*Music Banter Hall of Fame: Induction Thread 6*

NSW · 05-19-2010, 05:06 PM

It's that time everyone...for the 6th induction into the MB Hall of Fame.

Below is the list of eligible nominees, and the rules in case you've forgotten them.

The nominees are:

The Residents

Iron Maiden

Jimi Hendrix

Creedence Clearwater Revivial

Mission of Burma

Ludwig Van Beethoven

How this works:

If you have over 100 posts under your name then you can vote, feel free to voice your opinions if you have less posts though.
There won't be a poll, votes will be made publically by posting in this thread. You can vote for yes or no as many times as you want, as long as there's an explanation for your vote. If you haven't heard enough so feel you can't decide you can abstain.
So a post here would look like....

The Residents: Yes, because....
Iron Maiden: No, because....
Jimi Hendrix: Yes, because...
etc.

The artists that get 2/3rd Yes votes for them get in, easy as that. Those who don't get in can still be nominated at a later date.

This'll be open for a week and a half, since people seem to be confused remember you are voting what YOU think should be in the Hall Of Fame, not what you think others would want or whatever.

Happy voting y'all!

The Residents: Yes: Not everyone's cup of tea, but they deserve in for their sheer inventiveness, influence and decades-spanning body of work. One of the original avant-rock bands.

Iron Maiden: Yes: classic band who never cease to kick my arse.

Jimi Hendrix: Yes. No explanation necessary.

Creedence Clearwater Revival: N/A.

Mission of Burma: No. What's so special about them?

Ludwig Van Beethoven: Yes.

NumberNineDream · 05-23-2010, 08:09 AM

The Residents: Yes.
Iron Maiden: Yes.
Jimi Hendrix: Yes.
Creedence Clearwater Revival: N/A.
Mission of Burma: Yes.
Ludwig Van Beethoven: Yes.

**Janszoon** · 05-25-2010, 07:15 PM

The Residents: Yes. Unique and influential, that's the winning combination.

Iron Maiden: Yes, I guess. I don't personally like them but I recognize their level of influence.

Jimi Hendrix: Yes, of course. One of the most influential people in the history of rock and also quite unique. Win.

Creedence Clearwater Revival: Sure. Maybe not the most unique or most influential but still a damn good band.

Mission of Burma: Yes. Very influential in formation of indie rock. Also from my home town.

Ludwig Van Beethoven: Yes. Considering we're still talking about him almost 200 years after his death I'd say he deserves to make it in.

Residents-Yes one of the best and most innovative avant garde bands
Iron Maiden-N/A
Jimi Hendrix-Yes of course
Creedence Clearwater Revival-No Don't see them as anything special
Mission Of Burma-N/A
Beethoven-Yes can't deny his talent or influence

OctaneHugo · 05-19-2010, 05:56 PM

The Residents: Yes, because the amount of downright genius things they've done and ground they've broken is unmeasurable in number.

Iron Maiden: Yes, because they might just be the greatest metal band ever. They're the cream of the crop of the NWBHM which is the cream of the crop of metal.

Jimi Hendrix: Yes, because he was one of the greatest showmen of all time as well as one of the best guitar players ever. Despite not doing as much as most other artists he's one of the most unique and special musicians to ever live.

Creedence Clearwater Revivial: Never saw anything special in them, but I withhold a vote because I lack experience with their discography.

Mission of Burma: I've heard very little.

Ludwig Van Beethoven: Yes, one of the greatest classical composers of all-time deserves to get in. Wrote some of my favorite pieces ever.

RVCA · 05-19-2010, 05:59 PM

The Residents - NA, haven't heard enough
Iron Maiden - Yes. Run to the Hills? Number of the Beast? The Trooper? Such great rock out songs
Jimi Hendrix - Yes
CCR - NA
Mission of Burma - NA
Beethoven - Yes, are you kidding? One of the most influential musicians of all time.

clutnuckle · 05-19-2010, 05:59 PM

The Residents - Yes, from what I've heard they've definitely put more than enough interesting and provocative material out to justify such a position.

Iron Maiden - No, I respect them for influencing some bands that I enjoy, but I don't see a point in cheering on a canon artist that I've never myself enjoyed.

Jimi Hendrix - Yes, he has a sort of mystique surrounding him, and his playing style was highly entertaining.

Creedence Clearwater Revivial - No, even though I am a fan of these guys, they are not worthy of such a title.

Mission of Burma - N/A

Ludwig Van Beethoven - Yes, I've frequently listened to his sonatas and was mesmerized. His influence is well-deserved.

Violent & Funky · 05-19-2010, 07:01 PM

The Residents: Abstain

Iron Maiden: Abstain

Jimi Hendrix: Yes, for being a boss

Creedence Clearwater Revivial: Abstain

Mission of Burma: Abstain

Ludwig Van Beethoven: No, because we don't talk about him here on MusicBanter enough

Its hard to believe that no one has voted for Creedence Clearwater Revival, these guys have sold over 26 million albums in the US alone and they were only together for a short period of time from 1967 until a decline & breakup in 1970, they played the Atlantic Pop Festival and Woodstock, their set was not included in the film Woodstock or its original soundtrack because John Fogerty felt the bands performance was subpar.
Here are just a few songs they released in a 3 year span.
Fortunate Son.
Proud Mary.
Suzie Q.
Bad Moon Rising.
Green River.
Have You Ever Seen The Rain.
Who'll Stop The Rain.
Born On A Bayou.
Down On The Corner.
I heard It Through The Grapevine.
After the 70s breakup of CCR John Fogerty released,
Old Man Down The Road.
& Run Through The Jungle.
They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1993.
In my personal opinion CCRs music stands with the best in Rock & Roll history and has influenced the music industry for over 40 years.
