I'm not really sure what constitutes an independent label either. Though for the most part I think as long as they're relatively underground or "alternative" to the mainstream they should be allowed. Obviously not the ones that will most likely make the real Hall ...]]> Fri, 28 Aug 2009 21:41:03 -0600 Rabidbadger on MoM's (Independent) Music Hall of Fame http://www.messofmusic.com/forum/music-talk/moms-independent-music-hall-of-fame/#p288 Music Talk http://www.messofmusic.com/forum/music-talk/moms-independent-music-hall-of-fame/#p288 What’s the official definition of an Independent label? I never paid attention to who slapped the songs on vinyl and sent them to stores, i just bought music I liked. And so many labels that seemed independent were actually created or bought out by major labels. And reprints of once ...]]> Fri, 28 Aug 2009 09:11:24 -0600 Danberg on MoM's (Independent) Music Hall of Fame http://www.messofmusic.com/forum/music-talk/moms-independent-music-hall-of-fame/#p287 Music Talk http://www.messofmusic.com/forum/music-talk/moms-independent-music-hall-of-fame/#p287 I hereby nominate the following:

In fact, I'm about 95% sure there is a currently active version of The Sex Pistols.

Take this next part with a grain of salt: I am in an extreme minority that think ...]]> Tue, 25 Aug 2009 14:54:40 -0600 briancraig on MoM's (Independent) Music Hall of Fame http://www.messofmusic.com/forum/music-talk/moms-independent-music-hall-of-fame/#p281 Music Talk http://www.messofmusic.com/forum/music-talk/moms-independent-music-hall-of-fame/#p281 i don't think a minimum number of years is necessary. if a group made such a monumental impact on the musical landscape and influenced a number of other bands, yet only existed for a short period of time, shouldn't their accomplishments be the important part? what does longevity ...]]> Tue, 25 Aug 2009 14:24:45 -0600 danhauk on MoM's (Independent) Music Hall of Fame http://www.messofmusic.com/forum/music-talk/moms-independent-music-hall-of-fame/#p279 Music Talk http://www.messofmusic.com/forum/music-talk/moms-independent-music-hall-of-fame/#p279 That sounds good to me. I think they only really need to be "active" for 5 years (i.e. 5 years as a band?) because some bands have released lots of stuff in only 5 years. So I think we can start taking nominations.

Also, do you guys think it would be ...]]> Tue, 25 Aug 2009 10:45:39 -0600 Danberg on MoM's (Independent) Music Hall of Fame http://www.messofmusic.com/forum/music-talk/moms-independent-music-hall-of-fame/#p276 Music Talk http://www.messofmusic.com/forum/music-talk/moms-independent-music-hall-of-fame/#p276 Okay, ladies and gentlemen. Here is what we have so far:

- Artist(s) must have been listed as "active" 20 years prior to year of eligibility (currently 1989)
- Artist(s) nominated must be considered independent, meaning a major portion of their years active
would need to be on an ...]]> Tue, 25 Aug 2009 04:41:13 -0600
