The Banned
A conflicting choice we think for our British audience, “the Banned” was an out of place 1980’s attempt on the socially aware Soap Opera, Eastenders. The teenagers on the show inexplicably formed a band, and while they did try to tackle serious issues, fans of the show could not generate interest in this plot line.
The conflict is though the band was a dud on the screen, they had hits in the real British music scene, one of which (Every Loser Wins) went number one in the United Kingdom, though music history has not looked kind on them. Still, we wonder how many people east of the Atlantic will look at this group nostalgically enough to select them.
The Bullet Points:

Eastenders (1986-87)

Songs you might remember:
Every Loser Wins
Why you should vote for them:
A number one song in Great Britain is not easy to obtain. Fictional or not; this is impressive.
Why you should not vote for them:
How many number one songs stink? Well, by many accounts, here is another.
