Music Banter Hall Of Fame: Nominations Thread

Well it's a yes for King Crimson from me. I'm still delving into their discography but really enjoying what i'm hearing. I have One More Red Nightmare on right now and it might be my favourite song of theirs, in fact Red is just brilliant for the most part. I'm not a proggy by any means but King Crimson are very easy to like, just listen to 21st Century Schizoid Man, an awesome amount of strutter and heaviness for one song.
Very good stuff.
 
Same here. I say yes. For practically the same reasons. I like his playing, but he doesn't do all that much for me. But he HAS done a lot for many many others and I respect that. I yes from me. He deserves it.
 
Yeah, but then again, Jackson Pollock invested a lot of time and effort to make

^ This.

The thing with Beefheart is, you had other artists from that period like Zappa, Velvet Underground and King Crimson who were also making groundbreaking, innovative avant garde influenced rock music, but they still did a lot of stuff I find aesthetically pleasing. And that's where Beefheart falls short.

Beefheart's music has never touched me or blown me away and it doesn't make me want to dance. It doesn't really give me anything other then sheer fascination and amusement, like watching a train wreck. I had a phase where I listened to TMR all the time and now I don't really listen to it anymore. My favorite song is Moonlight on Vermont.

The thing with that album is, I think it's the most hilarious thing I've ever heard, but I'm slowly beginning to suspect that it wasn't actually meant to be funny, and that bothers me.

I still consider it a great album, because it's so unique, fascinating and it's certainly never boring. But genius?

Eh... I don't know about that.

Christopher George Lattore "The Notorious B.I.G" Wallace was a rapper from Brooklyn, NY. He was an essential figure of the East Coast rap scene in the early to mid 90s. The heart and soul of Bad Boy recorRAB, Biggie's work is sometimes shadowed by his infamous involvment in the West/East coast rap fued - a beef Biggie denied being a part of.

His music was equal to his legacy, as it turns out. Biggie had a relaxed, easy going flow coupled with hardcore lyrics and a storytelling ability that corabined and contrasted nicely with P Diddy's commercial-friendly beats. But there's not much I can say that doesn't already speak for itself.

Radiohead introduced me to so many different genres of music
before them i liked shadows fall ugh
they have made far more brilliant albums than other previous entries
wu-tang and king crimson with one to their names
i think at the very least they should be nominated if not inducted

dont let the inevitable hipster backlash set in
or the hype
 
For the love of all that is good in the world, no, Belle And Sebastian should not make it into the hall of fame. I have in the past compared their music to some kind of awful artisan bread that is hyped to the heavens by artisan bread aficionados as something amazing, but when you actually try a piece it's just dry and bland and stale and... well... bread. I still think this is a pretty apt metaphor for this excruciatingly boring band who, for me, represent everything that can be awful about indie pop.
 
I was referring to Paul's Boutique. I don't much like Licence to Ill. I think it's pretty immature compared to Paul's. My second favorite of theirs would be Check Your Head, which is still not that great. Not a fan of Ill Communication or To the Five Boroughs, the latter of which I think is a totally irrelevant album.
