Who’s losing their religion (and a place on the island):
10. R.E.M. (10 points)

It was close all week between the Beach Boys (8) and the Clash (8), but R.E.M. received some late week votes that sent them packing. Also of note: Led Zeppelin (7)

Now, let the games begin! We are down to 9 artists. Here, please post two 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 2 points and the next gets 1.

The Remaining Artists:
The Beach Boys, The Clash, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Prince, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Neil Young

-2 Beach Boys
-1 The Clash

Very odd how the Clash had recieved no votes in the weeks leading up to this round, and then got flooded with them.

-2 Led Zeppelin
-1 The Clash

-2 Beach Boys
-1 Clash

-2 Neil Young
-1 Stevie Wonder

-2 Prince
-1 Clash

My favorite artist remaining has just been eliminated:. Now I'm all for Stevie, Prince and Bruce!

-2: Led Zeppelin
-1: Jimi Hendrix

-2 The Beach Boys -- Why are they still here???
-1 Neil Young -- Least favorite of the rest...

-2 Stevie Wonder
-1 Jimi Hendrix

-2 The Clash

-2 The Clash
-1 Prince

-2 Beach Boys

I obviously love Neil, but it is a bit of a surprise to me that Led Zeppelin has lasted so long. Usually there's some hard rock backlash on this site.

@SR: It's great! Three of my top 5 artists are still here.

Unfortunately, I have to end this week a few hours early. I won't be around later.
