Updated the first couple of posts. We are up to 25 HOF winners now. Pretty cool. There has been some contention at times but in my opinion these are one of the best things going on at Mofo at the moment. Hope it can continue on.

I don't know how much interest that would garner. I think maybe an independent HoF or a personal favorites HoF might do better.

We will talk about it in a couple months. No biggie. CR has a couple of more ideas ready to go as well. I think horror comedy would probably garner a lot of interest though. Not from me obviously. ;)

The comedy HoF was the biggest disaster.

After thinking about it, the nominations for a horror/comedy may be way too predictable.

Does anybody object to me running the Animation Hall of Fame (probably after Silents?)Of course everybody knows I'll be making a post:eek:

Regarding the meaning of the Hof Schedule, I like to know do we have:


A gentlemen's agreement where we take turns and follow the Hof schedule?

Or, is the schedule just a rough guideline and we can make Hofs when ever we want?

The important question seems to be, what do we all believe the schedule should represent? Maybe with some discussion we can all keep things running smooth.

This would get my vote, well basically. I think people should be able to start a HOF when they want. If they don't get participation because of the other ones running then they just hold off until people are ready. The only thing is i don't think people should join too many at one time, to avoid too many dropouts. I think that should be up to the host to decide whether to risk allowing people who are already in HOF's to join theirs because in the end it will be their HOF that is failing if they get dropouts because of this.

Not really bothered either way those are just my thoughts. I do find it a bit weird that people still want rules and schedules for the HOF when nobody cared when Omni started the Action Countdown.

The only thing is i don't think people should join too many at one time, to avoid too many dropouts.I agree with that. I would at least hope that people would stagger the starting dates and not start them at the same time. Other wise a more popular Hof could kill participation in a less popular Hof that was already on the schedule.


I think that should be up to the host to decide whether to risk allowing people who are already in HOF's to join theirs because in the end it will be their HOF that is failing if they get dropouts because of this.I agree too. And same for people who have a history of joining and dropping out, it should be up to the host to decide if they risk taking them or not.

I totally missed that whole discussion despite spending twelve hours a day here. I always looked at the lineup as a rough outline. Seems like most everyone mostly feels the same seeing as many people have asked to go later or waited a pretty long period of time before starting the specialty HOFs. The biggest thing is to keep it somewhat organized so that we don't get stretched too thin. Honestly another big thing is just to keep fly by nighters from coming in and just starting stuff. Because the truth is these things sound good to a lot of Mofos in theory but there have only been a handful of us that seem to want to put in the time over the long term.

Rauldc is certainly one of those people and Cricket has already said he more than likely won't be doing his. I think it is fine for him to go next. If anyone has any big objections let us know, so we can have another knock down drag out. :)

Oh and in case your reading this and somehow missed it, Silent HOF will be starting soon. I have already told Vamp I won't be joining but hope she gets some good participation.

Update and this is good news:)

Me and Vamp were discussing the upcoming Live Action Musicals/Musical Artist) that we are both hosting....and seeing how we both are currently hosting Hofs, it would be good if someone else went before the Musical Hofs.

So if Raul wants to do one...or if Sean wants to do one...or whoever, it would be cool. And we'll still do the Live Action Musicals/Musical Artist but at a latter date.

This is a really random idea and i don't even know if there'd be enough interest, but would anyone here be interested in a Simpsons HOF? I'm talking after all the other HOF's in line are done because if it did end up happening it isn't the same as the Looney Tunes one with 6-8 minute cartoons but three times that basically which would take a decent amount more time and would risk taking away participants for the other ones. I remember someone bringing up the idea of a TV Show HOF but most agreed that it wouldn't work out since not everyone watches the same shows or much TV at all here, and that there'd be more dropouts than usual since the suggestion was that people would have to watch a Season of a show which is obviously a much bigger commitment to something you aren't enjoying than a movie.

The Simpsons is not a show that you need to have watched in order or anything, it does have some sort of loose, contradictory, canon but overall it is just 20 minute episodes that you can start anywhere from, i suppose knowing the characters would improve your enjoyment but i assume most joining would already have seen the show and it doesn't take long to familiarize yourself with the characters, well as long as you've seen some within the first eight Seasons when the characterizations were consistent. If you haven't seen any and have wanted to try the show or whatever then there'd be no problem, most fans haven't been watching since episode 1, it aired before i was born (1989). The first episode is a really nice one that gives you the origin of a Simpson family member that pops out with an episode every four or five seasons: their dog Santas Little Helper, but it is not crucial in anyway to the series. The only episodes i can think of that would be a problem are Who Shot Mr Burns Part 2 if someone didn't nominate Part 1, and the Mona Simpson episodes after Mother Simpson but why would anyone nominate them? They are awful :p. Anyway again this wouldn't be for a while i was just wondering if there'd be any interest in something a bit different.

For the record the reason it was The Simpsons i suggested instead of South Park which i'm sure most here know i prefer was because i caught the episode Principle Charming from Season 2 today and one very minor joke made me want to watch the first 9-10 seasons again. The joke:

*Homer is sitting in the corner of Moe's Bar with a beer looking depressed*

Moe: Hey Homer stop looking so glum you are making happy hour seem bitterly ironic. :laugh:

Really small jokes in the first 7 or 8 seasons in particular are what makes the show so great.

Also we may even be able to get Mark F to join a HOF!! Don't want to shoot for the stars just yet but Yoda is also a fan!! :D

It doesn't have to be a "Hall of Fame" to use the same concept. I like the idea, but if it doesn't gain any traction in this thread, that doesn't mean it won't gain traction in the TV section.

And you could do it with other shows afterwards. Twilight Zone instantly comes to mind.

Twilight Zone is a fantastic suggestion, i'd join that. Think quite possibly my favourite episode and most likely the one i'd nominate for this is a bit underrated or at least under mentioned as well.

Going to bump the Simpsons thread with this post, there could be some who aren't that interested in joining a HOF who wouldn't open this thread but are Simpsons fans and would open that thread, so thanks for the suggestion.

Start a TV HOF after Looney Tunes ends. It could be completely separate from the movie halls. I would organize stuff if you didn't want to. A lot of directions you could go with TV. Would be fun.

Just a general TV One? Not sure if it would work out unless people were only picking eps from stuff like The Simpsons, Twilight Zone, etc, stand alone stuff that you don't have to have seen from the start. I mean it would be weird if someone was to nominate a Season 4 ep of Breaking Bad or something. Think i might start a Simpsons one after Looney Tunes.

There'a already a HoF on the schedule for "Critically Panned Movies", but the person who's supposed to run it, (Godoggo), hasn't been around for a while, so we'll have to see what happens when it comes time for it.

Here's a link to the upcoming HoF schedule:

Now when I think of Hall Of Fame I think of it as well A Hall Of Fame where you keep adding members. I dont quite understand the whole there has too be a winner idea. Unless you mean put up a movie or cartoon and people vote to enter it into the hall. I guess it be like when the Oscars or the Hollywood Foreign Press votes.
Has anyone done Done A Cartoon Hall Of Fame as in Certain WB, Disney or Hannah Barbara Cartoon Shorts Hall Of Fame.Example Id pick lets say The Bugs and Daffy Cartoon Where Daffy Always Gets Shot In That Hunting Season Episode. Or rather we would Vote on if that Cartoon should be in that Hall Of Fame.

Unless you mean put up a movie or cartoon and people vote to enter it into the hall. I guess it be like when the Oscars or the Hollywood Foreign Press votes.

The way the HoFs work is:

First, each person who joins nominates one movie. (Sometimes each person nominates two movies if very few people join, but that's up to the host to decide).

After the nominations are announced, everyone who joined watches all of the movies that were nominated, in any order, and they write their thoughts about it in that HoF's thread, and people discuss the movies.

Then, after each person watches all of the nominated movies, they send a private message to the host with their list of all the movies ranked from their favorite movie to their least favorite movie.

Then, after everyone sends in their ranked lists, the host calculates the results, and the results are posted in the thread. The winning movie is the movie that gets the most points, and it becomes part of the MoFo Hall of Fame.

Your Country Music HoF is not like the other MoFo HoFs. Your HoF is more like a list of the songs that you think should be in the HoF. The songs weren't nominated by other MoFos, and they weren't ranked and/or voted on by other MoFos.

I gather some wanted more time for watching the noms? So next time I run an Hof, I will kick in some extra weeks so people don't feel rushed. Though I would have added some more time if someone really had needed it.

I also wish I had started the reveal countdown earlier in the day. I didn't know it was like 4am in Europe. Totally cool like Camo and Topsy stuck around and gave up sleep to see who won! Next time it will be much earlier so more people can be around.

I think you'll do awesome Camo as you have the enthusiasm and you keep the interest up, which is important. So yeah! cool you can host.:)

I automatically assumed that we would have one. I know there hasn't been much discussion on it (unless I missed it somewhere), but do we have an idea of when we would be doing the countdown? Starting at the same time as before? I am only asking because there is an amazing amount of fantastic films from the 1940's. And I am thinking that there might be that opportunity to have a Part I and II like the 1950's (basically, I am trying to see how many times I can get the opportunity to watch films from that era :) - I think I stated before that it is my favorite time period for film).


Anyway, as for HoF's that I have been in, if I counted it correctly, and if I, too, would include the Comedy one, I have been in 9 of them. I suppose that isn't a bad number since I have been here for a year and a half only. So not bad, I think.

I reckon from here on out for a while I'll participate in HoF not by joining but simply by watching the movies and joining the discussion, like GB often does. A lot of good could come from just that. If I can participate fully in, let's say, three HoF's, maybe I'll join one again.

I was in the middle of saying this in Raul's profile . . .

"Oh sure. I'm fortunate enough to have plenty of time, there (Which is here!). Thank God, with all the holidays and all. Oddly enough, I did make one post in that thread, no time after he posted the nominations. My stupid computer shuts down whenever it pleases, and I just recently found out that I lost that post. I've been so busy with these other tourneys, that I haven't posted it again, just yet . . . "

. . . but when I glanced down, I noticed my name in his previous posts section, and was too curious not to look.

Out of ALL these threads I've been a part of, movies and music, I have only missed the ending of two tournaments. You're out of line to say that about me, as if it were some solid fact. It's not! Hell, I only had two movies left in the Silent films. I still have that page up, with every intention of listing all my favs, per Raul's curiosity. I did the same thing in the Sci-fi movie thread. I miss these things for very solid reasons. Things that can't possibly be predicted, AND I announce it when it happens. If memory serves, it was my health during the Sci-fi thread. It was for a few horrific reasons during the silent film tourney. If people can't forgive that, then that's just too bad. I try very hard. Crap happens, and there's usually nothing we can do about it.

So anyways, Raul, I will try to get that original post back up very soon, as it will still make sense to post. Thanks for checking in. No worries, kiddo!

Next year is going to be soooo much better!!!

Yeah, that's fine Destiny as you said crap happens and there's nothing you can do about it. Your health and your real life is obviously more important than a forum game. I at least was only asking if you were still in because you haven't posted in the 40s HOF thread since you said you were in. It's just better to know if possible early on if someone is still in so we know if we have to watch their nomination or not. As i said in the thread i was going to watch it anyway but i know that in some other cases i wasn't particularly looking forward to a film then after i watched it that person dropped out, it was just in case it was the same for anyone in the 40s HOF this time around.

I'm not going to try and speak for Citizen but i think the part you bolded he was speaking more in general because there's been a lot of dropouts, i at least don't think he was singling you out.

OK, to be totally honest, I've never given a damn if people dropped out or not. I just have better things in life to worry about. Hell, the only things that frustrate me about it, are life's freakin' problems that stop me from joining in and/or staying involved. Also, life making me have to rush, just to stay involved.

What Raul said. You don't need to post constantly or anything but it would be good to know what you've watched for it so far and your thoughts from time to time. When you don't post this far into the thread people will think you haven't started and with you not finishing the Silent HOF recently it makes people think you possibly won't finish.

I am well known for finishing at the last minute. I am not well known for not finishing these. However, it would seem that all you have to do is miss one of these to not be trusted. I actually would have finished the Silent films, but my net went out for roughly 36 hours, and I didn't get to see her reply. The only other one I missed, due to illness, I still made a list in. That's all of them, right? Anyways, I am going to do like I always do, and watch these near the end. I still have 2 months and ten days to finish.

Not trying to hassle you if that's how it is coming across i apologize but it is always best to know as early as possible if all members/movies are still in.

Why? I mean, in all honesty, how can it truly be a pain to watch a movie that might not stay in a tournament? We are on a movie board. We all love movies. We love watching them. This kind of blows my mind that the biggest worry I might have, is that I just watched a movie I didn't have to watch. I'm honestly sitting here confused right now on whether I should laugh or cry. It must be nice.

Jesus christ Destiny it is not my biggest worry you aren't the only one here who has a life outside this forum. Regardless of any other problems or worries i may have in life it is still annoying when you watch a movie someone else nominated when they didn't bother to watch your movie. Maybe not the first time but this isn't exactly something that is rare, it happens all the time and when it adds up it gets annoying. Obviously for someone who drops out of a hall of fame it isn't going to bother them since they didn't do anything. And i don't know where you've got from my comments that i'm seriously freaking out about this. I asked in the thread if you were out because you are the only member who hasn't bothered to post about the movies or mention how many you've watched, in fact you haven't posted once since you joined so you can't find it surprising that people would suspect that you won't finish. Then that post was completely calm and logical and yet you somehow managed to jump to conclusions about my personal life from it.

I think it's the way you go about it, Destiny. When you say things like life's problems or life happens, I find it just a tad insulting. You're no busier than anyone else and everybody has issues to deal with. It's like you already have a ready made excuse not to finish. You've called the HoF a break, but it's a commitment, and more specifically a commitment to others. You have a history of disappearing from the forum. That's not a character flaw or an insult, but it is reality. You never posted in the silent era HoF thread, and then right away you join the 40's HoF, and you've still posted nothing there. It just looks odd. Still, you were awesome when I was in the slasher HoF with you. I hope you finish the HoF. If you don't, nobody will take it personally or hold a grudge. Just be understanding as to why there's some skepticism.

I also don't have a ready made excuse. You all think I should except people not trusting me? I was seriously ill for the one thread, and posted that I went through something horrific during the next. I think it's rather sad that even though you all know this, you've decided not to trust me. I was actually going to finish my Christmas thread, and then spend January plus doing the 40's thread. There's never been a posted time limit on when or how fast a person should start reviewing. So yes, I say just one week ago that I'm still in, and get frustrated that I'm already getting doubted.

You're taking it the wrong way. We're watching each other's nominations, but some of us don't want to watch yours unless we're certain that you're going to finish, and some of us don't want to watch yours at the last minute. Just as an act of good faith, try to watch one movie every ten days. That can't be too much, and if it is, it will be too much for you to watch all of them in the last month and a half. If we don't know until the last minute that you're finishing, that means we don't know until the last minute that we have to watch your nomination.

I still want you in. I don't care if you start late, as long as you watch the movies, write your thoughts about them in the HoF thread, and finish by the deadline so you can send in a ranked list.

When I read that people were assuming that you were out, I sent you the PM so that you could confirm that you were still in. I'm not sure how it blew up into this ridiculous discussion, but that seems to be the way things work sometimes here on MoFo. :shrug:

需st铖y, when you get a chance, please go to the 40's HoF thread and confirm whether or not you're still in. There's a post there that says that your movie (Laura) is already out. I hope that post is wrong.

Apparently Laura is out guys. Our quest for a pure drama free HOF continues. Mofo should come with sensitivity training.

Thanks a lot. Much appreciated.

We're watching each other's nominations, but some of us don't want to watch yours unless we're certain that you're going to finish, and some of us don't want to watch yours at the last minute.
If we don't know until the last minute that you're finishing, that means we don't know until the last minute that we have to watch your nomination.

It was watched pretty early on by the bulk of you. For sure by the three of you that have been posting to me. So there's no reason to worry about either of those things.

I must have read too fast. I missed this next thing.

That can't be too much, and if it is, it will be too much for you to watch all of them in the last month and a half.

That's not true. I would simply do then, what I just did now, in my Christmas music thread. I'd stay up all night. I'm not going to do that now. Not when there's a possible two plus months of hopefully getting spare time. I said that I didn't have the time to watch these just yet. You posted that I claimed to be busier than everyone here, which I didn't. I have no way of knowing that. You then said that I'm no busier than any of you. If I don't know that, then neither do you.

So anyways, just let me know, like GBG did.

...I'd stay up all night. I'm not going to do that now. Not when there's a possible two plus months of hopefully getting spare time... What if you don't get some spare time? If you wait until the last minute and you don't get spare time, you won't be able to finish.

That's what happened in the Silent Hof. You had 3 months to watch only 5 movies, but didn't finish on time. The Silent Hof was even extended by one month and you still didn't finish on time. You never bothered to tell the rest of us that you couldn't finish either. So all the other members had to watch your film, and like Cricket said, an Hof is a commitment to other people...it's not just a 'fun break' as you said, it's work.

What takes the cake is you post in the Silent Hof: (posted the day after it ended)
It's a shame you [the host] didn't PM me. I would have finished up. I saw Raul's post, but I suppose by the time you posted, there was too much election excitement going on in life. Hopefully if this is ever done again, more people will join in, and maybe if it helps with the members involved, all silent movies will be allowed. Five movies isn't much of any competition. Oh well, life can get complicated, and interrupt a lot of things. It sure got in my way. Word!!!

The host is not obligated to PM you, that's an excuse, the responsibility is yours, not the host. The deadline was clearly posted and even extended. The ONLY person who is responsible for you not finishing, is you.

What takes the cake, is you telling me that I said she is obligated. That I used that as my excuse. I never did, and you left out my next post.

I posted in that thread that I wasn't able to finish because something awful happened in my life. That was going to end it for me, but because I noticed that it had been extended, etc . . . and asked if they wanted me to go ahead, I was going to check back. Then, the only reason I made that PM comment, was because by the time my net was back up, I forgot. It was mainly because my 1-800-comcast guy weirded me out, by letting me know that he knew exactly where I lived. That he used to live behind me, and he remembered me. I had to make sure he wasn't the one that would show up at my house the next day.

It's really easy to say "If this", or "If that" We all do it. That was a simple thought. An, "Oh pooh, I wish she had PMed me" thought . . . . and why did I have that thought . . . because sometimes we do exactly that for these things. We PM the members. So it's a natural thought, being turned into something bad. Just like Cricket up there saying that if I had simply posted about those two movies, then none of this would be happening." Yes, and since I had no idea I would be doubted like this, I didn't. Between the music and movies, I know there's been more than ten threads I've been in. It's not right doubting me over two. As far as that "disappearing" stuff Cricket brought up. Yes, I have. I disappeared when they thought I had cancer, when I spent seven days in the hospital watching my mother die, gall bladder issues, gall bladder emergency surgery, hernia surgery, severe flu bug, and my last issue, that I don't want to share. This is why I told Raul I don't know what else to do. Because I sure the hell don't want to keep reliving all this over some freaking movies.

I never claimed that you said you were busier than everyone here, Destiny, I said that you weren't.

You still make it sound like we all spend the same amount of time in life with work, play etc . . . You don't know my schedule, or all of my responsibilities. Why are you claiming to know how busy I am?

By your other post?...I suppose you mean the next post were you blame the Comcast guy for making you miss the Silent Hof?

Oh no, what I said was that I have only watched two of them. I own those two. I didn't say anything, because I didn't know there'd be a problem. I can't afford to buy the rest of those movies until the new year, and since I'm busy with the Christmas thread anyways, to me it sort of worked out nicely. No money and no time until the new year. (Cricket and I discussed these movies last night in PM, but I can't remember what the hell we said!)

Clazor, GBG, Cricket, Raul, Camo, and anyone else who's interested . . . What I will do, (Knocks on wood!) is share my feelings on those two films. At some point in December, I will do those two films, but the rest HAVE to wait until the new year.

I could host it for you without joining if you want? Think Sean did that once. I'd just take and post the noms, maintain the review post and do the reveal when you guys have finished. I would join myself but i've got so many movies to watch and too little time with Sci-Fi, 2016, 40s, etc. Just a thought.

Is anyone interested in another Looney Tunes HOF but Disney, Fleischer, Tom and Jerry, whatever as long as they are 10 minutes or under and animated included? Don't care when just thought i'd bring it up early to gauge interest. It's not a big commitment the last one ended up with 12 shorts that amounted to something like 90-100 minutes runtime total, and i was flexible allowing people to go at their own pace rather than set a deadline; it was done in a few weeks without anyone having to rush and was alot of fun. I'm guessing if she has time gbg would be down, maybe Nope as well since he enjoyed the last one alot.

Not sure if serious but either way i'm printing out the contract :p. If you enjoy Disney, Looney Tunes, Fleischer, Tom and Jerry, etc, you should join though. The last one we did worked out about 90-100 minutes overall which is the average runtime of one regular movie. Also i don't set a deadline as long as people aren't being ridiculous i'm cool with them going at their own pace; two shorts a week would be fine with me which is about 15 minutes in total, 20 at most since it's 10 minutes or less.

We could go with a certain budget within a certain bracket of years, so the numbers aren't really effected by inflation.

Or we could try to have certain budget brackets for different eras. This might be difficult to set up, because I don't really know what numbers would work for each era to be even.

Or we could just say the hell with inflation. Just choose a number, and that's that.

This actually sounds both interesting and doable. Depending on said number, I might even have a nomination already.

We could even do Youtube only films.... Films you can find for free on youtube. It has to be a decent version though and one that you can make full screen

What would be the point in that? That would be just a general hall of fame except you need to watch them on youtube for some reason. What would be the point? Genuinely asking.

Why would you want to do a hall of fame of bad quality movies? And also that's not true, there's plenty of good films on youtube.

Maybe bad wasn't what I meant, more like, films that arnt mainstream, they tend to get deleted off YouTube pretty quick.

I have the winners updated again. Sorry I neglected that for a bit. 12th is coming to an end and there are no special HOF active at the moment. So if anyone wants to get one started there probably won't be any objections.

I am going to be sitting the HOF out for a bit, but I am always around so I will keep this thread updated and be here if you need me.

Well, there will be a difference in the two HoF's. CR's Live Action Musical will be more traditional song and dance type of stuff (i.e. where the musical numbers replace the dialogue).

Mine will be one with films that aren't necessarily musicals (although if a film fits the description of what my HoF will be, a musical would be accepted). Basically, I know when the Musical HoF was first introduced back in 2015 there was some confusion as to what would/wouldn't be eligible (hence, that is why the Animated Musical HoF came about). There were questions as to whether films like "The Blues Brothers" or "A Hard Day's Night" would be eligible. Technically, they aren't traditional musicals. But they have characters who revolve around music. So my HoF would accept any film that features a "musical artist". I hope what I am saying makes sense. If not, hopefully it will be a little clearer when it gets started on the 24th.

So, Tenacious D: Pick of Destiny would be eligeble in your HoF, as the movie's story revolves around a duo of musicians? Though, I guess it would be eligeble for CR's HoF too, as the music does confire some story elements. Bad example. Let's go with...Music & Lyrics instead. Not a musical, but the story's about a musician finding a new songwriter in the girl that waters his plants and their task to write a song for a Shakira stand-in. Am I close to what you mean?

So... do we have to pick which one we join? Are they running simultaneously? Can I even spell simultaneously? (Yes thank you spell checker. At least I can pronounce it.)

SilentVamp
02-21-17, 06:04 PM
They will be running simultaneously. You can choose whichever one you'd like to join. Or you can join both. :) It is up to you.

Along with running mine, I will also be joining his. So I will be in both. But it is entirely up to each individual what each person would want to do.

Just a question; why wouldn't The Blues Brothers be considered a traditional musical?

If you consider that film to be "traditional", OK. That is fine. But I would be the one taking it as a nomination because it is based around characters that are a part of a band. But I did say this:
Mine will be one with films that aren't necessarily musicals (although if a film fits the description of what my HoF will be, a musical would be accepted).
So I would accept "The Blues Brothers" as a nomination.


I think Citizen Rules will have to elaborate a bit more on what sort of films he is considering eligible for his if you want a more specific answer. I don't know if I am doing a good job with my description. :)

SV, if I understand correctly, the difference is that CR's HoF will be movies where the characters "break out into song and dance", (not something that would happen in real life), but your HoF is movies where the songs actually make sense to the characters in the movie as a normal part of their story. (For example, movies like The Blues Brothers where the characters are actually musical performers.)

I'm not going to be in those HoFs, and I wouldn't nominate The Blues Brothers if I did. It's more of a general question. Besides the scenes where they perform a gig as a band, there are multiple other scenes that make me wonder if it's a traditional musical.

I would be interested at a latter date, right now I couldn't join as my plate is too full. But great idea:)

A spaghetti western HoF sounds VERY intriguing. Start getting some interest and then pick a date to fits in between the others, get sean to post it on the first page of this thread and let us all know, neiba. That would be a really good 'un and I'm pretty sure there are a number of folks who would join in on it.

I think gbg has a good insight of the two HoFs.
CR's would be the "break out in song" like Oklahoma, Jesus Christ Superstar and the like.
SV's would be filled with music that takes an integral part of the story; as mentioned Blues Brothers and in the past, Hard Day's Night and the like.
Did I get that right, SV?

Both of which I do believe I'll be joining and both of which, I'm sure we all can narrow down the definition with both Hosts' guidance.

But hey sometimes the funnest parties are the small ones:)...We're going to launch our Hof threads on this Friday with full details:p...it'll be copacetic (I just learned that word the other day and this is the first chance I had to use it!)
