Same goes for someone like Laswell... Has been involved in music for yonks, has so many albums accredited to him somehow, was huge in the NY underground/avant garde scene and has pushed the careers of some huge modern day players. But not well known still. I mean some might remeraber his name here and there from a Buckethead or PiL thread but overall there is no chance of him getting through, simply because most don't listen to him. Not saying they will like him of course.
And in the end if I nominated him, I couldn't give a damn if he got in or not. T'would be nice, but in the end of the day, it ain't my choice alone.
Re:Jackhammer's post, I doubt this would be an issue Boo Boo if Yes had gotten in and Berry was likely to get in clearly (ie 21-7 ratio)
