Who’s left a good job on the island:
36. Wilco (15 points)
35. Nirvana (10)
34. Creedence Clearwater Revival (10)
Who’s in danger of being fired: Blur (8), Lou Reed (9), The Smiths (8)
Another one of my favorites bites the dust. Down to four in my top 10.
Now, let the games begin! We are down to 33 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 3 points, the next gets 2, and so on.
Jonathon won the Immunity Challenge last week, so I need him to decide who’s immune this week.
The Remaining Artists:
The Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, Blur, James Brown, Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, The Clash, Sam Cooke, Miles Davis, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Jimi Hendrix, Michael Jackson, Joy Division, The Kinks, Led Zeppelin, Curtis Mayfield, OutKast, Elvis Presley, Prince, Otis Redding, Lou Reed, R.E.M., The Rolling Stones, Simon and Garfunkel, Sly and the Family Stone, The Smiths, Sonic Youth, Bruce Springsteen, Talking Heads, Stevie Wonder, Neil Young
Listyguy, my internet has been down. I'm doing this from my cellphone. My immunity choice is Sonic Youth. My elimination choices are Blur -3 (i like Blur, but ive never understood the respect for such a surfacey pop band), Outkast - 2, and Al Green -1.
Those are some pretty awesome artists that got kicked off last week. Although I can certainly see why Nirvana is divisive and why some might find Wilco and CCR a little "meh."
-3 The Smiths
-2 Al Green
-1 Lou Reed
I like some songs by all of these artists, but with maybe Reed as the exception I don't really love a lot of work by them. And I think most of The Smiths works are awful.
