The Rats
From Velvet Goldmine, we have the Rats; who were basically the Stooges. With all due respect to the backing band, the star here was Curt Wild (Ewan McGregor) who was modeled after Iggy Pop. Wild was the lover of the main star of the film (who was modeled after David Bowie) and his on stage antics was certainly worth remembering. Had this gained a bigger audience, we think this would really be a dark horse candidate. Hey, this is Obi-Wan Kenobi after all.
