JohnnyBlaze Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 The best way to keep your favorite would be to make it immune and vote to eliminate everything else, yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Heck, I didn't expect Queen to outlast Yes and AC/DC. No matter what goes out next I'm calling this a win. tough choice, and Rick is about to hate me, but I'm voting against VH and BS. Neither of which are quite in that uppermost tier of love for me. The other five are all easy contenders for some of my favorite bands of all time, and Queen is obviously my number one anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen’s not done yet and they deserve to go this far imho. They could go down to the last 3, and even steal it all. So why would anything but #1 be called a win?

JohnnyBlaze Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 The best way to keep your favorite would be to make it immune and vote to eliminate everything else, yeah? Unless I’m misunderstanding how your system works, this is how I’m thinking: I immunize my band (+1) and eliminate everything else (-1). This gives the band a leg up on everything else from there. Now that’s not to stop others from eliminating mine if enough votes accumulate. BUT through my blanket elimination, everything else already has 1 elimination vote which will (of course) be added to the other elimination votes that pile up.

I’ll demonstrate now...Currently, (before i edit my voting) these are the elimination votes: Beatles 1, Sabbath 2, LZ 2, Floyd 4, Queen 6, RS 3, VH 5. After I delete then revote to eliminate everything but Floyd the elimination votes become: Beatles 2, Sabbath 3, LZ 3, Floyd 4 (no change because I’m not eliminating them), Queen 6 (no change because I voted that way originally), RS 3 (no change because I voted that way originally), VH 6.

I didn't expect that you love Rolling Stones more than Black Sabbath. That's really surprising to me. The Stones and The Beatles were really integral when I was first getting into rock in junior high. So in the case of The Stones, yes I now have many of their classic studio albums and think they're great, but it's their early hits which actually won me over in the first place. I could talk all day about whether the run from Beggars Banquet through Exile On Main Street is better than Black Sabbath through Sabatoge, but I can't tell you any Sabbath songs I'm as nostalgic for as Time Is On My Side, 19th Nervous Breakdown, or Get Off Of My Cloud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not going to make it past this round, lol. I know it's not an unpopular opinion to think they were a singles band and their albums don't hold together, and that's bound to show up at some point. I'm just surprised it took the non-fans this long to get together to eliminate them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you out of your f*cking mind!? :) In all seriousness EP, you'll never catch flak from me for not liking a band I like as much as I do, or even at all. You like what you like. You're respectful of others' opinions, which is not the same thing as agreeing with them or not commenting on them. You're thoughtful in your posts, but you're not above poking fun at yourself. You're dead wrong here, of course, but that's of little consequence. :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithrandir Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 VH is the outlier of those left. Not even close to the greatness of the other bands. Love me some VH, but come on man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek19 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) I was thinking that hopefully, the immune, and eliminate votes were counted correctly. For anything, and something like this, it was done differently before. Edited August 26, 2020 by Derek19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it`s because my exposure to them in the early 80s was singles that all seemed... well, let`s leave it there. Just not for me at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezJem Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I guess I`ll be shifting my vote to immunise BS. I`ve been doing some yardwork and stuff the last week or so and had them on a loop and think I`ll clean up on the records missing from from my collection.
