We don’t really know much about the Pinheads other than that Marty McFly fronted them and played lead guitar. We saw them audition for the Battle of the Bands by playing the Huey Lewis and the News song, “The Power of Love”, though we did not see them for long. They were told by the judges (one of them being Huey Lewis in a cameo) seconds after debut that they were “too loud”. We are not sure what became of the Pinheads, but we suspect that the lead singer might sound a bit like Chuck Berry.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Back to the Future (1985)
Actors:
Michael J. Fox
Paul Hanson
Lee Brownfield
Robert DeLapp
Songs you might remember:
The Power of Love
Why you should vote for them:
This may not be the most successful fictitious band, but they were in one of the most successful movies of all time.
Why you should not vote for them:
We did not even get thirty seconds of the Pinheads.

She was cute, she could sing and she was the object of desire for the Phantom of the Paradise. All of that may be true, but please lets never see Phoenix try to dance again!

In the 1990’s, Friends was a pop culture phenomenon, and people would watch the show and ask each other which “Friend” they were. The quirkiest character was Phoebe Buffay, especially in the early seasons where she performed at “Central Perk”. Her signature song (and perhaps the song of 1995) was “Smelly Cat” which if you did not come of age in that era, you may not understand how many twenty-somethings knew that song. Friends was the biggest show of that decade, so this may not be an impossible induction. People of a certain age; know what we are talking about.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Friends (1994-2004)
Actor:
Lisa Kudrow
Songs you might remember:
Smelly Cat
Why you should vote for her:
If you remember the mid 1990’s, you understand how big this was.
Why you should not vote for her:
“Smelly Cat” was her best song. Now think about that for a minute.

“My Name is Earl” was a moderate hit television series, but we always thought it was somewhat underappreciated. In an effort to cross #50 off his list of bad deeds where Earl slept with his friend’s mom, we learn that the Hickey brothers were in a band named Phish Tahko, though we can’t say we ever learned much about the band. Still with this band name, and with Earl Hickey, we couldn’t resist creating an entry for them.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
My Name is Earl (2006)
Actors:
Jason Lee (Earl Hickey, Guitar)
Ethan Suplee (Randy Hickey, Drums)
Giovanni Ribisi (Ralph Mariano, Guitar)
Songs you might remember:
Frankenstein
Why you should vote for them:
This was a great show.
Why you should not vote for them:
What do really know about their music? Not much.
