BEA's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

benpaco · 2014-12-16T19:41:22-05:00

Hall of Fame inductees revealed today. People ranting a lot about Ringo's solo inclusion and Green Day's induction before the likes of Bon Jovi, The Cars, Duran Duran, Yes, Deep Purple, B-52's, the Cure, The Smiths, Joy Division/New Order, Judas Priest, ELO, etc. But whatever on that, there's a separate thread for commenting on that if you see fit. Since the R&R Hall of Fame is really just Jan Wenner picking who he wants (and, now, letting the fans pick 1 too it seems) and letting Bono get his way with his little Ian Curtis shrine in the museum (seriously since JD can't get in Bono funds a mini- Ian Curtis exhibit right before the timeline of music, it's rather odd), and since people complain all the time about the hall, why not do our own yearly (or perhaps twice yearly) ballot. The thought is this: Each year (or twice a year is how I lean if others are willing to do this twice a year), a chunk of regulars as defined below votes for the following: 5 Performers whose debut album came out 25+ years ago (following R&R HOF criteria) 1 Non-performer (producer, manager, journalist, hell, you got a favorite BEA user, throw them here) 4 Albums which came out at least 25 years ago Everyone votes for their 5 performers, 1 non-performer, 4 albums, and the results are put together. The 5 performers, 1 non performer, and 4 albums receiving the most votes will be inducted. Rule on voting: Vote for the ones you think are most deserving on your own accord of what that means. Just like there's no criteria for "best ever album", there's none for this. You think that Angry Samoans deserve a spot in the hall more than anyone else? Then vote Angry Samoans! Do whatever you see fit. Voters must be EITHER: Level 7+ user on the site (177 users fit this criteria) 600+ Posts on the forum (This adds only 25 users but include essential contributers, ie KKS, Cuba, Mies, Tracy, WindowAbove, Alex, Jewsom, Eyecanfly, etc) That brings us to a grand total of 202 possible voters, though probably minimum of 25% of those aren't on the site often or wouldn't contribute. An additional ballot will be cast on public vote, by anyone of any rank. I will start a google form, open to any and all responses from people. Regarding ties: If an induction is tied and locked, it would be my intent to open voting to the site on a games poll. There is a minimum level to vote on that (I believe level 2? 3? Not high), which would prevent it from being as public while still allowing a wider voice to break the tie. Ballots would be PMd to ensure that it doesn't get in the way of others' voting, with results released at the end without user's names attached. I'd really like to do this and have the due date be January 30, 2015 to give y'all time and because it's my birthday so that'd be easy to remember. I'm making this thread to: 1 Lay out rules 2 Clarify questions 3 See if anyone actually wants to do this or if the general response is "huh, that's a dumb idea". I think I'd want at least 20% voter turnout (which is 40 ballots including the public one), so if this isn't going to happen, it'd be good to know up front. Questions/comments/criticisms are welcomed below.

Alright, I've decided to keep this seperate from the BEAMAS at least for the first one, just because there's so many ballots happening all at once this time of year, and I've got to keep track of too much else atm. Expect it in march to avoid the User awards, the Pazz and Jop thing, BEAMAs, etc.

All in favor if this idea. The whole thing in general, but definitely keeping it separate from the BEAMAS.

So I've been waiting for the BEAMAs to finish presenting but at this point, I think if this idea has any chance of moving forward, I should get started on it soon, yeah?

🤣 sorry. But yeah you can do that. Although I'm doing some work for BEAMAs right now, so I think we will move forward soon (hopefully).

It's all good! I will start learning how to use google sheets and stuff for this and have a poll up this weekend.
