Music Banter Hall Of Fame: Nominations Thread

Piss Me Off · 10-21-2008, 07:31 AM

Sorry guys, internet being down + Uni is a pain.

Porcupine Tree have failed to be nominated, next up is a nom from Alfred.

At The Drive-In

At The Drive-In was one of the most influencial bands of the 1990's, and seemed to get better with every album they recorded. Their lyrics were cryptic and metaphoric, and their music was intense and emotional. Their final album was praised by many reviewers. Guitar World ranked it number 94 on thier list of 100 Greatest Guitar Albums Of All Time, and Spin Magazine ranked it number 83 on their 100 Greatest Albums of 1985 - 2005. Their sound ranged from simple Indie Rock to intense, emotional Post-Hardcore. Their sound was truly unique. At The Drive-In broke up in 2001, and formed two separate bands, The Mars Volta, and Sparta, the former which has recieved much critical acclaim.

No

Only made one album that was really worth anything & they spilt up without even trying to top it.

All a bit too flash in the pan to be in any hall of fame in my opinion.

I listened to them a lot in middle school but I've moved on.

Sorry, but no.

Minstrel · 10-21-2008, 02:24 PM

They're decent. Not that great, nor did they have a long career. Definitely not Hall of Fame material to me.

Heard one track years ago so I can't add them I'm afraid.

WWWP · 10-21-2008, 03:12 PM

Nope for me.

Oh well, you win some you lose some.

I really like Porcupine Tree but they did'nt make it. Look at it as a positive. No joining the masses
