Dissipated Eight

 * Delete Is this group really famous enough to warrant a page on wikipedia? Flexon1985 07:44, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * As far as I can see, none of their CDs are available on Amazon, but Google does get 573 hits and "Male Collegiate Album of the Year" satisfies WP:MUSIC as far as I'm concerned. And it's not a bad article, too! I say keep. GeorgeStepanek\talk 08:33, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. One of those continuous collegiate music groups that has some borderline notability.

 * Delete I've been a big fan of this group's work ever since the release of their 1990 LP Super 8!, their most accomplished album. Its commercial sounds with deep pop grooves were appealing in a narrower way than their great, great live concerts, but still deeply satisfying. I think their rendition of "I Do" was the most moving a capella song of the 1990s about monogamy and committment. As far as I'm concerned it was the greatest achievement in pop music to date. But lately their work has become too artsy, too intellectual.  Students at Middlebury College, which I still attend, have lost interest in this group, which has lost touch with its base.  The back-to-back departures of Kevin Manfredi and Erik Carleton in 2000 and 2001 really destroyed the group's moral.  They want to fit in, but they can't.  Their site should be deleted unless they can facilitate a return to the traditional moral values that they so strongly held on to for their first 40 years. &mdash;Slackerman 2006-01-25 12:06Z
