Another vote for 1967. Some rubbish on there in all honesty.

Are you breaking them up into chunks of 4 by chronological order? I think that's a bad way to do it since you have some uber strong stretches from Bowie (see: the 70s) and some uber bad ones (see: 85-95).

Who's gonna want to eliminate Lodger in the first round, and then have to pick one of those turds from the late 80s?

That's the idea. We tried to have albums of vaguely the same level of quality and more or less similar style in every round if possible. That makes for a much more interesting battle. Of course the late eighties stuff for example will be voted off immediately, once we pit the individual battle's winners against each other, but so what? There will still be enough good albums from his good periods left to make it interesting.

1967 again. It's not even as bad as people make out though really.

I listened to it the first time in preparation for this thread and I thought it was pretty annoying.
His voice is already unmistakable and I guess it's quite an achievement for a debut of someone that young, but overall it's rather bad.

I wasn't half as unimpressed with the debut as I expected to be. As I'm finding with Discographius Trollheartus Enormicus, not too many bands, even really favourite ones of mine, can impress with their first outing. He does. Even so, yeah, of the first four, there's no doubting which goes out of the contest first.

David Bowie (1967)

Perhaps you should change the thread title to reflect that Round I has begun.
It might also be useful to have the full list in the OP, so that people can plan ahead with their votes and as a general overview.

As far as I know, the ones who run a survivor thread usually contact a mod to change the title accordingly.
And I'm pretty sure you don't need to be a mod to edit one of your own posts.
