Who’s Fallen off the cliff:

74. Pink Floyd (14)
73. Public Enemy (13)
Who’s living on the edge: The Beatles (12), Massive Attack (10), Elton John (10), Roxy Music (10)
Note: Since Bob Dlyan was eliminated with 8 points, the fewest an artist that has been voted off has received is 12. Sucks.

Now, let the games begin! We are down to 72 artists. Here, please post four 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 4 points, the next gets 3, and so on.

-4 Beastie Boys
-3 Pixies
-2 Velvet Underground
-1 Prince

-4 The Beatles
-3 Massive Attack
-2 Portishead
-1 Miles Davis

If anyone puts David Bowie as their 3 pointer, I'll put your 4 pointer as my 3 pointer.

Unless it's one of the following:
White Stripes, Neil Young, Velvet Underground, REM, Prince, Jimi Hendrix, Nick Drake, Beck, Pixies

Same deal if you put him as your 2 pointer or 1 pointer.

I still think he's the biggest threat to win. He'll be hard to get out now, but even harder when there are fewer elimination slots per week. Notice he's the highest finisher in the artist poll who nobody has really targeted yet.

-4 Steely Dan
-3 The Doors
-2 Roxy Music
-1 Elton John

I really think that the over-strategizing is getting old. I'm still voting for artists that I think aren't good.

-4 Elton John
-3 Fleetwood Mac
-2 Bob Marley
-1 Buddy Holly

Why vote out good artists when these are still in?

Although I have been voting strategically in this edition of "Survivor," it is because at this point in the game, I'm only casting votes against artists I don't really like that much to begin with. I wouldn't cast a "strategic" vote against an artist I like!

I don't really care which order the ones I don't like leave in, and if I see that others have already casted their votes against them, I would gladly take an opportunity to get rid of one of the artists I don't like that much anyways ( especially if it helps the chances of one of my favourite artists staying in the game).

I could easily vote for 20 different artists this week, but I can only cast my votes against 4. So I might as well make my votes count, instead of throwing four points at an artist nobody else is voting for.

-4 The Beatles
-3 Elton John
-2 The Who
-1 Frank Sinatra

Good news, Zappa is finally gone, bad news... who is going to be my minus 4 now...

(-4) The Velvet Underground
(-3) Nick Drake
(-2) Kraftwerk
(-1) Leonard Cohen

-4 Van Morrisson
-3 Johnny Cash
-2 Bruce Springsteen
-1 The Beach Boys

-4 The Beatles
-3 David Bowie
-2 Nirvana
-1 Radiohead

-4 Prince
-3 The Beatles
-2 New Order
-1 Aretha Franklin

-4 Frank Sinatra
-3 Roxy Music
-2 Pulp
-1 PJ Harvey

How can we vote out Pink Floyd (among others) before Sinatra is even in danger?!?!

-4 PJ Harvey
-3 Roxy Music
-2 David Bowie
-1 Steely Dan

Just for the heck of it, BillAdama.

-4: David Bowie
-3: The Doors
-2: The Velvet Underground
-1: Kraftwerk

It looks like no amount of strategic voting will keep the Beatles safe this week!

4 - Beastie Boys
3 - The Stooges
2 - Nick Drake
1 - PJ Harvey

-4 The Byrds
-3 Buddy Holly & the Crickets
-2 The Who
-1 Wilco

-4 Roxy Music
-3 David Bowie
-2 Sonic Youth
-1 Buddy Holly

-4 Roxy Music
-3 Elvis Costello
-2 Steely Dan
-1 Elton John

For the record, my 4 favourite artists in the island are :
1) Elliott Smith
2) Beastie Boys
3) Radiohead
4) Arcade Fire

AM posters are just as male-centric as most critics.

-4 The Beatles
-3 Frank Sinatra
-2 James Brown
-1 Leonard Cohen

-3 The Beatles
-2 PJ Harvey
-1 Arcade Fire
