You have to forgive us as for a movie we have seen countless times, we have no idea what the name of the band was (or if there was one) in the ultimate guilty pleasure film, Road House. Let’s focus on what we do know: The band was played by a Canadian Blues Rock trio called the Jeff Healey Band, who did very well in Canada in the late 80’s and early 90’s. They sounded right for the part, and Healey was able to gain what we believe was his only acting role showing what he could do as a “blind white guy”. Now what the hell was the name of this band? Seriously, we want to know the name of the band!

The very successful rival band of Scott Pilgrim was made up of one of his ex girlfriends and a telekinetic bassist who was dating that aforementioned ex. Rather than go into the convoluted plot, let’s just say that the band’s music was provided by the very talented band, Metric, which is more than enough to make them a serious contender for this Hall of Fame.

What do you mean Stuart Sutcliffe wasn’t the 5^th Beatle? On Saturday Night Live we learned that Clarence Walker (Eddie Murphy) played saxophone for the Beatles (or so he claimed) in 1963 before being kicked out. We are suckers for everything that Murphy did on SNL (though not for anything he did in a fat suit), so we felt we had no choice but to nominate him for this.

From one of the ultimate cult films, “The World’s Greatest Sinner” we have a young man named Clarence Gilliard who realizes that Rock and Roll is power. He becomes a superstar and uses his new found fame to become a political icon and religious cult leader. It should be mentioned that this was the first film scored by Frank Zappa. This is one of those times when they say that a movie is ahead of its time; it is not an exaggeration.
