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 20 or 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.

 

 

 

Winners so far:

 

AC/DC - Highway To Hell (1979)

The Beatles - Revolver (1966)

Black Sabbath - Master Of Reality (1971)

I like that you acknowledged the bottom of the barrel. How they continued without Morrison is a head scratcher. Contractual obligations?

 

The Doors made me interested in music and being a musician. Because of this, I have spent about 30 years studying Morrison and the band.

 

My take is that at the time, they seemed to be fine to continue without him. They gave it a shot, but did not have a wordman like Morrison to fill that gap.

 

When L.A. Woman was completed, their original contract to Elektra was fulfilled (one of several things Morrison wanted done before he left the U.S.).

The six Morrison albums are all masterpieces. I love The Doors more than any other sixties band, though Beatles is a super close second.
