Yes, just as any discussion about music on this forum does. I just dont like the whole concept of holding up these particular artists and saying 'they are the best' etc etc.
I think all the music I listen(or perhaps more appropriately like- although there is some stuff where I dont like but can still appreciate it for what it is) to is good in its own right & thats how I think that ,due to the original concept of these hall of fame things, they are unecessary.
The way I see 'the best in the world' statement is that it is based up limited experience of music. I find it impossible to actually truthfully say that this band or this artist is 'the best in the world' as I havent heard every single artist to compare against.
You never know when youre gonna find a new great band and anything can happen with new artists and banRAB coming out (not so much the mainstream ones).
Wow, thats a breakthrough we have here. I was just naming the most obvious rock banRAB which people state are 'the best in the world'.
Yep which I disagree with as I dont think it should be based on the 'biggest, most commercial, most well known (or over hyped IMO)...
The thing about this comment though is that it is so blatantly obvious, you wouldnt even actually have to be into music to make that prediction.
I mean when you hear the term 'big names' do you really think they aint gonna get in?

Frank Zappa: Why not, he had the right ideas about music and life in general. I find myself listening to his music less and less but I still think he deserves a spot in there.
The Clash: No, sadly, I don't really like this band. Never hit it off well with London Calling or any of their other material. I can appreciate them for the looming influence they have over other artists I enjoy but I really can't see myself listening to them.
Bob Dylan: Abstain.
Pink Floyd: Of course. One of the first banRAB I saw myself getting engrossed in and I love their music to death. Everything they made from '71-'77 is positively sublime.
Big Black: No. Steve Albini has made better contributions to the world. And he knows it, too.
Tom Waits: Easily one of the strangest songwriters to grace this fair planet, and yes, one of the best. Absolutely yes.
The Smiths: Nope. Heard enough hype about this band already. I find them not in the least bit interesting.
Chuck Berry: Abstain.

Chuck Berry: Abstain.
Frank Zappa: Chyea, good musiks.
The Clash: Yes. I find some of their material rather bland but London Calling is a gem.
Bob Dylan: Yes, he's god.
Pink Floyd: N/A. I don't really listen to enough PF to care either way.
Big Black: Chyes. Songs About ****ing is a great album.
Tom Waits: Big yes. A man for the ages.
The Smiths: Personally, nah. I own a few Smiths/Mozzy albums and judging from my taste in music they should be way up on my list, but I can't really dig it.
Chuck Berry: N/A. Don't listen to him.
The Clash: Yes. I find some of their material rather bland but London Calling is a gem.

Well the nomination threaRAB don't offer that much discussion... most of the time its just votes with no justification either way (Not saying I ain't guilty 
And then the other times its mainly just yes because x reason with no real discussion or feedback
If boo boo didn't get upset over Berry/Yes not getting in, then there wouldn't be any real discussion anyway. And most of the discussion comes out of who does and who doesn't get in at these stages.

Pink Floyd: Yes, they've got several classic albums.

Hang Down Your Head and Downtown Train.
Those are the songs from Rain Dogs I could do without.
It's still one of my favorite albums ever, don't get me wrong.

'Nominated', not actually inducted. These Hall Of Fame things are totally unecessary in my opinion and I cringe when I continually see peoples narrow minded selections 'The Smiths, Chuck Berry,The Who,Beatles, Stones,blah blah blah.
How many styles have you erabraced by having 'Wu-Tang Clan' (whom I dont personally like) & 'Captain Beefheart' (whom I have a few of his albums- 'Safe As Milk' & 'The Spotlight Kid/Clear Spot' but find him a bit difficult to get into (personally prefer Frank Zappa). So 'rap' & 'weird ass 60s rock'. Wow...

The OP for the last one of these said the whole point was to start discussion but you're right, given the way most people want to treat it as less of hall of fame situation (i.e. voting for people based on achievement) and more of just a popularity contest, it doesn't generate as much discussion as it could.

I didn't realise there was an abstain option until just now. I will edit my post.

You do realise this thread isn't saying these artists are the best in the world?
It is simply saying which artists are Music Banters FAVOURITES... There is a difference.
Doesn't suggest that we think these artists are the best in the world, just who we as a community love.
