It should be assumed the Beatles are in the hall of fame anyway, why waste the time to vote them in?

So you even ADMIT they deserve to be in but you voted against them anyway just to be different?

I don't like you.

Voted yes, just posting to get this back in my subscribed threads.

The Beatles? Of course. Anyone who votes otherwise...

The beatles? Hell yes, We shouldn't even need a vote for this but...at the risk of being unpopular, Elliot Smith? Joy Division? I'm a big fan of Joy Division and even I don't understand this, Surely there are some far more deserving bands.

^ That post won't harm your level of popularity on MB.

We could just fast track all the obviously deserving bands such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan etc, etc. and save us the bother of having a nomination process for the heavyweights, so to speak, but as someone has already pointed out, this isn't a general all encompassing Hall of Fame. It's the 'MusicBanter Hall of Fame' and should reflect the choice of bands by the members here.

We could always copy and paste the standard HMV, Rolling Stone, or any other dull, predictable and largely inaccurate most popular band bollocks if you'd prefer...

i think that after 25 votes, and a band has over 90%...we can pretty much let 'em in and go on to the next one

I was never popular anyway,

Aye makes more sense to me, I mean I've never fully understood wether we were listing simply the greatest bands of all time or our favourite bands...

Still wasn't aware that joy division were very popular with this board mind you. o.0

This is all I meant by voting "No". Bands like the beatles are obviously going to get in automatically, and after a few months the "hall of fame" will be filled with your standard "rolling stone top 50 bands ever" baby boomer blowing trash. Yeah, The Beatles, Stones, Led Zeppelin, etc should all be in. But after month 6 of the 30th landslide vote welcoming in another obvious 60's group that is in every single 'best of' list ever, everyone will tire of the process and the more underrated/unknown groups (at least more so than the Beatles) won't even had the effort put in to vote them in.

There might be ten sacred cows here even most of them will get some dispute.
