Music Banter Hall of Fame: Induction Thread 4

[Grotesque Head]

I can't vote on account of my measly post count, but I would say that there is much more to Blur than is immediately apparent. Not saying this warrants their inclusion in the hall of fame. Certainly on a musical and compositional level, Blur are far superior to say, Nirvana - but just not as influential.

Blur aren't gonna be inducted, are they?

That's really up to one's opinion, as I would choose Nirvana over Blur anyday. For me, Blur just didn't connect emotionally the way Nirvana could. I could stand back and admire the musicianship but I never quite felt it, if you know what I mean.

But that's just my opinion about it, I'm sure it won't change the mind of anyone else.

Capt. Beefheart - I only have two of his records and whereas I may not be as into him as some here seem to be they are good enough for me to vote yes. I have an interest to hear more. Yes.

Nick Cave - Kind of similar to Beefheart in this response, but what I have heard I very much like. Yes.

Nirvana - I was listening to some Nirvana yesterday, before that it had been a long, long time. However regardless of how often I listen to them now I cant forget how key a band they were for me when I was starting to broaden my horizons a little beyond indie music. Most definitely deserving of a yes.

Blur - Yes. Blur had a knack for writing very infectious pop music and they did it very well. Didnt hurt that they were able to branch out beyond this at times too.

Neil Young - When i'm in the mood Neil Young is outstanding. I haven't even really scratched the surface with his back catalogue but what i've heard I love. Yes.

My Bloody Valentine - I simply don't know enough i'm afraid. I know how badly some people big them up and no doubt I will get around to checking some of their stuff out eventually but for now no comment.

John Zorn - Sorry, hadn't heard of the guy until a couple of weeks ago. No comment.

Some people are just too dense to realize their greatness. =[

[FaSho]

That's what I said about The Smiths

[Antonio]

Capt. Beefheart -Yes, can't really say anything that hasn't been said before

Nick Cave-N/V haven't heard enough for a good opinion of him

Nirvana-Despite my inclinations with this band, i'm going to say Yes. alot of the influence and change in the music industry came as a result of them. plus their break up gave Dave Grohl the push he needed to start one of my favorite bands, the Foo Fighters.

Blur-N/V haven't heard enough for a good opinion of them

Neil Young-Yes, I nominated him for God sakes

My Bloody Valentine-N/V haven't heard enough for a good opinion of them

John Zorn-Listen to the first Naked City album and you'll see why i'm voting Yes.

[Double X]

What I have so far

Captain Beefheart 10/12
Nick Cave 8/12
Nirvana 13/18
Blur 7/13
Neil Young 5/9
MBV 7/8
John Zorn 4/5

note that these are only what I have gathered and could be completely wrong or made up

[Piss Me Off]

I'd like to assume you're right because it saves me time counting in the end.
