Hall Of Fame: Induction Thread Number 1 (lyrics, singer, alternative, hip-hop)

[Cobe Kai]

I have 100 posts now, so:

Led Zeppelin; Yes, because they're such a huge influence
Joy Division; No, because I haven't listened to them and can't judge them.
Elliott Smith; No, because I haven't listened to them and can't judge them.
The Beatles; A resounding yes, for their influence to music and for making some great songs.
King Crimson; No, because I haven't listened to them and can't judge them.
Wu-Tang Clan; No, because I haven't listened to them and can't judge them.
The Velvet Underground; No, because I haven't listened to them and can't judge them.


Also, I nominate The Melvins and The Pixies

Then write up a nomination and PM it to Piss Me Off.

If you want to nominate someone you have to put a bit of effort in it.

I'll do it in time for the next one.

Hehe. I guess I just like to keep up to date on the threads I'm interested in. So when there's a debate, I keep track of it etc. etc. I don't make posts for the sake of it, I do them to reply to somebody. I've also only made three main threads (fourth is an introductory thread). Each of which is relevent to the board, so I'm not even spamming. lol.

Also, interesting fact:
Total Posts: 116 (20.95 posts per day)
lol.

My post was in response to a post by sweet nothing that was nearly identical, stop trying to bait me.

I'll take that as a compliment.



I'd like them more if they showed the same kind of respect to their own influences.



Um then what other choice is there?

You can just not vote either way. Like I did on Joy Division. And it's not a compliment, but you already know that.

Of course it is, but it's the MUSIC BANTER hall of fame, not the Dreadnaught or Jayjamjah Hall of Fame, I have consistently said you should vote based on both personal opinion and how you think the band is viewed by Musicbanter.

I don't care for Joy Division but I see how much influence they have on the people hear and did not want to stand in the way of them getting in. I won't help them get in, but I won't stop them either.

Led Zeppelin; Yes, I was obsessed with them in 9th grade, quality tracks, and their first 5 albums are very consistent

Joy Division; Yes, the fact that Interpol could completely lift their sound 25 years later and become a commercial success speaks volumes about their influence, nevermind the fact that the quality of the music on their 2 albums is very high.

Elliott Smith; Yes, one of the best singer/songwriters of the 90's


The Beatles; Yes...okay, when I first joined I voted no to their induction, because I was ignorant to the format of the site, and assumed this was just another forum where Beatles nerds attend Ringo Starr concerts and masturbate to John Lennons "Two Virgins" album. I was tired of the incessant Beatles pandering. However, I have since learned that the users of this site are quite knowlegable, and merely masturbate to the cover of The White Album.

King Crimson; Yes, the fact that they can make a prog album that I actively enjoy makes them a great band to me.


Wu-Tang Clan; N/A been meaning to give a listen but havent got around to it.


The Velvet Underground; Yes, any band flexible enough to write "Sunday Morning", "Sister Ray", and "Sweet Jane" and have such a massive influence for the next 40 years deserves to be in 100%.

if you cant judge them why did you vote no? wouldnt it have been fairer to just not vote?

[enemyat_thesix]

i don't like any of these bands, but for god's sake don't induct Wu-Tang, they are a terrible hip-hop group
