Just wondering why was Big Black put on this list? Seems a little out of place as you said, but was there a specific reason? Personally I love big black, just seems a little strange.

Because they were nominated by someone

How can you nominate a band?

Lol I was only joking but personally I do really like them I think they are massively underrated, obviously their lyrics are bollocks but the music is excellent and they are excellent musicians.
As for 'nominating' , just out of interest, how do you do it exactly?

Reading the post directly above you always helps.

Oryt sorry didnt notice that when I posted lol
Um cant be arsed anyway, I dont agree with these 'hall of fame' things- theyre just too predictable & anyway; who else is gonna vote for the likes of the Spin Doctors?

If Big Black can get in, anything's possible ;)

..but they didn't in the end. And The Smiths being rejected leaves me an empty husk. Not really, but you know.

But you & I know that The Smiths are a great band so does it really matter about these stupid Hall Of Fame things?
Ive not heard 'Big Black' yet but if you like them then thats all that should matter. The hall of fame is just about 'big' names & 'big' artists & are usually just based on mainstream popularity & to me the best musicians never really get the recognition that they deserve.
