EXACTLY!!!!!!!

watching In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up right now :)

It's funny, I was talking about metal to this 23-24 year old guy I work with the other day and he was like, "You know who's a total headbanger band? Ministry!"

I was like, "Well I guess it depends which album you listen to."

The look of shock on his face when I told him they started out as a new wave band was priceless.

qft

did you play him All Day?

or Everyday is Halloween?

or even better....Revenge?

Why no mention of Alien Sex Fiend

I meant to send him "Everyday is Halloween" or basically anything from With Sympathy but I didn't get around to it and now the moment is flown.


x2 Paul. x2.

"you wouldn't listen
and i don't blame you"

Better yet, Effigy or Work For Love. I really like all the bands left, this is getting difficult. Honestly at this point I'm just arbitrarily picking things - except for Sisters Of Mercy. Sorry, I just can't get into them any more.

I need to stop coming into this thread because the pain of people eliminating my favourite bands is too intense. Leave Gang of Four and Jesus And Mary Chain alone you animals!

I know when JAMC, Pixies, and the Smiths are eliminated I'll feel a little hollow inside. What I don't know is how normal such a reaction should be. :laughing:

I'm just glad the guy didn't take on board my suggestions because if R.E.M. and Husker Du were being voted off so coldly I don't think I could withstand it. I'd hit the bottle.

If you could put down your votes each time it would be appreciated, that way I don't have to scroll back, and some people like to see what everyone has put down so they can vote strategically.

You still have one vote

Violent Femmes
-Skinny Puppy
-Pixies

Well two of my favourite bands (The Pogues/The Cult) were voted off in the first round.

I do notice that people tend to be coming from two different angles here. Both the Sisters of Mercy & Ministry were on the verge off being voted off once, so the only thing I can say, if you vote eventually that bands number will come up.

Finally I understand that everyone has emotional attachment to certain bands so its good to see everyone is keeping things civil, I can't believe you voted of the Pogues you fuc#in c#nts!!!! :)

when The Cure starts getting votes the fucking gloves come off!

Says he who votes The Smiths.

You know I probably shouldn't have used the C word in todays PC environment, but what can I say...dating Buffy has made me soft.


Anyhow present tally:

Echo & the Bunnymen 5, Jesus & Mary Chain 4, Sonic Youth 4, Sisters of Mercy 3, Gang of Four 2, Violent Femmes 2, Public Image limited 2, Nick Cave 2, Skinny Puppy 2, Smiths 2, Cramps 1, Pixies 1, Ministry 1

The Bunnymen got skewered so there out.

I don't want to vote more than two off per round and because there is a tie between Jesus & Mary Chain & Sonic Youth, I added up the previous votes from the last round, so former has gone to meet there maker, and Sonic Youth lives to fight another day.

I feel really bad voting off Skinny Puppy and Ministry because I don't know their stuff well AT ALL but if I kept abstaining they'd end up winning. I'm sure they're great but I haven't quite delved in enough yet to know so they get my vote.

Also I don't think many of the bands left are really 'winner' material, maybe one or two. We'll see what happens.
