Frank Zappa
Abstain - I like him, and he's fun, but I'm just not sure. I still need to give him some more listens, I only have two albums.

The Clash
Abstain - Zero listens

Bob Dylan
Yes - It's Bob Fecking Dylan

Pink Floyd
Yes - Yes, one of the greatest acts ever.

Big Black
Abstain - Not enough listens

Tom Waits
Yes - It's Tom ****ing Waits!

The Smiths
Yes - Smiths fanboy reporting in!

Chuck Berry
No - I just don't think he has made enough good music. Influential yes, but there are a lot more things that are more influential that aren't even up for nomination.

I guess based on other people's posts we've decided that we're only voting based on personal preference? No regard for influence or impact on music in general? Doesn't make for very interesting discussion if you ask me, but with that in mind, here are my votes:

Frank Zappa
No, because I don't like him.

The Clash
Yes, because I like them.

Bob Dylan
No, because I don't like him.

Pink Floyd
Yes, because I like them.

Big Black
Yes, because I like them.

Tom Waits
Yes, because I like him.

The Smiths
No, because I like them somewhat, but not that much.

Chuck Berry
Yes, because I like him.

Well the nomination threads don't offer that much discussion... most of the time its just votes with no justification either way (Not saying I ain't guilty

)

And then the other times its mainly just yes because x reason with no real discussion or feedback

If boo boo didn't get upset over Berry/Yes not getting in, then there wouldn't be any real discussion anyway. And most of the discussion comes out of who does and who doesn't get in at these stages.

The OP for the last one of these said the whole point was to start discussion but you're right, given the way most people want to treat it as less of hall of fame situation (i.e. voting for people based on achievement) and more of just a popularity contest, it doesn't generate as much discussion as it could.

Frank Zappa
Yes, so many albums and such a huge influence.

The Clash
No, I've always thought they were widely overrated. Plus, it's my vote and I'll do what I wish with it.

Bob Dylan
Yes, one of the best song writers of time.

Pink Floyd
Yes, a staple in progressive/rock history for decades.

Big Black
Abstain, no ground to stand on with this artist.

Tom Waits
Yes, his style is incredibly unique.

The Smiths
No, always kind of annoyed me.

Chuck Berry
Yes, the first rock n' roll soloist, I love pretty much all of his music. It's a shame MB doesn't give him more love.
