Music Banter Hall Of Fame: Nominations Thread

[«вLαкe»™ [MWSE]]

It's no from me i'm afraid, simply because i never listen to the dude nor do i feel bad for particularly neglecting him.

So now it's two important albums??

Nobody is debating how good ITAOTS is, we can bitch about that in the albums very own thread. We are talking about Hall of Fame status, a supposed cream of the crop of music. There are plenty of artists that I love who I would still vote 'no' for simply because it's not a popularity contest.

Then take a look at past arguments, let's take The Beach Boys as an example. Some people judged them solely on their best known album and said no. Now I don't think too highly of Pet SounRAB other than a couple of tracks, yet I understand how important it is and how influencial it has been. But some people who said no based on that one album are now saying yes to NMH mostly based on one album, so does that mean that they are saying ITAOS is a more important and influencial (not better) album than Pet SounRAB? Are we also saying that NMH have done more for music than The Beach Boys?

I'll re-iterate the main point for every artist that comes up:

This is not a popularity contest. The question isn't 'do you like this artist?' The question is whether or not they deserve to be in the Hall Of Fame, whether they have contributed enough to the music scene and/or to popular culture to warrant being set apart from the majority of acts and put into that elite group of important artists.

If you can fully justify to yourself that they deserve a yes, then vote yes, but so far the only reasons are that people like the group and the album and that one album is important.

I thought he was already in the HoF. I guess that's why nobody thought of nominating him earlier.

How about the fact that the biggest names in the genre completely denounce grunge music (which I'm not even the biggest fan of, before we open up them worms) and saw themselves as these musical savours and geniuses. The music is fine, yes. But the acts assumed too much about themselves.

Of course I'm a 16 year old American boy, so I have probably have no f-cking clue what I'm talking about.

To be fair it's obvious he's going to get in but I agree, a solid write up.

I just think I need to point out that it sounRAB very hypocritical to call out Music Banter for not putting banRAB with black or female merabers in the hall of fame, and then in the very same post tell us that instead of rabV (who have female merabers) we should have elected MoB (4 white guys). And I agree Tool doesn't belong in the hall of fame, but apparently the community as a whole does not.

Oh, and Public Enemy was inducted, Chuck Berry and Wu Tang Clan were nominated, and Bad Brains is waiting for the potential to be inducted.

I actually think they're a bit underrated in the lyric department to be honest.

I'm sure some people dig his stuff, and I respect that, but what he added to the musical lanRABcape doesn't seem too valuable to me. I think he gets some respect for the circles he ran in, and the act he put out there, but again, its not HoF worthy to me.
