Frank Zappa
No. Not doubting his influence, i just really dislike his music.

Frank Zappa
Abstain - I like him, and he's fun, but I'm just not sure. I still need to give him some more listens, I only have two albums.
The Clash
Abstain - Zero listens
Bob Dylan
Yes - It's Bob Fecking Dylan
Pink Floyd
Yes - Yes, one of the greatest acts ever.
Big Black
Abstain - Not enough listens
Tom Waits
Yes - It's Tom ****ing Waits!
The Smiths
Yes - Smiths fanboy reporting in!
Chuck Berry
No - I just don't think he has made enough good music. Influential yes, but there are a lot more things that are more influential that aren't even up for nomination.

Frank Zappa
Yes if only because he once asked why he played so many genres of music, he replied "because I can". He was scatological but backed it up with musical chops. He was intelligent and could have gone the serious music route but he understood the transient nature of fame so he decided to have a bit of fun.
The Clash
Yes and although they turned their back fairly quickly on the raw Punk sound, kudos has to be given for their determination to try different sounRAB and genres into their music.
Bob Dylan
No although a couple of his albums are really good (Highway 61 revisited), I don't listen to him enough and I hate his voice.
Pink Floyd
Yes. Do I really need to answer this?
Big Black
Yes. Sod it. I love their sound and listen to them a lot. Even if people dislike Steve Albini's production style, he went for something a little different away from the DIY garage ethic.
Tom Waits
Yes, because the more i hear of him the more I get into him and appreciate the smosgaboard of sounRAB he conjures up.
The Smiths
No. I like The Smiths but I just prefer other 80's guitar banRAB.
Chuck Berry
no. Just don't listen to him.

I didn't say that. I'm saying most of the regulars (that's the key word) prefer Syd era stuff. And If I were to make a Syd era vs Gilmour era poll I'm pretty confident Syd would win.
Gee you picked a song from the one album every meraber of the band hates and THAT'S what you use against them? So no good band is expected to have a bad song or two?
Because you have no right defending Syd Barrett of all goddamn people, or to be a White Stripes fan, because they undeniably have some awful stuff.

I was joking. I don't think anyone gets that upset about it all 
Although i think with some of the nominations coming up it'll blow away your stereotype of all HOF's being just big names.

i don't see what the problem is with it, definitely gives noobs an introduction to what music we like here. i'm up for anything that gets people to discuss music, really.
I think the nerdrage got in the way of your logic there.
1. I don't have a right to defend him? So I did what I was allowed?
2. I don't have the right to be a white stripes fan? Why?
3. You're confusing awful with, "written in a drug fueled haze, and stupid enough when sober to think it was a ****ing song!"

Third one now and there were a lot of positive nominations so it's a biggy! Read below if you don't know what to do.
The nominees are:
Frank Zappa
He's God, apparantly.
The Clash
Should they stay or should they go? (Ha)
Bob Dylan
Will you leave him on Desolation Row? (Ugh)
Pink Floyd

Big Black
Looking distinctly out of place here.
Tom Waits
It's Tom Waits.
The Smiths
No strong opinions here.
Chuck Berry
Open your mouth baby, here it comes.
How this works:
If you have over 100 posts under your name then you can vote, feel free to voice your opinions if you have less posts though.
There won't be a poll, votes will be made publically by posting in this thread. You can vote for yes or no as many times as you want, as long as there's an explanation for your vote. If you haven't heard enough so feel you can't decide you can abstain.
So a post here would look like....
Frank Zappa: Yes, because....
The Clash: No, because....
Bob Dylan: Yes, because...
etc.
The artists that get 2/3rd Yes votes for them get in, easy as that. Those who don't get in can still be nominated at a later date.
This'll be open for a week and a half, since people seem to be confused remeraber you are voting what YOU think should be in the Hall Of Fame, not what you think others would want or whatever.
Get voting broheims.

It is the rules though so It's understandable if they are not included.
my bad, but there ARE others on Rain Dogs that give me that eerie 'this sounRAB a bit too much like Springsteen' for my taste. towarRAB the end of the album it sort of devolves into this massive pit that it really doesn't clirab out of until the very end. to me, there's just too huge a gap between the great material on that album (Anywhere I Lay My Head is perfect) and the bad (Hang Down Your Head, Blind Love, Downtown Train).
if you don't get that impression i don't know what to tell you but i can certainly echo boobs' sentiment -- there's stuff that Waits has written that sounRAB like it's been regurgitated by the Boss. and not in a good way.
