god why is dredg still in o.o first elimination next round imo

 

[Jackal]

neil young survives 37+ pages getting +1 one time and NEVER getting a -2 lol

go canada!

 

[Pax Deorum]

Bob Marley was kinda like that too. I don't think he should be there seeing almost no one cares to raise or lower its score.

 

[CaptKirby]

I minused Bob Marley earlier, and I know some people plussed it later

 

[gorm]

attn pottle

 

[Havak]

Damn, I don't like a single one of the bands left... Porcupine Tree being 28th is bad game.

 

[GreenPikachu]

i'm thrilled to see dylan and young both there. i wish the smashing pumpkins got some more support though. :(

 

[Atlas]

i was doing the best i can:( well, its a clean slate next round anyways.

 

[Hipmonlee]

I wonder if I had voted more regularly I coulda kept funkadelic alive..

Have a nice day.

 

[Steelicks]

man Pink Floyd got owned in this tournament

 

[dak]

there are too many indies in smogon, nearly all the bands that are left suck ass!

 

[Goodbar]

^ that doesn't apply to the doors, i noticed your voting habits for them lol

I was kinda angry zeppelin was knocked out early, they deserve to win eventually

 

[JTH]

I don't think it's so much that there are 'to many indies in smogon' but moreso that the indie votes were more focused on the same bands.

Because of a lot of 'indie' stuff got eliminated pretty quickly.

 

[Jackal]

can we get this rollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllinnnnnnn

 

[DM]

man Pink Floyd got owned in this tournament

It basically goes that previous winners/near winners get their asses kicked. Rush, PF, GYBE, Radiohead, etc.
