Music Banter Hall Of Fame: Nominations Thread

[johnsmithdd30]

As could I.

 

[d cool]

I agree full-heartedly with FaSho and Dac.

 

[stephy(:]

Um... That was the first nomination. Click the ">>" button on the bottem left of the page (not the "writing a post" page) to see the latest discussion... (also "" to see the next few, "

Just a note: not all influence is good influence. While he inspired plenty of artists' infectious groove he's also responsible for some of the most cringe-worthy indulgent wankery. Of course, it's not like that was his fault.

Any chance we can stop voting in "safe" artists? They might be worth the nomination but there's hardly any discussion behind them.

 

[Fly_grl]

Yeah a public poll would be nice so we could discuss it with the disagree-ers.

 

[sNYDER]

You should base it mainly on your own preference really, vote no on a band if you really don't like them unless you really think they're important enough to vote for them anyway.
These 2 are critically acclaimed and seen as very important in music history, but i'm thinking the next few will make it a more personal affair...

 

[Rubluffin]

You are clearly not a racist bastard, however, having a picture of a black man near you is not enough. Here's an ex. of what I mean: I had a college dorm roomate who was a racist bastard. Several people called him out for it and his defense was that his wall was full of posters of black football players which clearly means he is not a racist. So he was not only racist but he was delusional. The guy likes football. You like Hendrix. Neither proves racial tolerance. (just sayin')



I'm strangely invested in this contest now. Let's focus on Hope and agree that Tool just isn't great.

 

[Bek=]]

Yes, for the reasons stated in the nominations. VU & Nico is one of my favourite three albums of the 60s (and the competition is pretty tough).

 

[apshawnhunt]

Yeah, I typed it up on an iPhone, in the middle of the night. Don't go by that. Vote for what you think of the band.

Trust me, I'm a fan. But when it comes to explaining, I turn durab.

 

[blunosepit]

Get nominating then, lol :

I know what you mean though, but there are still some 'safe' artists I'd like to see in the HoF before less worthy ones.

 

[dnice1702]

I'm withholding my vote in hopes of casting the deciding tally.

 

[drea_m3]

If he spawned Led Zep, then I wish he wasn't born.

 

[Royal Blue]

Has there ever been an Indie record to reach the cult status that Aeroplane did?

 

[Parth DJ]

I'd be happy doing it, but I can't edit posts and polls and stuff.

 

[Jam Zilla]

A massive yes for me, goes without saying, seriously.

 

[~Brittney]

I think the reason only safe artists being nominated is because of the way the voting works.
I said pretty much from the start that it's pointless counting 'No' votes against 'Yes' votes.

You need a huge nuraber of Yes votes to get in just to counteract the 'No' votes. Because of this only safe artists will get in.

Let's just have a prerequisite nuraber of Yes votes needed, say 15 or 20 and let them have a week to get to that total.

It'll totally freshen up this thread.

 

[Awareness]

Apologizing for that Radiohead comment a couple pages back might sway me

 

[Ginger A]

Yeh, KC is uber popular here, Radiohead has the endorsement of Pitchfork and PF is... Pink bloody Floyd.

 

[sirindair]

Absolutely, but I can't vote?

 

[bridgett s]

This is awesome.
