Greatest Album of 1979 - Elimination Round 5

Confirmed: No Mancunian singers in this dojo. What superficial quality will be used to eliminate the next album?

The poll will run for a day as usual, but the round after will start on Monday.

Gang of Four ejected for me.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Love the album, but now's time for the lesser Elvis to go.

I'm dead disappointed that Go4 look next to go. My favourite album ever on some days.

Y’all, there’s literally no defense for eliminating any of these that’s not easily counterable. Except for a London Calling, which fucks up the voting and shouldn’t be allowed in. There’s a reason Wheel of Fortune added RSTLNE.

Counterpoint: Many of you love really suspect music.
