I don't expect this thread to take off for a while yet; I think everyone is suffering from XTC Survivor fatigue. However...

When I was a university instructor, I used to tell my students at the beginning of each semester that each and every one of them started the year off with 100%, and that it was up to them whether I deducted from their total or not.

RULES

Each album starts off with 50 points.
For each turn, you must give one album ONE point & subtract ONE point from TWO albums (until the last two albums are left, then it will be -2/+1).
Please indicate your action with a + or - sign. It'd be nice if you bolded the name, too.
You can post once every 3 turns (there must be AT LEAST 2 posts between your votes)
OR after TWO days have passed with no other action.
Copy the list from the most recent post. Remember to delete the previous poster's +/-, And be certain to edit your own post quickly if someone else has posted between the time you copied the list and posted your turn.
There IS NO point cap per title. Take it as high as you can get it, because if you don't it will be taken away from.
When an album has no points left, it is eliminated.
The last album standing is the best Beatles album EVAH!

Boy it's hard to pick a favorite album. I honestly have to choose based on album strength rather than favorite songs.
