Rock Album Survivor

Iggy's my top pick, I'd be content with VU, Roxy Music, and perhaps Beefheart. Anything else would be fine, but I'd have to agree to disagree. I don't understand why people don't like For Your Pleasure as much though, it's more interesting to me than most of these albums, and Bryan Ferry is absolutely brilliant both as a vocalist and a songwriter.

Roxy Music

I think Roxy would have a better shot if their debut was on the list instead

Voting against KC is a sin against humanity.

Discipline is IMO one of their worst albums before 81. And of course they pretty much fell off the map during the 80s along with every other prog rock band. Queen II < Discipline < Everything else

Well, it's already pretty plain that this is going to be a contentious round (Ori's picks were literally my top 4; I'm sure others experienced similar situations). Should be fun. And as odd as it sounds, there are three albums going off this round. Roxy Music (I hate you all), Todd Rundgren (I hate you all), and Queen (obviously) are all getting voted off this round. By God, this is devilry. I feel sick even continuing this battle. But I will anyway.

7. Magazine - Real Life
6. King Crimson - Discipline
5. Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band - Clear Spot
4. The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground and Nico
3. Brian Eno - Another Green World
2. Iggy Pop - The Idiot
1. David Bowie - Low

Vote 3 off. Vote ends January 21.

This battle is hell. I don't know if I've reiterated that enough.
