Part Bowie, part transvestite and part diva, the character of Beef was in the wrong place at the wrong time as evidenced by his death by neon lightning bolt on stage. Actually, that doesn’t sound like a bad way to go.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Phantom of the Paradise (1974)
Actors:
Gerrit Graham
Raymond Louis Kennedy (Singing Voice)
Songs you might remember:
Life at Last
Why you should vote for him:
Chances are the laughs you had during the film was because of Beef.
Why you should not vote for him:
He is low on the list in a film that may generate no inductees.

Utilizing the common TV plot device that ages children without explanation, the children of the Flintstones and Rubbles were now troublemaking teenagers who had their own Bubblegum Pop group, with their three friends (Moonrock, Penny and Wiggy). They were a little late to cash in on that genre of Pop, but their animated show did a little better than most.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show (1971-72)
Actors:
Sally Struthers (Pebbles)
Jay North (Bamm-Bamm)
Songs you might remember:
Yabba Dabba Doozie
Why you should vote for them:
Only if you are a Flintstones fan.
Why you should not vote for them:
There are better Bubblegum representatives than this.

In one of the most famous Simpsons episodes of all time, we learn of Homer’s past singing career as a member of the successful Barbershop Quartet, The Be Sharps. How successful were they? Well, they had a major hit (Baby on Board) and won the Grammy for Soul, Spoken Word and Barber Shop Quartet! Of course, like all successful Barber Shop groups; they were a victim of their own success, and a Yoko Ono lookalike.

Basically playing a “stone age” version of themselves, The B-52’s gave us a new version of the classic Flintstones theme song and performed at a club in the film. This movie was a major hit, but was an artistic disaster, and speaking for ourselves, we would rather remember them for Rock Lobster and not for Bedrock Lobster. Sorry for that terrible pun.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Flintstones (1994)
Actors:
The B-52’s
Songs you might remember:
The Flintstones Theme
The Bedrock Twitch
Why you should vote for them:
Only if you are a fan of this film, or the B-52’s in general.
Why you should not vote for them:
This film is a disaster.
