We'll forgive ghosty who must be from Florida.

Season 2 results:
1. Echo & the Bunnymen
1. The Police
3. Siouxsie & the Banshees
4. Simple Minds
5. The Cars
6. A Flock of Seagulls
7. OMD

9. Elvis Costello

See the final round of Season 2 here:

http://www.nwoutpost.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6542

Don't worry, there will be a rematch. Here's the plan. I'm going to do this again with 15 new bands. Then we'll have a championship round with the top 5 from each season. Then I'm retiring from this business and passing on the franchise to whoever wants it.

I'm taking nominations for Season 3. Here are some candidates in no particular order:

Ramones
English Beat
Yaz(oo)
Split Enz
Oingo Boingo
Ultravox
The Fixx
Joe Jackson
The Knack
Joy Division
Berlin
Thompson Twins
Kate Bush
Peter Gabriel
Japan
Pretenders
English Beat
Roxy Music
Gang of Four
Eurythmics
Midnight Oil
David Bowie

Give me your yeas or nays on this list or give me some other suggestions. I'll be away from the internet until the middle of next week, but I'll try to get Season 3 started before long.

Ya, I'm pretty sure if you brought back the bands that were voted off, they'd all give the Police the boot and vote for Echo. The Police didn't get any water, chop firewood, etc.

I am so relieved it came to a TIE, at least! ... but really, Echo should have won in a landslide!!!
