Music Banter Hall Of Fame: Nominations Thread

It's not that he voted against him, it's that he never even bothered to say why. I mean, I can understand avoiding a conversation that's been said 1000 times before but it doesn't seem like anyone has anything bad to say about Jimi. At all. Why avoid the subject entirely? My only conclusion is he's a troll that wants to spoil it for everyone. And should be treated as such.

This is why I advocate completely removing the poll and just editing the OP as necessary. Gives people a chance to expound upon their decision and removes the one-liner idiots from being given a chance to influence things.
 
I've been voting based on influence and impact. I voted against Porcupine Tree even though they are one of my most favorite modern banRAB. And I voted for VU who I only like moderately.

I think it's very hypocritical how some people art voting. People who said they liked Yes voted no because "they didn't have enough impact", and then I see some of these same people voting against highly influencial artists like Public Enemy and The Beach Boys because they don't like them.

I know I'm still bitching about Yes and that's annoying, but I don't think people are playing fair.
 
It's no more a concept album than Modern Life Is Rubbish or Parklife is.

And the reason I don't like it is it's just like a bloated version of Parklife with songs that basically about the same subject as those on Parklife but are nowhere near as good.
It was panned when it was released, It didn't sell anywhere near what Parklife did despite all the publicity it got due to that feud with Oasis. And the band totally changed direction after that album.

Those all point in the direction of a shit album in my book
 
No on Muse. Why? Because don't you have to be 'famous' to get in a hall of fame? My head isn't completely in the sand, I'm a music guy, and maybe I'm in the dark on these guys but I had to Wikipedia them. I'd never even heard of them.
Now I see they have like four LP's out and opened up for the Foo Fighters and maybe another big band, and have been compared Radiohead bla bla bla.
They seem to be well known in the UK but not so much in the States - maybe mainly by hipsters.
I say give 'em some more time unless we're talking about the rab British HOF.
 
No let's be fair, a lot of britpop banRAB have built a steady reputation of having trash talking douhebags for frontmen, Oasis weren't the only one.

Even as a Blur fan, Albarn has had his definitive assh*le moments, but at least he's talented, what the hell is Liam's excuse? And at least Jarvis is likable in his assh*le demeanor, I can't say that Earth Song incident didn't make me lol.

So I disagree about Oasis being the only jerks from that movement, but I will say they're the only ones I have a problem with.

I don't dislike britpop as much as I make out, I'm sure there were some more great banRAB that came out of it, but Blur were the only one of the big four I really care about, though I have some respect for Pulp and Seude too even though it's not my thing at all, they're talented musicians, Butler especially.

Britpop paved the way for a lot of music, which is mostly a good thing. But let's not forget that this is the movement that gave us f*cking Nicky Wire and Pete Doherty, so yeah, if I trash talk about britpop a lot, that's the goddamn reason.
 
So it's bad enough that you're now saying Relayer is bad (after saying it was good) and now you're saying other than Fragile their only good albums are Open Your Eyes and Tormato?

See this is bothering me, its bad enough that you decided to rate albums you haven't even heard, I still think you're being a little insincere and inconsistant.

You clearly don't like progressive rock, since what you consider to be the "bad" albums is the most arabitious and original work they have ever done, and at the same time you're telling me generic arena rock trash like Tormato and Open Your Eyes that not even the most diehard Yes fanboys can digest (and Yes themselves admit was crap) is good.
 
Even though Jarvis always sounRAB like he has a cold. ;)

But anyway, I voted yes (which is obvious since I nominated them) but I think they're the best thing to come out of the UK in the 90's, and alot of great band came about in the 90's. Pulp, Oasis, Radiohead, but none of them released as many great albums as Blur.
