It's that time of year again...

How many people ITT are voters for the HOF? 

That's right.  Zero

I don't see how that's stopped your opinions. 

[AFK]

It doesn't, but in regard to the criteria I posted, whether or not a band fits that mold ultimately is up to those empowered to vote in the inductees.  So whether or not it is questioned on PD.COM is irrelevant.

So then your opinion is irrelevant, on all of it. ESPECIALLY so on Nirvana.

[AFK]

As far as a discussion on a discussion board, of course it is relevant.  But when it comes to the actual process of inducting, utilizing the aforementioned criteria, it is of course irrelevant what any of us think.

But, seriously, anyone who thinks Nirvana should not be inducted first ballot, whether you like them or not, you're just not rational.  I hate the fucking Beatles but completely agree with them being in the HOF.

Third-rate junkie mope rock. And in the end, the "movement" it "inspired" was about as inspiring as the movement I just had. In my toilet. And lasted about as long.

[East Coast Hustle]

I am, however, reveling in the irony of you championing a band that mostly sang about being dopesick because of their lasting influence on society.

That part, friends and neighbors, is pretty friggin' hilarious.

[AFK]

We're talking about Nirvana, not Alice In Chains.

[AFK]

Although, AIC and Pearl Jam (as much as I really don't like PJ ) should both get inducted as well. 

Also, unrelated, it's a crime that Faith No More haven't made it in yet.

[East Coast Hustle]

It would be an insult to Faith No More.

Thread merger with all of the previous RWHN threads, since they are all the same? It's like he's had explosive diarrhea all over the board. Maybe he should get that checked out, because he's been pissing out of his ass for months now, and we're forced to wallow in it.

All it really says to me is that the HoF has nothing relevant to say about music worth listening to.

I thought Nirvana and Pearl Jam were the same thing for a long time. As soon as the whining screeching started, I changed the station. Couldn't stand their voices.

They don't sound even remotely similar.

It all sounded like garbage at the time. Sorry.

That's because Garbage was also produced by Butch Vig.

I want to put something in context, Reverend WHN.

In 1995, I was ten. I didn't know what the hell Nirvana was, much less that Kurt Cobain had died the year before. I do remember a darn good Bill Nye parody of "Smells like Teen Spirit" called "Air Pressure", but I didn't even understand the connection till I was out of High School. I was listening to music my parents listened to, classic rock and the like. By the time I had gotten to an age where I might have cared about Nirvana, their time was long since passed. The early 2000s were full of shitty music on the radio, but I was by that point deeply into classical guitar and didn't listen to the radio anyway.

In other words, I really don't have any opinions about Nirvana. And it seems like the people who really do, who really like them, all are of a certain age, where they were in their late teens or early twenties during the early 90's, of a certain high school or college scene, and certain image. The only other people who seem to care about that band are the ones who make money off of it, or are critics trying to buy their way into that crowd. From my (limited) standpoint, it seems to be a whole lot of hype that didn't stand the test of time. But YMMV; come ask me again in 20 years.

Seconded.
