Piss Me Off, I don't wanna waste time writing arguments for banRAB which have already been submitted, will you please post them. Why is it so difficult?
Or it means there are people who have different opinions than you do. Nice to style your opinions as the "non-sheep" indicator, but unlikely to be true.
That said, it's a no from me. I enjoy ITAOTS and OAI, but neither of the albums is so amazing as to be worth induction to a Hall of Fame.
They are not particularly original TBH but they take all the best bits of prog, arabient and Rock and manage to make a satisfying whole. I can definitely see many people being quite frankly bored by them and I'm not that surprised that they have divided opinion. For me they make exactly the music that I really like but i'm not blinkered enough to realise that they are not groundbreaking.
I was just thinking today about how perfect of an addition Beefheart would be, everyone on this forum loves him, myself included. 'Doc at the Radar Station' is an excellent album.
I would say yes, they were one of the most well known black punk groups and one of the best period. To be honest, they got me into reggae and hardcore punk and if anything both styles of music are polar opposites in both aesthetic and sound.
i voted no after already hearing cole to the edge and yes then downloading the yes album and fragile...they have a few good songs but they not good enough to cover up all the shit they put out
