For the love of all that is good in the world, no, Belle And Sebastian should not make it into the hall of fame. I have in the past compared their music to some kind of awful artisan bread that is hyped to the heavens by artisan bread aficionados as something amazing, but when you actually try a piece it's just dry and bland and stale and... well... bread. I still think this is a pretty apt metaphor for this excruciatingly boring band who, for me, represent everything that can be awful about indie pop.
