Music Banter Hall of Fame: Induction Thread 3 (lyrics, punk, rock)

[Piss Me Off]

Frank Zappa: Yeah, i'd shy away from him calling a genius but he certainly made music more fun.
The Clash: Definitley, one of my favourites.
Bob Dylan: Abstain, i haven't got enough stuff i don't give him enough time sadly.
Pink Floyd: Yep, the more i listen the more i love.
Big Black: Yep, one of noise rocks best.
Tom Waits: In no way could i say no.
The Smiths: My favourite band, ja.
Chuck Berry: Nope. Don't get testy with me, he's influential but i never listen to him.

[khfreek]

Frank Zappa: Yes, because Inca Roads is one of my fav songs and apparently his discography is pretty consistent. Not to mention I just listened to his first album, which was hilarious.
The Clash: Yes, because they're decent and very influential.
Bob Dylan: No, I don't like his style.
Pink Floyd: Yes, they've got several classic albums.
Big Black: Abstaining.
Tom Waits: Abstaining.
The Smiths: Yeah, great stuff.
Chuck Berry: Nope, I don't like his style, for all his influence.

[Zarko]

Frank Zappa: Yes, Well I did nominate him...
The Clash: Nah, not a fan.
Bob Dylan: Yes, You don't need to listen to too much of his discography to find stuff you like... Influential enough for it to be a factor for me
Pink Floyd: Yes, I used to be iffy on them, loving only an album or two but have since turned a corner
Big Black: No - I mean I like em and have all of their albums, I just don't like em enough
Tom Waits: God yes... Just the voice should be enough to get him in
The Smiths: Nah, never been a fan
Chuck Berry: Nada, listened to enough to realise it ain't my thing.

[Bulldog]

Frank Zappa: Yes. He's a staple when it comes to the avante-garde side of music and has a string of classic albums to his name.

The Clash:
Yes. One of the most important and deservedly popular bands from the first wave of British punk.

Bob Dylan:
Yes. Another one of music's most influential figures and has the classic albums to back him up.

Pink Floyd:
Yes. Dogs - 'nuff said.

Big Black:
I like what I've heard, but that's not really a lot of their stuff, so I'm afraid I'll have to abstain.

Tom Waits:
Yes. One of the most unique, prolific, charismatic and consistent people in music.

The Smiths:
Yes. I wouldn't call them one of my favourites, but there's no doubt they belong in the Hall Of Fame.

Chuck Berry:
I'll abstain from this one as well. As influential as he was, I simply don't listen to his music often enough.

[TheBig3]

Frank Zappa: Yes, one of the only people who can play for nearly 10 mins and I still enjoy it (him and James Brown really)

The Clash: I'm honestly not that big of a fan. Sorry, but no.

Bob Dylan: Yes. Highway 61 was ballsy and thats merit enough for me.

Pink Floyd: No thanks. Sorry jackhammer, but their not me.

Big Black: I'd vote yes if I'd heard more, but for now I'm abstaining.

Tom Waits: Yes.

The Smiths: I voted no previously, but I think honestly they are deserving. I'm a huge proponent of people living outside of their times. Yes/

Chuck Berry: No thanks.

[Gareth Brown]

Frank Zappa: No. Haven't heard much and don't like what i've heard.
The Clash: London Calling is the **** so they get a yes.
Bob Dylan: Abstain
Pink Floyd: Nahhh.
Big Black: Great band. Bad Penny alone is enough to get them in. Yes.
Tom Waits: Haven't heard much and haven't like what i've heard. No.
The Smiths: Amazing. Truly a unique sound. Yes.
Chuck Berry: Abstain

Can someone explain the rationale behind casting a vote against music you've never heard? I don't get it. If you haven't heard it just abstain.

I didn't realise there was an abstain option until just now. I will edit my post.
