The Rutles
Jul 06, 2014
Published in
2020 Inductees
With all due respect to all of the other nominees, we don’t think there is any other act on the ballot that has created a more detailed backstory than the Rutles. This near perfect pastiche of the Beatles began on Eric Idle’s BBC Television Show, Rutland Weekend Television, which presented a brief documentary of the band. Idle paired with Neil Innes, formerly of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band who provided the music and the combination proved so popular that a full documentary “All You Need is Cash” was filmed was the first musical mockumentary of its kind.
George Harrison of the Beatles was a fan of the Rutles; so much so, he appeared in the film. Bill Murray, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd and Michael Palin also had prominent roles. An album of Beatlesque music was recorded which sold well in the United Kingdom. The rise and fall of the Rutles was documented so well, that we have to assume that this will be an early inductee for the Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That is providing enough people in North America have seen it, and if you haven’t, do so immediately!
The Bullet Points:
TV Shows and Movie Appeared:
Rutland Weekend Television (1975-76)
Saturday Night Live (1976 & 77)
All You Need is Cash (1978)
Actors:
Neil Innes (Ron Nasty)
Eric Idle (Dirk McQuiqley)
Ricky Fataar (Stig O’Hara)
John Halsey (Barry Wom AKA: Barrington Womble)
Songs you might remember:
I Must Be in Love
Ouch!
Why you should vote for them:
This is a Fictitious Band...that actually had a tribute album. Nobody else here can say that!
Why you should not vote for them:
They were not as big in the United States as they should have been.

Wait, we have another Elvis movie? There is no point recapping anything; let’s just say that Elvis sings and gets the girl, and this time he is a nightclub singer. Not that any of it really matters.
Rowlf the Dog

Published in
The Artists
In what would be the first Muppet of note (seriously, check it out) Rowlf the Dog was the piano playing dog of Muppet fame. Personally, he was a favorite of ours with his combination of sarcasm and talent, and we could easily imagine him playing the Vegas circuit. Actually, he would probably be more entertaining than some of the lounge singers we saw there.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
The Muppet Show (1976-80)
Actors:
Various
Songs you might remember:
Surprisingly, there are none
Why you should vote for him:
Wow…this dog was so likable.
Why you should not vote for him:
Like the Electric Mayhem post, Rowlf had no signature songs.

Ross Geller

Published in
The Artists
This is not a misprint. Some of our favorite episodes in the megahit, Friends, are where we learn of Ross Geller’s “musical ability”. In flashback episodes, it is implied that Geller looks to become a musician while performing on his keyboard. He did have a gig at Central Perk, where everyone believed he stunk; except for Phoebe who was actually concerned that he was a threat. That may seem incomprehensible, but remember on this show he got Rachel.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Friends (1994-2004)
Actor:
David Schwimmer
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for him:
If you remember the mid 1990’s, you understand how big this was.
Why you should not vote for him:
As a musician, he was terrible. Also, how the hell did David Schwimmer get Jennifer Anniston?
