UM Hall of Fame April '16 Edition

[suckerleaf]

Enough of these Darkthrone/Venom arguments and on to more important things like why Dio hasn't made the cut.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

I hope they will sometime, the band more than deserves the cut as does nearly every band Ronnie's ever been in, including Rainbow.

 

[Baroque]

Ronnie Dio & the Prophets probably deserves a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame too.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Couldn't agree more, The Elves/Elf too.

 

[CiG]

Fuck that shit, hahaha.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Fuck that shit, hahaha.

What shit?

 

[CiG]

Oh wait Baroque said "Rock & Roll Hall of Fame" I read it wrong.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Cassette proving himself to be the paragon of English literacy as always.

 

[CiG]

Beer and baked beans is my own only priority.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

As is the case for all great linguists and English professors.

Just finished tallying the votes, hope I didn't make too many mistakes. We've got a rather large winning class this year, and a damn good one too. Stay tuned for when I post the results at midnight. You have until then to notify me of any alterations in your votes or, for those who haven't yet participated, to submit a ballot. This is some cool shit, keep it up.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Alright. The votes are tallied, and the bands and artists have been selected. This is the class of April 2016 for the Ultimate Metal Hall of Fame!

Celtic Frost - (7 votes)
Fates Warning - (7 votes)
Dio - (6 votes)
Venom - (5 votes)
Mercyful Fate - (5 votes)
Morbid Angel - (5 votes)
Mayhem - (5 votes)
Manowar - (5 votes)
Death - (5 votes)
Voivod - (5 votes)
Candlemass - (5 votes)

 

[Phylactery]

You're not putting all of them in are you? Seems far too many. Maybe just include the ones that got 5 votes and above? Even though it means At the Gates miss out, I think it's enough.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

I wasn't sure about it either. The way it's been done so far is to have first through fifth place. As far as I can tell, these bands all tied at these particular numbers. It is an extravagant amount, so maybe we should. I'll have to think on it.

 

[Burkhard]

Just a slight correction: Candlemass also got 5 votes.

I don't think that it makes sense to add all of those. It's probably best to stick with the ones that got over a certain number of votes.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Fair enough. I'll remove all the ones that got under 5 votes (as per Phylactery's suggestion). I think if I add this many it'll just take the momentum and excitement out of the game too early.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Just a slight correction: Candlemass also got 5 votes.

Thanks.
