I’m out of original ideas, so here’s who’s gone:
72. The Beatles (22 points)
71. Roxy Music (16)
70. David Bowie (16)
69. Elton John (12)
And who’s close to it: Velvet Underground (12), Frank Sinatra (11), Beastie Boys (10)
Note: Although Elton John and the VU finished tied with points, Elton appeared on more ballots.
Also of note: 3 of the artists that made it to the top 5 in the original AM Survivor are already gone.
Now, let the games begin! We are down to 68 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.

No special deals this week, I can be happy that I killed Bowie. The blood feud has been settled. Now I'm just targeting groups other people are also targeting that I don't like as much as the other acts.
You're welcome, Doucheneck. Next target-to-go: some 14 years old lesbian in a wheelchair, hope you're feeling happy now.

Loving all the Sinatra hate. Mission accomplished.
I wouldn't call it Sinatra hate so much as 'Lesser Sinatra like'.

Screw you all, long live Sinatra!
