As much as I love Elliott Smith, I do not think he deserves to be in the hall of fame. He wasn't original to the point of creating a genre, or influencing one. He did have a lot of passion, which is why I like him, but it wasn't a huge amount. Even Jimi Hendrix has more passion. Maybe if this was "Lyricbanter" I would vote for him, but music-wise, it is a no.
