We make no apologies, as we aren’t always able to keep our personal feelings aside. With that we admit we will never understand the appeal for anyone in Michael Cera to make him a movie lead. As the doofus kid in Arrested Development, yes, as a leading man…we don’t get it. With that said, there was a time when he was not just a successful leading man, but a successful one; mainly because he always had the perfect role for his skill set. One example was when he was cast as Scott Pilgrim in the movie adaptation from the popular comic books. For our purposes, he was the leader of the band Sex Bob-omb, which was not just his garage band, but one that was featured in the plot somewhat. We can say what we want about Cera, but this is probably more of legit contender for our Hall of Fame than 90 percent of the others on the ballot. Oh…it doesn’t hurt that the music is provided by Beck for them…not bad, don’t you think? The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010) Actors: Michael Cera (Scott Pilgrim, Bass) Allison Pill (Kim Pine, Drummer) Mark Webber (Stephen Stills, Lead Singer) Songs you might remember: We are Sex Bob-omb Summertime Garbage Truck Why you should vote for him them: This movie did well, and music was prominently featured. Why you should not vote for them: The band was called Sex Bob-omb. Seriously, if there are women who visit this site, please explain the sexual appeal of Michael Cera, because we are completely baffled by it. {youtube}

Maybe the House Party series should have stopped at two. House Party 3 was panned by the critics, avoided by the viewers and forgotten by everyone. In the third film, Play tried to become a promoter and took on a hardcore all female rap group called “Sex as a Weapon” played by TLC. As mentioned, the film stunk, though this was not really the fault of TLC; they just cashed a paycheck. The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: House Party 3 (1994) Actors: TLC Songs you might remember: None Why you should vote for them: TLC was an important act in their day. Why you should not vote for them: This film did nothing for their legacy. {youtube}

From one of the most acclaimed Sitcoms of all time, WKRP in Cincinnati, the struggling radio station sponsored their first concert since they switched their format to Rock and Roll. That band, was the eccentric, Scum of the Earth; who refused to perform, sabotaged an interview and were overall major pains in the ass. Michael Des Barres, who was in Scum, had his band Detective, provided the actual music, and lovers of WKRP (which we suspect are many) will probably give this one a few votes. The Bullet Points: TV Show Appeared: WKRP in Cincinnati (1978) Actors: Michael Des Barres (Sir Charles “Dog” Weatherbee) Peter Elbling (Blood) Jim Henderson (Sir Nigel Weatherbee) Songs you might remember: The Two of Us. Why you should vote for them: It was an iconic episode from one of the greatest television shows ever. Why you should not vote for them: It was only one episode. {youtube}

While watching Kevin Malone in the American version of the Office, it is difficult to believe that he has the skills to be a drummer of a band of any kind. Still, lovable and dimwitted Kevin is the drummer and singer of Scranton, Pennsylvania’s top Police cover band; Scrantonicity. We can’t say that it makes this group a top contender for our Hall of Fame, but many remember them which is more than many other cover bands out there. The Bullet Points: TV Show Appeared: The Office (2007) Actors: Brian Baumgartner (Kevin Malone) A few others who we don’t know Songs you might remember: Police cover songs Why you should vote for him them: Perhaps this is a chance to induct a Police cover band? Why you should not vote for them: Seriously, cover bands should never be in any Hall of Fame.
