Music Banter Hall Of Fame: Nominations Thread

Double X · 12-25-2008, 08:21 PM

So what if someone was to nominate Roger McGuinn then? Would you consider his Byrds work? Because then we have way too many individuals being put in...

For what its worth, I have already nominated Zappa, just a waiting game now

If the wanks EVER fix my computer

Yeah, good point. I would say that work more associated with a group, shouldn't be considered for an individual. The Mothers Of Invention music is pretty much associated with Zappa.

Neutral Milk Hotel fail pretty massively at getting in.

Last one before another induction thread, this ones by Waspstar...

Echo & The Bunnymen

They're not the most influential group ever, and people will forever argue the merits of their slide away from "post-punk," not to mention their "reunion," but in the end, they're responsible for at least two classic albums and a host of memorable singles. Pete DeFreitas and Les Pattinson are one of the best rhythm sections rock's ever had, and though Ian McCullough tends to overvocalize, his cryptic lyrics complement the music perfectly.

Fixed.

A no from me. Though on paper i should love them i've never really clicked with them. I just don't see the big deal at all.

I want to change my vote now.

Big yes from me: between their popular singles and a few great albums (Crocodiles, Heaven Up Here, Ocean Rain), they brought a little extra to the post-punk wave.

Alfred · 12-29-2008, 05:35 PM

Very big yes. They're among my most played bands, and they made interesting and enjoyable music. They deserve to be in the hall of fame, definitely.
