A huge Rock Star whose dark lyrics and general indifference to everything was his trademark, Grivo traded it all in when he took the happiness drug and would actually win an MTV Award with “Happiness Pie”. Now how often do you get to vote for a Glenn Danzig knock off?

Brain Candy (1996)
Actor:
Bruce McCullough
Songs you might remember:
Happiness Pie
Why you should vote for him:
It was established that both versions of Grivo was successful.
Why you should not vote for him:

Brassed Off was not expected to be a hit, but it proved to be very successful and profitable in England. The film struck a chord (no pun intended) with the British working class, as the plot took place in a depressed town whose mine was facing a shut down. Musically, the key members of the film played in a Brass Band, which was prominently featured. Now does a British Brass Band belong into a Rock Hall?
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Brassed Off (1996)
Actors:
Pete Postlethwaite (Danny)
Ewan McGregor (Andy)
Tara Fitzgerald (Gloria)
Stephen Tompkinson (Phil)
Songs you might remember:
Danny Boy
Why you should vote for them:
Finding better acting will be difficult on this ballot.
Why you should not vote for them:
The film had little traction in North America.

With a pre “B.J. and the Bear” Greg Evigan and a pre “David Letterman Show” Paul Shaffer, we have a television show that nobody asked for. Greg and Paul made a pact with the devil to have “A Year at the Top” as popular musicians. As you can imagine, the show was a mess, and the writers clearly did not sell their soul to the devil to get a hit show as it lasted only five episodes. Of course, both managed to have successful careers anyway.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
A Year at the Top (1977)
Actors:
Greg Evigan
Paul Shaffer
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for them:
Letterman + Cheese = Your Vote?
Why you should not vote for them:
The 1970’s was full of horrible television and if this could not last five episodes, how bad was this show!

In a very cheesy 1969 film, Richard Dreyfuss is part of a band that lives in a house under water. We think that the band was called the Green Onion, though we aren’t exactly sure. Either way, while submerged in the sea (with Tony Randall naturally) they manage to become successful on land. What that is worth is beyond us.
The Bullet Points:
Movies Appeared:
Hello Down There (1969)
Actors:
Richard Dreyfuss (Harold Webster)
Lou Wagner (Marvin Webster)
Gary Tigerman (Tommy Miller)
Kay Cole (Lorrie Miller)
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for them:
Does the fact that Richard Dreyfuss is in this count?
Why you should not vote for them:
This was too cheesy…even for us.
