Musicians That Should Have Their Own Page

This thread is for posting the names of musicians and bands that you think should have their own pages on this wiki. Please offer a justification as well, even if it is just "I'm a big fan".

The purpose, of course, is to gather troper resources to make these pages reality. Single-handedly launching a creator page of any kind often requires extensive knowledge an individual fan may not have.

As for my own recommendation: Dr. Dre. Along with his associates, he has had a major influence in shaping the modern landscape of rap for good or ill. These associated acts (NWA, Eminem, 50 Cent) all have their own pages, but Dr. Dre does not. Dre isn't obscure by any measure of the word: both of his albums, The Chronic and 2001, have been released to great critical acclaim and high sales. Other rappers/producers have cited Dre as being a major influence; for example, Kanye West once said that all the roots of his production style can be found in the song "Xxplosive" from 2001.

Flo Rida already has a...stub. But he needs a real page, even if its because of his prominence on pop radio.

Dragonland. They are awesome, and definetly have enough tropes assosciated with them to warrant a page.

Isaac Hayes. Due to his great contribution to Soul music and his awesome soundtracks.

I'd say The Temptations have enough hits and acclaim to warrant their own page.

To pity someone is to tell them "I feel bad about being better than you."

Grr. How freaking hard is it to index a page?!?

On another note, *

I need to create pages for The xx and Charli XCX.

I feel like a page ought to be started for Cracker, if only because there's already one for the band they can be considered a More Popular Spin-Off of.

Earth is the only planet inhabitable by Nicolas Cage.

Lil B. Technically we do have a page for him, but it's been permalocked for some reason

What do you mean?

Bonnie Pink. Her stuff is pretty good, even the ones I can't understand.

To pity someone is to tell them "I feel bad about being better than you."

Cards, was that to me? Have you not noticed the "This page has not been indexed" warning at the bottom of a page before?

Sorry, I'm fairly new to the wiki. I don't understand what makes Dragonland hard to index.

"I thought Djent was just a band" -Physical Stamina

Well, that was his point, I think: People are being lazy not indexing them. So it goes.

I am strongly tempted to start creating pages for weird obscure groups that I like, but I don't know how much that I could come up with for each page. Plus, perfectionism drives me to laziness through frustration: I want the article to be worth reading, but that takes more effort than I would normally want to expend.

*reflects on mortal existence*

Maybe I'll start with Have A Nice Life...

I'll hide your name inside a word and paint your eyes with false perception.

I've been planning on making trope pages for this Irish indie band called Fight Like Apes and Social Distortion.

That is my point, that people are lazy and don't index stuff.

If I was to create a page for Dragonland, I would definetly index it. I would put it under Musicians, Metal. Another metal band that needs a page is Bloodbound.

Social Distortion doesn't have a page? That's a surprise to me.

To be fair, he's just so uninteresting that there's not much to say.

Semisonic was a slight shocker for me. Sure, they're mostly known as one hit wonders for "Closing Time", but they have a pretty solid cult following and primary songwriter/singer/frontman Dan Wilson is pretty prominent in the music industry, having written and cowritten hits for quite a few artists, including Adele's Grammy-winning "Someone Like You".

Other than them, there's other big names I've noticed before but can't recall at the moment.

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

Billy Bragg, for his impact on the political and folk music scenes.

Schild und Schwert der Partei

I've made a page for Dragonland. Can I PM it to one of the more experienced tropers, to look over it before I put it on the wiki, to make sure it is up to standard as it is my first page.

"I thought Djent was just a band" -Physical Stamina

I've made three pages myself: Henry Cow, Gentle Giant and Egg.

Now I am considering making a page on some classical composers that are missing, such as Shoenberg. But I'm open to making any pages about prog rock, since that is sort of what I know best.

Hey guys, I made a page for Dragonland, this is my first page.

I made a few formatting and grammar tweaks, and there are some Zero Context Examples that need fleshing out, but overall that's pretty good for a first-time page.

Also, check your links. You had two redlinks.

I'm considering making a page for the Heartless Bastards, but I'm incredibly lazy. So I'll probably never get around to it.
