Trust Survivor - Round 6
Trust Survivor - Round 6 From a Whisper to a Scream and White Knuckles are out. I'm surprised that From a Whisper to a Scream was voted out because it was one of the singles from the album and was a duet with Squeeze singer Glenn Tilbrook. I can understand how White Knuckles was voted out. VOTE A SO...

Re: Elvis Costello Survivor - Which album do you want to do next?
I'm only doing the albums from the first ten years of his career because doing all of the albums would take far too long, I am unfamiliar with the albums, and because I am doing a survivor with the winners of all of these albums.bronxapostle wrote:Errrr, i think you are forgetting about 19 other long players!!!

Armed Forces Survivor Round 11 (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding is out. This is a great song and one of his best singles, but in my opinion, it is definitely not as good as the two remaining tracks. Now, there are two tracks left.
