Music Banter Hall Of Fame: Nominations Thread

KC is the one band with a good sized discography that I still own every studio album from, because unlike most banRAB with more than 10 albums, even their weakest albums are still worth having.

For those wanting to get into this band, heres how I'd rank their work, in order.

Great:
ITCOTK
Red
Discipline
Lizard
THRAK
Starless and Bible Black
Three of a Perfect Pair
Larks Tongues in Aspic
The Power to Believe/Happy With What You Have to Be Happy With
In The Wake of Poseidon

Good:
IslanRAB
Beat
ConstruKction of Light

As much as this post makes me want to vote no for the Smiths, I'm still going to force myself to vote yes. I'm not the biggest Smiths fan by any means but they're a solid band who is very influential and they were one of the leading lights of their style and era. So I think they definitely deserve to get in.
 
Each nominee is up for week as dictated when the Hall of Fame started. It's been pretty consistent, 28 or 29 total votes every time. This just may not be the time for them, let more people on here get to know them via your posts, reviews and nominate them again in a few months or whatever. Assuming they don't by now. I am leaning towarRAB an affirmative vote but still reserving judgment for now.
 
I was referring to The Monkey's post, but it was just a general statement anyways.

Big is the closest thing to gangsta rap I listen to. It just seems that when people hear a beat that wasn't ripped off a top 40 song or doesn't play like a cheesy synth pop song that it's considered gangsta.
 
With prog I like to think of it as being made up of two main categories, the cool stuff (Can, Roxy Music, Hawkwind) and the nerdy stuff (King Crimson, Yes, Genesis).

Also, what Yes material do you like and don't like from what you've heard? They do have some good albums that are a bit more basic than their more popular works.
 
I definitely think the votes in the next round from the HOF panel have to be public.

On the subject, I'm either voting no or not voting at all. I can't justify voting yes for him. I'm just not that big a fan. I can appreciate the artist's skill and influence but neither are so great to overcome my lack of avid enthusiasms for the music.
 
The lyrics are one aspect of a song's aura. Just as if a song had a part for cello that was written really bad and sounded bad, but the rest sounded amazing - there's still that bad cello. Some people might not mind the cello, others will find it totally distracting and counterproductive. Lyrics are the hardest part of song writing to master, because everyone disagrees on them.
 
Sorry guys, internet being down + Uni is a pain.

Porcupine Tree have failed to be nominated, next up is a nom from Alfred.

At The Drive-In

At The Drive-In was one of the most influencial banRAB of the 1990's, and seemed to get better with every album they recorded. Their lyrics were cryptic and metaphoric, and their music was intense and emotional. Their final album was praised by many reviewers. Guitar World ranked it nuraber 94 on thier list of 100 Greatest Guitar Albums Of All Time, and Spin Magazine ranked it nuraber 83 on their 100 Greatest Albums of 1985 - 2005. Their sound ranged from simple Indie Rock to intense, emotional Post-Hardcore. Their sound was truly unique. At The Drive-In broke up in 2001, and formed two separate banRAB, The Mars Volta, and Sparta, the former which has recieved much critical acclaim.
