This one straddles real and fictitious that may blur the lines more than any other entry on the ballot. From the ambitious animated Adult Swim program, Metalocalypse, Dethklok is a very successful Death Metal band whose merchandising power is only equaled by their ineptitude in anything that is not musical.
In the real world, the creator of the show and music (Brendon Small) has released four albums under the Dethklok name, and though they were not nearly as successful as they were in the animated world, he did several tours with a backing band performing Dethklok music.
In our eyes, combined with a loyal cult audience creates a very serious candidate for our Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Massive success in the fictitious world with minor success in the real one; this is a solid combination.
Why you should not vote::
Animated bands may not seem right for some.
