MB Albums Hall of Fame
 

What are everyone's thoughts on creating a hall of fame for albums here on Music Banter similar to the artist thread in general music?

I think it would be cool, definitely. We've had plenty of attempts to do one for each of the sub forums, some of which have worked very well (the reggae thread) but this would be an easier way to do a general one, as long as people weren't too amazingly obvious with their choices.

Im down, so long as it's maintained and updated. We've been waiting on the other hall of fame for how long now?

I'm glad someone complained because i really was laxxing there!

I think it would work better if we had one for each sub-forum, like introductory albums.

Definitely subforums...I'd love to do this.

Sounds like a big task, a lot of people are strong out of the gate but fade fast on things like this. With the right personnel behind, this might just be bad ass.

We already have one of those.

Pretend I'm linking to my 1001 since I'm too lazy to find/update it.

Ok, let's start throwing our names in people...

I'd be willing to work on the Indie/Alternative or Avant Garde/Experimental subforum HOF.

Indie/Alternative or Hip-hop/rap I could do I think. Or at least help out with. Maybe folk/world music too. Maybe.

I think having sub forums would completely defeat the purpose. The idea of a hall of fame or something like it is too compare and contrast above and beyond genres, eras, and styles.

I am against the idea in all and think the best approach would be to focus the same approach to the genre introduction threads.

True but I am worried that people will be too elitist when an album from genres like Post Rock and Rap come about and it will just end up being a rehash of our artist's HOF.

To me the Hall of Fame has been a big success. People have exposed themselves to a lot of new music and it's not as easy as just being a popular trend or having a small but vocal following to get in.

One of my favorite bands and a group that no objective voter would ever vote against didn't make it and I still think overall we've gotten a lot more right then wrong. Plus you can always renominate and make a better case for their inclusion.

A major goal of the thread was to get people to speak passionately and informatively about why they like a particular band as much as they do.

Here's one that'll blow your mind, since I've been here I've found that the most anti-elitists are actually more elitist then the elitists themselves.

didn't we already have something like this a while ago?

I love how you just pop in like once every couple of weeks now, every idea is a retread at this point, just looking for shiny enough packaging to generate enough interest so that it may thrive.

I'm still on quite a bit, i just don't have much to contribute.
