Music Banter Hall Of Fame: Nominations Thread

I think you'll like The Yes Album more (coming your way). It's still prog but it's a bit more accessible and melodic than Fragile.

Time and a Word, Drama and Magnification are also good choices out of their more accessible material.

I probably wouldn't recommend Tales or Relayer even though I consider them to be among their best work, they just tend to be albums only Yes fans appreciate, everyone else enRAB up hating them.
 
Yeah, what a pussy.

I voted yeah, they have everything I look for in a great modern day band. They have made quite a few good albums and I assume they will continute to do so. Certainly more deserving than most others.
 
for those that didnt pick up on it I was being facetious in the delivery, sorry if I offended any drive-time radio sensibilities with my brazen use of the left angle bracket :D

yay for quoting yourself
 
It's back! This one's from Alfred

Bad Brains

obey6-thurab-500x374.jpg


Bad Brains were one of the founding fathers of hardcore punk, and arguably the most unique band to come out of the early 80's hardcore scene. The band is notable for incorporating Reggae and Rastafarian themes into their music. With their blistering tempos, technical guitar, and HR's signature vocal delivery, Bad Brains were in my opinion, the best hardcore punk band. They later went on to experiment with funk and heavy metal in addition to their energetic, Rasta-themed punk sound. Bad Brains have inspired and continue to inspire a wide variety of banRAB, including, but not limited to Beastie Boys, The Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Fugazi.[/QUOTE]
 
HELL YES


A band that is extremely important to me. My first indie band, Jonny Marr is the reason is started playing guitar, Moz has some of the best lyrics and one of the best voices ever, undoubtedly one of the most important banRAB of the 80's, and imo the best band of the 80's.

If you havent really heard their stuff check out the compilation Hatful of Hollow.
 
Maybe - but no backlash from me. If anything I am a bit stuck in the 90s and am anti-Tool because I have been since their beginning. I almost didn't post a vote because I do respect them as a cut above a lot of 90s alternative rock. It's just that they've always rubbed me the wrong way.
Still, I'm also a little surprised by the lack of Tool love. I always thought that almost everybody really did/does like them.
 
It does'nt matter whether every album works or not. They easily deserve to be in the hall of fame. A band that could have just put out replicas off the first two albums and sat back and chilled. They did'nt and fair play to them.
 
Muse were already pretty big in Australia before I left there.... then I think sometime after I left they blew up even bigger... they were no. in 2008s Triple J Hottest 100 countdown, which is a pretty good sign of rising popularity...
 
I'd just like to add that when I say that I admired her because she was female in a rock band, I don't mean to say that girls deserve extra credit because of their gender. Females shouldn't get extra kudos just because they are female, because then it kind-of comes out as saying that girls are rubbish at music so any girl who manages to make some kind of audible noise on an instrument deserves credit.

I meant that in the late 70s - 80s especially, although still today, rock music is generally a domain still dominated by men and for a long time in history it was not often that you saw a gutsy and determined girl rock out on stage with such passion and making such noise. Also as a female myself, seeing Kin in Sonic Youth made her an icon much more relatable to me than any other male rockstars.

(Engine, I'm not criticising anything you said, in fact I agree with you entirely, but your post just reminded me that I should just make this known! :))
 
...or they genuinely don't like the Clash. I've heard the self-titled, London Calling and Sandinista! and none of them clicked. They're not horribly overrated but I find them rather boring.

I'll reserve my vote just so nobody decides to impale me with a broomstick.
 
As tragic as it is Nickelback don't make it through and set new lows.

Nominated by Conan, funnily enough next up is..

Nirvana

One of (if not THE) most popular band of the 90's, Nirvana initially came into the world amongst the mud and muck of the Seattle grunge scene. The world knew Nirvana's name after the critically an commercially successful Nevermind was released, a popular fusion of Punk, Grunge and Pop shimmer.

Nirvana was a popular success, but instead of stick to the formula they challenged their audience with the great album In Utero, in an artistic blend of previous influences and new expirmental directions.

Nirvana should be nominated because they continue to be a success some 15 years after frontman Kurt Cobain's death. In Utero and the Posthumous "MTV Unplugged" continue sell well and to make critics lists. Nevermind was also selected by the Library of Congress as historically significant, and was added to the National Recording Registry.
