Auden

Auden
From the early 80’s cult film, “Get Crazy” we have a series of bands who played at the fictitious Saturn Theatre (modeled after the famous Filmore East) for their 15th New Year’s Eve Show. One of the main attractions, Auden (Lou Reed) failed to make the gig until it was over, but we were treated to his performance during the closing credits. Auden was basically a Bob Dylan knock off which may not have been that much of stretch for Reed to play.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Get Crazy (1983)

Actor:
Lou Reed

Songs you might remember:
Little Sister

Why you should vote for him:
Because this is Lou Reed!

Why you should not vote for him:
He missed the show after all!

The Atomic Enchilada

Atomic Enchilada The
From the underappreciated concept album (The Turtles present the Battle of the Bands) by the Turtles we have an album where different “bands” appeared. This allowed the group to not only stretch their skills musically, as each “band” had a completely different sound and also showcase their humor.


In the second song of the album, the Turtles channeled the Psychedelic sound as the “Atomic Enchilada” and did a decent job at it too, to the point where we wonder where they could have gone if that was the genre they wanted to pursue.



The Bullet Points:
Album Appeared:
The Turtles present the Battle of the Bands (1968)

Actors/Performers:
The Turtles

Songs you might remember:
The Last Thing I Remember, the First Thing I Knew

Why you should vote for them:
This was not a bad song.

Why you should not vote for them:
We aren’t sure ourselves if the Turtles billing themselves under another name for one song only should even count.

Arthur Hodgson and the Kneecaps
Another obscure fictitious act that we had to put on the ballot due to our mad respect for the Rutles movie, we have Arthur Hodgson and the Kneecaps, who were also managed by Leggy Mountbatten, the manager the Rutles. We learned they were an avant garde act, who ran afoul of Rutles’ star, Ron Nasty. They might have been dropped anyway as their three albums (Knees Up!, Absolutely Knee and 200 Kneecaps) were not huge sellers.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
All You Need is Cash (1978)

Actors:
Unknown

Songs you might remember:
None

Why you should vote for them:
Only for Rutlemania.

Why you should not vote for them:
In Rutlelore, this was a blip on the radar.

The Archies

The Archies
The late 1960’s and early 70’s gave us the height of the Bubblegum music genre, a perfect counter to the Woodstock generation. We will argue
that the Archies were the ultimate Bubblegum group, but what does that mean for this Hall of Fame?

Here are the facts. Based on the popular Archie comic books, music producer Don Kirshner assembled a group of studio musicians to play music for the “Archie Show”, a cartoon for CBS. The show only generated 17 episodes, but the lasting feature was not the animation but the music.

The main musician was Ron Dante, who provided the main vocals and we wager that half of the people reading this has his voice in their head, with the tune of “Sugar Sugar”. That song was the biggest hit of 1969 and though it may be a little cheesy, is one of the most enduring songs in history. Now we ask you, should our Hall of Fame make a stop in Riverdale?



The Bullet Points:
TV Shows Appeared:
The Archie Show (1968-69)

Actors:
Ron Dante (Actual Singer)
Toni Wine (Female Singer)

The Fictional Band:
Archie Andrews (Lead Singer and Guitar)
Reggie Mantle (Bass Guitar)
Veronica Lodge (Keyboard)
Betty Cooper (Tambourine)
Jughead Jones (Drums)

Songs you might remember:
Sugar Sugar
Bang-Shang-A-Lang
Jingle Jangle

Why you should vote for them:
Seriously, they had a song that defined a genre.

Why you should not vote for them:
The genre they defined is commonly ridiculed.
