The squeaky clean 50’s crooners of John Waters’ “Cry-Baby”, Baldwin and the Whiffles sang the original songs of the rock era; though only the ones without any real attitude. Of course, if they did that would have refuted the point wouldn’t it?
In what was one of the few Steven Seagal movies that didn’t suck; the antagonist was the great actor Tommy Lee Jones. We actually like that, as we knew that we would be treated to at least some good acting, but trying to view the curmudgeonly Jones (who must have came out of the womb looking like a cranky old dude) masquerading as a Rock and Roller is not exactly believable. The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: Under Siege (1992) Actor: Tommy Lee Jones (William “Bill” Strannix) Songs you might remember: None Why you should vote for them: The Tommy Lee Jones factor. Why you should not vote for them: Did this band even play in the movie? We don’t remember. {youtube}

We never heard Axl Bundy play, nor did we care. We loved watching Al Bundy hobnob at the airport lounge with 60’s singing legends (John Sebastian, Ritchie Havens, Spencer Davis, Robby Kriger, Peter Nooner and Mark Lindsay). Does this make him a FRRHOF inductee? Probably not, but it was a fun watch! The Bullet Points: TV Show Appeared: Married with Children (1992) Actors: Ed O’Neill Songs you might remember: None Why you should vote for him: Al Bundy is a god for many. Why you should not vote for him: Axl did not sing in the episode, nor do we know anything about his band: Shoes and Socks. {youtube}

We have a rip off band of cult superstars (Kraftwerk) in an excellent cult movie (The Big Lebowski) too? This may be too hard to pass up! This faux band released one album (Nagelbutt), and we have to assume that they were techno-pop superstars. Considering that Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers was one of the members, we might actually believe it! The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: The Big Lebowski (1998) Actors: Flea Peter Stormare Torsten Voges Songs you might remember: Nagelbutt (The title of their lone album) Why you should vote for him them: The “cult status” card can’t be any higher. Why you should not vote for them: We did not hear much of their music. {youtube}
