But of course. What else is there to say. Even his latest facial hair is cool.

Jeez, and I never nominated him months ago because I was sure he wasn't going to get in :: (Not saying he will but has started well)

I do like me some Nick Cave but I dunno.

I've found that it's been scientifically proven that guys who sing in a soft baritone voice are 70% more likely to make me go to sleep. But I don't mean that in an entirely negative way. His voice is just so soothing that it kinda makes me tired.

He's a hella talented musician and he makes great music. But it's a certain kind of music that I'm not really compelled to listen to that often.

But whatever. I'll vote yes.

10 to 1?

I voted yes but honestly it was barely so...
Whatever, I think I'm just pissed that PiL failed to be nominated.

I guess Nick Cave deserves to be nominated, but honestly I don't think we need him when he have the simular but far superior Bob Dylan.

Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out how that happened as well.

To elaborate on the point I made a few posts back, anyone with such a consistent discography deserves to go in by default. His first band Boys Next Door were crap, Nocturama with the Bad Seeds is pretty lame, but other those that I can't think of an album with his name on it that I don't like.

What does that mean? Why should it matter if Dylan is inducted? Does that make every other singer/songwriter not worth inducting? A great artist is a great artist. It shouldn't be about "well we already have an artist inducted who represents this kind of music"

Besides, I don't sense any real stylistic similarity between Cave and Dylan. Like Urban said, Cave is more kin to Johnny Cash than Dylan, he also comes off to me as somewhat of a modern day crooner. The hipster Sinatra if you will.

I'm just saying, there is nothing particularly special about Nick Cave. But being merely a passive fan of both Cave and Dylan I'll withdraw my argument.

The toughest one for me so far. Selfishly I'd say yes, but looking at other bands that have been excluded makes me go back and forth. I'm thinking yes for now and I'll reevaluate when the hall of fame induction voting comes around.

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.
