The Looters

The Looters were an up and coming Punk band in the cult flick, “Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains”. They were on the backburner for other bands, but their dedication to the Punk lifestyle was evident throughout. We can say though, as we look up and down this ballot, there are few that have assembled a more perfect group of cast musicians as the Looters comprised of Paul Simonon (The Clash), Steve Jones (The Sex Pistols), Paul Cook (The Sex Pistols) and Ray Winstone, who was not a musician, but a great character actor to do the heavy lifting. This lineup alone makes the Looters worth a look.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains (1982)
Actors:
Ray Winstone (Bily, Vocals)
Paul Simonon (Johnny, Bass)
Steve Jones (Steve, Guitar)
Paul Cook (Danny, Drummer)
Songs you might remember:
Conned Again
Professionals
Why you should vote for them:
Again, we say…look at this lineup! There are three Rock and Roll Fame inductees here!
Why you should not vote for them:
In what was a barely watched film, they were outshone by the main act. Hell, their best song was ripped off by the Stains!
The Lone Rangers

From the love it or hate it film, Airheads, “The Lone Rangers” were so desperate to make it in the music industry that they resorted to hijacking a radio station to get their demo played. As you would expect in a screwball comedy such as this, strange events occurred, and of course they make it (sorry for the spoiler), but time is actually aging this film surprisingly well, and with what is near an all star cast in the band, this might have a shot.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Airheads (1994)
Actors:
Brendan Fraser (Chazz Darby)
Adam Sandler (Pip)
Steve Buscemi (Rex)
Songs you might remember:
Degenerated
Why you should vote for them:
This film still gets played on cable. It can’t be that bad then can it?
Why you should not vote for them:
The band’s music was not featured that much.

Lola Heatherton

A diva on the downswing of her career, Lola Heatherton reminisces about her past, while still thinking she is still a huge star. Of course, the fact she is in Melonville should have tipped her off that she isn’t a big deal, but on the SCTV network she is! This has always been our favorite character from Catherine O’Hara, and way better than being Macaulay Culkin’s mom.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
SCTV (1978-81)
Actor:
Catherine O’Hara
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for her:
We will maintain that this our favorite O’Hara role
Why you should not vote for her:
She was a terrible singer; although that was on purpose.

Do you remember when it looked like Ally Sheedy might have a successful movie career? After “Maid to Order”, neither did she. For our purposes, the only think worth remembering was Hair Metal band, Great White performing as “Loaded Blanks” for reasons we can’t remember.
