but there already is a popular music hall of fame. it's called the rock and roll hall of fame.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

Isn't it already the Popular Music HOF, essentially? Like with some hip hop acts already in? I might be confused. by the question.

That's the sense I got when I went there. Lot of Hip Hop in there, Bob Marley, Bobby Darin, bunch of doo-wop and old R&B/Soul singers.

Definitely more of a general music hall of fame than the name lets on.

 

[Unholy Diver]

Why would I have a vote for a HOF that is in a business that I am not a part of?

Where’s the “I don’t like any of these” option??

 

[Hierso]

Kraftwerk.

 

[kihei]

Kraftwerk
Coltrane
King Crimson
maybe Sonic Youth

 

[hockey webcomics]

You deserve a star point for casting Big Star on the list.

Where’s the “I don’t like any of these” option??

It’s over in the “I have bad taste in music” thread. What, is it really just metal or nothing for you?

 

[sr edler]

Kraftwerk's amazing obviously. WH's famous/good enough to qualify. The Smiths and Coltrane as well. Sonic Youth's got one good song (The Diamond Sea), so no. The rest on that list, also no.

 

[Smelling Salt]

Those are all highly influential artists at minimum, with a handful also being highly popular record sales/hits wise. If influence alone is high on the list of HOF requirements - which I think it is for many who vote - a large chunk of those are gonna make it eventually. Priest "only" being in for Excellence is a cop out.
