I've got plenty of suggestions already, but if you got any more, post 'em here:

NOTICE:

 

 

Next time I make a poll for new eliminations to vote for, I will have A LOT of artists to add to my "Up Next" list. Not just 10 - thinking maybe 30. I select these artists by how many votes they get from everyone - the ones with most votes move on to become eliminations.

 

However, I understand that some people haven't heard an artist's entire discography (I may have added Buckethead just to fire you guys up... we won't do any eliminations of him) - some which can be just from hearing their most popular albums, etc.

Some discographies have one album that is a 10/10 masterpiece, and a few others, not even close.

 

I don't think we'll have much more discographies to go for that have more than 6 people on here who enjoy a bunch of their material -

so, where I am trying to get at is - if there is an artist that has one, two, or three 10/10 or very fantastic albums, the rest you either haven't heard before or you think are in no way close to the greatness of one album, I'd still suggest you to vote for it. Even if there's just ONE amazing album an artist has, we should still do the elimination - that way, this album can move on to the top secret competition at the very end.

Well this is tough. I've only heard everything from the debut through Afterburner, and all of it is great. Some of it is a bit more great than the rest, but it's still very hard to vote to eliminate any of them.

Hey there's really not much reason to include Fandango if you're only considering Side B. Isn't Bad Girl off of Eliminator also a live song?

La Futura is excellent. A touch of Rick Rubin doesn`t seem to do any harm to late-career artists.

So you mean to tell me it's not like this?

 

I do need to check that one out.

Not listened to much since Afterburner. Not because it's bad per se, just haven't got round to it. Difficult to contribute fairly to this poll (not that it stops some people :P)
