AM Survivor: Round 1, Week 9

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.

No need to vote against Frank anymore as far as I can tell, he is already off the island based on Midaso's vote.

Good point, I didn't realize he was taking that much of a beating when I -3'd him.

Re: AM Survivor: Round 1, Week 9

Loving all the Sinatra hate. Mission accomplished.

Re: AM Survivor: Round 1, Week 9

I wouldn't call it Sinatra hate so much as 'Lesser Sinatra like'.

Re: AM Survivor: Round 1, Week 9

Screw you all, long live Sinatra!

Re: AM Survivor: Round 1, Week 9

Might as well take this opportunity for the first time in weeks Tom Waits hasn't been immune (and it could be our last opportunity for awhile):

4 - Tom Waits
3 - Steely Dan
2 - Massive Attack
1 - Beastie Boys

Henry (last week)
-4 Beastie Boys
-3 Pixies
-2 Velvet Underground
-1 Prince


Greg (last week)
-4 Velvet Underground
-3 Elton John
-2 Beastie Boys
-1 Arcade Fire


BillAdama (this week)
-4 Frank Sinatra
-3 Elvis Presley
-2 Beastie Boys
-1 Buddy Holly and the Crickets


Henry, although you have already voted, I noticed that last week, you, Greg and I were the only 3 people to vote for Beastie Boys, and they almost got the boot. Also, I noticed that BillAdama voted for them this week. If the four of us each send the Beastie Boys 4 points next week (week 10), they could easily be gone! What do you guys think?

Re: AM Survivor: Round 1, Week 9

-4 Beastie Boys (sorry Beastie fans, just trying to keep The Velvet Underground in the running)
-3 The Doors
-2 Steely Dan
-1 Nirvana

I'm a big Beastie fan, but I certainly wouldn't complain if VU make it another week.

I expect that next week, I will be voting against Waits, VU, Beastie Boys and Pixies - unless one of these is eliminated this week, or has immunity next week. Waits would likely get -4, and Beastie Boys -3 as far as I can tell today. But, that's just because I don't mind listening to the Beastie Boys nearly as much as I mind listening to Waits.

Re: AM Survivor: Round 1, Week 9

whatever happened, this week's voting is over
