That's the fun, if he found this forum I'm sure he'd actually start an account and argue with us.

That video makes me feel kinda sorry for them. But then I listen to anything from "Dark Horse" and I remember the reason they're getting pelted with rocks.

As tragic as it is Nickelback don't make it through and set new lows.

Nominated by Conan, funnily enough next up is..

Nirvana

One of (if not THE) most popular band of the 90's, Nirvana initially came into the world amongst the mud and muck of the Seattle grunge scene. The world knew Nirvana's name after the critically an commercially successful Nevermind was released, a popular fusion of Punk, Grunge and Pop shimmer.

Nirvana was a popular success, but instead of stick to the formula they challenged their audience with the great album In Utero, in an artistic blend of previous influences and new expirmental directions.

Nirvana should be nominated because they continue to be a success some 15 years after frontman Kurt Cobain's death. In Utero and the Posthumous "MTV Unplugged" continue sell well and to make critics lists. Nevermind was also selected by the Library of Congress as historically significant, and was added to the National Recording Registry.

It's an easy yes from me and I think they'll make it through this round.

I hope so because it will be really interesting come induction thread time.

They are too important to music, regardless of the circumstances of who made music in the genre, it is what it is and they were the face of a movement. I know we were stupid enough to keep Zeppelin out, but that won't happen again once they get renominated. Lets hurry and make this a landslide and start thinking about if their impacxt is significant enough to override any personal dislike and vote them in.

Obviously my vote on this is YES. And all apologies for the typos in the nomination.

Nirvana is atleast 100x better than Radiohead will ever be and they were inducted.

I'm not really sure. On the one hand I don't like them very much (besides a handful of songs) and I never really have. On the other hand, given their influence it'd be a crime if they didn't at least make the induction round. Plus the way they changed direction with In Utero when they could so easily have cashed in on a success formula earns them that little bit more respect from me.

I'm gonna stay out of this one as well.

Like a lot of angsty kids this is where a lot of it started for me and i still listen to them now which is pretty impressive. One of America's finest.
