LPKingsFan's recap:
D-Mass v. Bricklayer: Brick's got some good rock in there with Green Day, AC/DC, and Tom Petty, among others. But D-Mass's list is stronger overall, with good mix. Some 90's classics (Oasis, REM, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam) some all-time classics (Led Zep, The Who and even some more recent hits (Coldplay and Jack Johnson). The Beastie Boys pick is the icing on the cake.
Jerryaki vs. tradepeja: Jerryaki's got some nice contemporary favorites of mine in OutKast, Jack Johnson, and of course, Boyz II Men. But tradepeja's list is one of my favorites in the whole contest: Sublime, The 1967 Beatles (well, minus Rubber Soul I guess), Nirvana (even if I'd prefer the unplugged), Skynyrd, STP, Dr. Dre... I could go on.
bozwell vs. c-diddy: Tough call. c-diddy takes bozwell if you favor 90's rock (which I do at times) coming with Nirvana, Dave Matthews, Counting Crows, Blink.. it's practically 100.5! bozwell, however gets the call with a more diverse mix (even if it's largely absent 90s rock) because it does have The Blue Album and the Bends, some great classic cuts from the Beatles and Stones, and even some good hip hop (the Roots, even if this was one of their weaker efforts, and Public Enemy.
GGG vs. atxrocker: This is probably the hardest decision in the whole shindig. Two great lists, this should be the final, in my opinion... Where to start? On principle, there's no way I should vote against a list that has some of my favorite albums from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, A Tribe Called Quest and my all time favorite, Sublime. In any other matchup, that would be the case. But atxrocker wins my vote with greater depth: not a huge fan of some of GGG's picks, while only two or three of atxrocker's aren't indispensible in my collection. That's an island my ears would enjoy.

Bricklayer and I both have brutal second round matchups. But hey, I've already exceeded my expectations.
My picks.
D-Mass vs. Brick - D Mass - He was my #1 seed in the pre-rankings. If I had to swap my list for anyone else's, its his, hands down.
Jerriyaki vs. tradepeja - Jerriyaki - A very tough vote for me. Both were in my top five and tradepeja has a really good list. Jerriyaki has a great well rounded list, everything from Eminem to Elvis. A couple picks in there really did it for me though. I love the Ben Folds Five pick and the Jack Johnson pick just fits with the whole Desert Island motif. Great list. I hope I don't have to choose between you and D-Mass.
atxrocker vs. GGG - atxrocker - What can I say, he's got Rage, Jimi, Nirvana, 3eb, STP and Radiohead. That's quite a list. Next round is going to be hard for me.
C Diddy vs. Bozzwell. - C Diddy - I shamelessly voted for myself. Not that Bozzwell needs the extra vote anyway.

You could always protest the mathematic aberration in this round, since the only pairing atxrocker voted in was between you and he.
Sorry for the delay, but I had a bad case of 'Itis... Semis will be up momentarily.
Desert Island Music Draft *** Semifinals ***
*** Please read the reminder for voting below before casting your vote ***
The original draft thread can be found here .
After adjusting for voters who inadvertently checked the wrong boxes, the final tallies are as follows:
Black Bracket
(1) D-Mass d. (4) Bricklayer: 15-11
(3) tradepeja d. (2) Jerryaki 16-10
Purple Bracket
(1) bozzwell d. (4) C-Diddy 16-10
(3) atxrocker d. (2) GoGoGadget 15-11
Again, both brackets will be voted on in this thread. The bracket winners will be decided upon thusly:
Black Bracket
(1) D-Mass versus (3) tradepeja
Purple Bracket
(1) bozzwell versus (3) atxrocker
Vote for only one list per matchup per bracket.
REMINDER: Because of the way this poll will have to be arranged, you will be required to make multiple votes. The vote will have to be public so that I can keep track of whether anyone makes a double-vote. With regard to this matter, I ask that you pay attention to whom you are voting for: because of the way the multiple vote factors in, it’s possible to accidentally vote for both parties in a given matchup, i.e. accidentally vote for (1) Black and (4) Black. I am including this in the OP with enough advanced notice so that everybody will be aware of what could happen. If, for some reason, you do happen to accidentally vote for both parties in a matchup, PM me before the voting deadline to advise me of the mistake and let me know whom you meant to vote for, and I will correct your vote. Any double votes that I have not been advised of by the voting deadline will be considered invalid, and not counted.

I've been pretty silent throughout the whole voting process, but I will say this: I'm totally surprised that my list made it to this point, so thank you to those who helped get it here. And thanks again to Slim for making this TDOS go a lot faster...and with a lot more fun. And as Brick said awhile back, it has been nice to learn a bit about music I've never considered before...I plan to check out a lot of the artists recommended in this thread.
