Bud the Baker Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 I've been watching Channel 4's Music Hall of Fame. Care to choose 5 acts one from each of the following decades; 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's? Five acts are exempt Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Bob Marley, U2 and Madonna. By clicking on the site below you can get onto their site and see the nominees:Hall of Fame 50's: Chuck Berry 60's: Bob Dylan 70's: Pink Floyd 80's: R.E.M. 90's: Nirvana There's lots of stuff on the site altho' not all of the pages work! Some of the commentry is pretty ropey too. How can Born to Run not be one of Springsteen's essential albums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorizaar Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 (edited) Missy Elliot? Spice Girls? Robbie Williams? Just what exactly were the criteria the acts were judged on for nomination in this nonsense? What a farce!

Bud the Baker Posted November 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 LS, I was reasonably happy with the choices offered apart from the 90's where I would have chosen Dream Theater (US band/spelling). Best Live bands I've seen - 1. Alice Cooper: Always a great show - backing band can be variable. 2. Bruce Springsteen (Edinburgh Playhouse 1981) - seen him at bigger venues since but he's was on top form on The River tour. 3. Bob Marley 4. Big Country: Loudest gig by far & I've seen Motorhead, Iron Maiden, The Who (First Farewell Tour) oh and Thin Lizzy 5. The Ramones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one crap site, it's got beer at £1.70 a pint in the 70S, when it claims an LP WAS £12.99........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Bud The Baker. Bob Marley you are one lucky man. Hope you were not on the weed ! Dream Theater should be bigger in this country i seen them in the Cathouse few years ago. Good choice Bud ! 50's: Chuck Berry60's: Bob Dylan 70's: Pink Floyd 80's: R.E.M. 90's: Nirvana This aint too bad ether though Chuck Berry must be a close run thing with Buddy Holly. So much good music in the 60s where do you begin infact maybe the best decade ever. 70s Again so many good progressive bands not easy to pick , has to be a personal choice REM were good best of the 08s mmmm ! Nirvana, ok Nivermind is a personal classic but best of the 90s fuu-cck off no way the other albums from Nirvana were not ground breaking. Has to be the Spice Gils Only jocking I dont know who it could be ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rothesay Saint Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 50s - Bobby Darin 60s - Beatles 70s - Mike Oldfield 80s - REM 90s- Radiohead Considering the 80s is supposed to be the worst decade for music, it was the hardest to choose, could have had Husker Du, Throwing Muses or OMD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reidy1987 Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Should be a realistic portrayal, then... Reminds me of the old joke - somebody asked Bobby Darin if he could sing "Beyond the sea" and he said, "Of course I can" and.... I'll let you fill in the rest.
