New Wave Survivor-Idol: Thunderous Three

Postby scramjet » Tue May 17, 2005 5:11 am

Simon & Co.: Please, please tell me now that you'll leave the island peacefully before I have to call the bouncers.

Three left. I had a hard time coming up with a descrptive word to describe the last three contestants that starts with T-H. Thrifty? Therapeutic? Theoretical? Even the thesaurus feature on dictionary.com was no help here.

Come on, vote! I know it's getting to be like choosing which of your children to throw to the sharks, but let's push it through to the finish.

You should have this figured out by now - Vote your LEAST FAVORITE off the island/stage.

Newcomers (who are welcome to vote, BTW) can check out previous rounds to see how we got here:
http://www.nwoutpost.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5970

Rankings from previous rounds:

4. Duran Duran
5. Devo
6. Talking Heads
7. Blondie
8. The Smiths
9. Depeche Mode
10. Human League
11. U2
12. The B-52's
13. Adam (and the) Ant(s)
14. R.E.M.

Which would you miss least from your island?

you need to attach an age group to this thing...The Clash were pretty much done by 82, when The Cure and N.O. were just getting going, so all these chillun out there won't know how really huge The Clash's influence was, and continues to be...

Sorry Joe...but I had to cut you guys out. It pains me to do this but alas for the sake of the NWO a choice must be made. You guys are still on my top ten list and I would run back into the fire to grab London Calling....but I would also grab like every

Am I the only person on this board who hates the Cure? In a hand to hand fight, the Clash would kick the Cure's arse anyday of the week.

Thank God, Duran Duran bit the dust! I have'nt made up my mind here. It looks like it's New Order's Island to rule really. The Clash were more of a punk act to me and The Cure borrowed all those Joy Division bass lines. Tough call.

Alright, I've made up my mind. I'm voting Duran Duran off the boat that's taking them off the island.

Had to chose New Order
