Music Banter Hall Of Fame: Nominations Thread (lyric, techno, indie)

Double X · 07-14-2008, 06:17 PM

I'm not a huge fan but you have to be deaf or just dumb not to vote yes for Zeppilen. You can say they have bad vocals and songwriting, overrated pioneering or whatever. But in the end they made some great hard rock and had one of the best guitarists, bassists, and drummers ever. Unless your hall of fame has 10 bands in it, LZ should definitely be in.

I am going to say no Im afraid. They bore the arse off me and I like maybe five/six tracks by them. On virtue of album sales and popularity they probably WILL go in but I never dug them way back then and my opinion has never changed.

****in' A.

I love Led Zeppelin. I could go on for hours about how they are my favorite hard rock act ever, but I don't want to bore the pants off everyone. Just know this: If you hated everything Led Zeppelin ever did and thought they were utter trash, it should still be difficult to vote no. Their influence on modern rock is incredible. Though it would be inconceivable to say that the world wouldn't have any hard rock without Led Zeppelin, it would certainly be much, MUCH lamer.

Yes. For the riffs.

One of the ways I like to describe them is "Considerably better then anyone else ever in their genre" To me bands like them The Beatles, Who, Floyd, Dylan etc. are automatics through the first round.

Are you as discouraged as me over all the "no" votes already? I get that people don't like them but I don't get how anyone would exclude them from nomination to the hall of fame, they are clearly a ton of Zeppelin fans here.

I suppose it's a difficult one, you have to balance between whether you think they deserve to be in there and your own personal opinions.

Also, I could do with people sending more nominations, would be very grateful!

I'll make one for someone, if I ever get time to.

I thought this was a poll to determine our favorite bands here? Influence should not be a factor; I don't think anyone who voted "no" (including me) would deny that Led Zep was an incredibly influential (and popular) band, but this isn't a "most influential artists" list. If it was, then Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan would be in the top three, and I don't think that's going to happen here (and it would be somewhat boring anyway; talking about music is best when you're talking about subjective topics).

When I get enough posts I will.

Please Read the Title

It's the hall of fame, not favorite artists. Why would we have a yes or no for it then?
