Velvet Underground (64)
5. Radiohead (62)
4. David Bowie (70)
3. The Rolling Stones (1 or 2)
2. Bob Dylan (85)
1. The Beatles (72)

Interesting how REM, The Beach Boys and Neil Young all remained the same.

In parenthese, where they finished this time.

Re: AM Survivor: Round 4, Week 9 (The Final Week!!!!!!)

Is there a difference between the artists that were voted out early this time and those that were not? Do the eliminated artists have bigger groups of non-fans? Did the early elimination of favorites make the game more or less interesting?

Re: AM Survivor: Round 4, Week 9 (The Final Week!!!!!!)

Funny that I unintetionally saw this thread exactly while I was begining to listen to Nebraska. This time I'm all for Bruce!

-1: Rolling Stones

I think it made for a much interesting game the fact that the usual favorites were eliminated before, specially The Beatles (as much as I like them, I must agree it was better), Dylan and Radiohead. The best thing was seeing which are the artists that rise the least grade of rejection, like Stevie, Prince, Neil Young, Sly & the Family Stone, R.E.M., etc.
It was awesome to the Blur in this group for so much time, taking them to a much better position this time than in the last game, as long as in comparison to their AM rank (and they finished as the highest '90s band in the game!).
Other great things were the high placement of Arcade Fire and Wilco, given that they were classified in that "recap" round.
And, of course, there was that incredible persistence of Led Zeppelin during more that 15 weeks of imminently elimination (with me almost always trying to help eliminating them, hahah)!!!

Love you guys, but you can't compete with the Boss.

It would be interesting to see if the low results for The Beatles, Dylan, Bowie, VU, The Who and Radiohead are repeated next year. I doubt it.

If the low ratings are repeated, I think those ratings would have more meaning than merely being reflective of a strategy effectively deployed to keep things interesting by eliminating some favorites early in the competition.

Re: AM Survivor: Round 4, Week 9 (The Final Week!!!!!!)

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
After 10 months, I close the voting for the final time.
