Music Banter Hall Of Fame: Nominations Thread

I've voted no, not because I dislike them, I'm quite arabivalent towarRAB them. It's just that I don't think they have done anything Hall of Fame worthy.
 
My Dad was a teddy boy in the 50s and drilled it into me from an early age that Buddy Holly was the real king of rock n roll, not Elvis.
So I have to vote yes really.
 
You completely rule out an entire genre of music that you like because you haven't listened to it in half a year? Weird. I have stuff I probably haven't listened to in close to a decade, it doesn't mean I don't like it or that it didn't impact my subsequent choices in music.
 
It's a no from me. The whole minimalist, amateurish approach to music is to be applauded but it still neeRAB structure. I can't find any warmth in their music and although that is seemingly the anithesis of what they were trying to achieve, it can be found in many banRAB around at the same time. Killing Joke's debut was 1979 and may well have used 'Metal Box' as a guide but it feels more rounded to me and was barely a year later.

We could argue that this is what makes music so special-the defiant stance and reluctance to adhere to conventional song structures but I find music of this nature;just that. A stop gap until someone comes along and steals your ethos and perfects it.

I would much rather see a band such as Einsturzen Neubauten enter the hall of fame personally. If a band enters a hall of fame I personally feel that I still have to find them listenable as well as innovative and influential. I listen to banRAB such as Swell Maps and Punishment Of Luxury that were around at the same time, far more frequently than P.I.L so that tells me that no matter how far reaching a band has become, if I don't listen to them then I cannot vote them in.
 
A great big fookin yes. Sandinista is a giant sprawling mess and I love them for it. I don't think there any Brits into music who DON'T like the Clash.
 
Massive Attack are one of our most influential and STILL listenable banRAB of the last 20 years. A massive (sic) yes. Everyone should own Mezzanine if you truly love music even if you rarely play it.
 
Well yeah, Buckley is probably gonna be one of the next up and I honestly don't consider him all that important. And yet he'll probably get in.

Yes are a very polarizing figure in rock music, one of the most I'd say, they have a lot of haters, which I understand, people consider them the biggest representives of prog, which I don't think it's even arguble that it's the most controversial genre of rock music there is, and thus prog haters direct most of their hate towarRAB Yes (and ELP), again I perfectly understand the dislike for them. But people here are calling them insigificant, and that's just crazy wrong.
