Music Banter Hall Of Fame: Nominations Thread

I like them enough.... not enough into them to say i absolutely love them or anything, but I also feel they have significant relevance to the development of rock music as a genre too... so i guess i gotta go with a yes on that basis...
 
aye.

I would love to put Paul Weller's name forward but theres still to be a thread dedicated to him on this forum, which I plan on doing soon.
As for Sigur Ros, after trolling your last fm Kenneth, I think I have some stuff pending.
 
Ok then, with that point let's make the point simple, make the official criteria "your own personal preference". Even though that's not the criteria I was using, I'll gladly use it if that's the one everyone else agrees to use. I just want us to pick one and one only.

The problem is half vote for personal preference, and the other half vote for the same reason as I do. That creates a conflict of interests and an inconsistant hall of fame.

There's no consistency, if you're right that this is supposed to refect the forums point of view, then people who vote based on influence are ruining everything and costing artists that would normally get in based on popular opinion to fail to even get nominated, as well as getting artists unpopular on rab inducted based on their impact. If it was just established (required would be a better word) that you vote for who you like and no other reason, that's how I would have voted, and probably a lot of other people who are not too stupid to read the first page.

If it's decided that personal opinion is the criteria that should be used then that'll be the one I'll use from now on. But it means there should be no tolerance for people voting against an artist because "they're not influencial enough" if that's entirely against the point of this HOF.

And since you make a good point, then maybe we should make it clear that if you vote, vote for who you like and that's it, no bullsh*tting, trying to make it any more complicated or convoluted than that.
 
I clicked the the wrong option :banghead:


Can it be changed? I don't mind if you delete it...




I don't think anyone would vote against him, really. Whether or bit they like his music is irrelevant, as he is one of the most influiencial people in guitaring history...


Sorry for the inconvinience.
 
NSW, in the future, can you allow the person who actually submitted the write-up to post it? It makes the write up feel more personal and intimate.
 
I like Joy Division, appreciate them quite a bit for what they and the Bunnymen did. But by no account are the two albums they made (neither of which I would consider spectacular) considered to have a lasting impact. I like Ian Curtis, I really do, but their influence on post-punk is not definitive enough to have them included in a Hall of Fame. And despite how many fanboys are on this site, I think too many people romanticize more about Curtis's suicide than JD's music. Please compare them to the Bunnymen and JAMC before you shout me down.

A definite "no" on my behalf. Sorry.
