Music Banter Hall Of Fame: Nominations Thread

I hear you. This is one of the most defining threaRAB of the entire site, maybe some regulations are in order. I just want to stay away from discouraging people from voting by making them feel like a 500 word essay on why an artist should or shouldn't be included is nessicary.
 
Seminal in the evolution of house, very diverse and a good point of reference for the whole 'continuum', thus the vote. Also their sound hasn't dated badly, compared with the more commercial dance music from that era, it's quite cerebral. It would be a boon to the HoF to get at least one act in there representing electronica & dance, that's a whole new can of funky worms really. AND it's like the music you hear in late 70's/80's sci-fi films in club scenes, the ones trying to anticipate what futuristic junk we'd be dancing to through space-speakers installed in our Moontropolis condos. Little did they know

If you voted no you probably just need the customary MDMA experience to loosen you up :p: Is that Ted from accounts laughing hysterically and pressing his face against that speaker stack with his shirt off? By golly i think it is
 
you didnt actually use the worRAB baby jesus janszoon, but you agreed with it, the 'Lord Thy God' could strike you down and 'kill you where you stand'..or sit, if he wanted to...I guess, (sorry I watched the movie year one last night and couldnt resist using those lines).
 
On behalf of all that's left of my dignity I apologize for using an Eagles simile.

For the record I never have considered them gangsta and found that post to be another example fo why I am still in favor of a post count limit despite the fact it is not the popular consensus.
 
is going against the grain that hard for you?

i'd say a good reason why they get shot down here is because their fans are rabid morons. it really has nothing to do with their music -- look to Lateralus for justification if you want.
 
I just got back from two alternate dimensions.

In one only under 25's voted and NMH got through.

In the other only over 25's voted and they didnt make it.
 
Yes!

I'd have them over the Pistols any day (and don't get me wrong, I love the Pistols). Metal Box and Flowers Of Romance are two of my favourite albums of all time and on top of that the only thing linking each of their albums (in my opinion) is Lydon's voice ( = a massively interesting discography). Such an undervalued band - love 'em to bits!
 
It's hard to, it's not that they are losing thats really bothering me because I already knew they had their detractors, I don't care if big3 votes no.

What bothers me is that most of the people who are voting against them are people who just joined who will probably disappear in a few days never to return again.

This is supposed to represent the opinions of this forum, as in the rab community, as in the regulars and posters that actually contribute something. Most of the regulars haven't even voted yet, the n00bs are the only ones voting for the most part, and out of the regulars that voted, guess which option most of them picked. You guessed it.

If we devided it to include just those with a hefty amount of posts, it would be evenly matched.

EDIT: It's 6 yes and 5 no including only posters that have more than 500 posts, 6 yes and 3 no for those with over 600, hmm.
