Music Banter Hall of Fame: Induction Thread 4

[Callan D]

Nirvana is a soul band?

[Çö�¤ ¹]

And I used to think you were cool. =\

[bye bye michael jackson]

We're on our 4th one now and again there were a lot of postives so theres a juicy batch here. Read below if you don't know the rules kiRAB.

The nominees are:

Capt. Beefheart

Nick Cave

Nirvana

Blur

Neil Young

My Bloody Valentine

John Zorn


How this works:

If you have over 100 posts under your name then you can vote, feel free to voice your opinions if you have less posts though.
There won't be a poll, votes will be made publically by posting in this thread. You can vote for yes or no as many times as you want, as long as there's an explanation for your vote. If you haven't heard enough so feel you can't decide you can abstain.
So a post here would look like....

Neil Young: Yes, because....
Nirvana: No, because....
Blur: Yes, because...
etc.

The artists that get 2/3rd Yes votes for them get in, easy as that. Those who don't get in can still be nominated at a later date.

This'll be open for a week and a half, since people seem to be confused remeraber you are voting what YOU think should be in the Hall Of Fame, not what you think others would want or whatever.

Get voting broheims!

I'd rather listen to 13 than The Great Escape

[Daddys Little Princess]

He means they fill the soul with great music.

I've never really understood why we have to vote twice, can't the ones that got enough yes's just get in and only the ones that came close to having more yes's than no's be up for deliberation?

Captain Beefheart- A huge YES, The man was an innovator of the highest calibre. Where would so many of my other favorite avant garde artists be without this guy? He must be inducted!

Nick Cave- Abstaining. I've never heard a single song of his... Which I know is very odd. Considering his huge fanbase and everything, you'd think I woulda crossed something by now...

Nirvana- Yes. I don't have much to say, but they were more than just any old grunge band.

Blur- Abstaining here as well, I don't know enough about them.

Neil Young- Abstain, I've never cared enough to listen to him.

My Bloody Valentine- YES. One of my favorite banRAB. Loveless is a shoegaze masterpiece. I did take into consideration the fact that they have only 2 albums, but I love them both so much that I felt these guys were still worthy of the HOF.

John Zorn- Unfortunately, I must abstain. He sounRAB like someone I would absolutely love. I'm a little scared to go wading through his massive discography to find a decent starting point.

I can't vote on account of my measly post count, but I would say that there is much more to Blur than is immediately apparent. Not saying this warrants their inclusion in the hall of fame. Certainly on a musical and compositional level, Blur are far superior to say, Nirvana - but just not as influential.

I'm always willing to agree to disagree on music...we're talking about preferences, not objective facts. You like them a lot, I don't. There's nothing to argue about that.

And I never called them "rubbish." Just not that exciting a band.

[debjani]

Just the fact that rabV is on this list give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
