From the 1960’s sitcom, My Three Sons, we have an interesting candidate in the Greefs, which was led by Don Grady who played the middle brother, Chip Douglas. Grady had his own band and was given the opportunity on the program to showcase his musical ability. We can’t say that Grady ever really made it as a singer, but he was given a platform here. Anyone who was a devotee of this show might remember the Greefs…though we wonder how many of those there are left.



The Bullet Points:

Don Grady (Chip Douglas)
…and we don’t know who else.

Good Man to Have Around

Why you should vote for them:
This is a damned good chunk of 60’s nostalgia right here!

Why you should not vote for them:
Grady really didn’t make it on the show or in real life.

As David Faustino was legitimately trying to be a rapper (seriously) the producers of Married With Children incorporated it as an alter ego of Bud Bundy, named Grandmaster B. The persona was supposed to help him with the ladies, and he gave himself a fake backstory where he was from the mean streets of New York. It rarely worked, but we enjoyed far more enjoyed the incorrect names that he was referred to, than any rap he attempted.

We aren’t sure which one blurs the line between reality and fictional music more on the ballot for our readers here, but for our money, we are the most befuddled by the virtual band, Gorillaz.

Gorillaz has an extensive catalogue of music, and have won awards, but though they have had songs that appeared on Billboard, and technically gone on tour, they exist only in the virtual world. Through the musicianship of Damon Albarn (Blur) and comic book artist, Jamie Hewlett, Gorillaz was formed which musically combined multiple genres and visually gave us a band that was what they felt music was coming to. The end result was brilliant, award winning and leaving fans for years wondering what they would actually see if they attended a Gorillaz concert (which did occur).

So what does this mean? We have a group that in the studio did a great job, had an amazing virtual presence, but again was something that technically does not exist in the physical world.

Does this count for our Hall of Fame? Is this something that should be associated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame only? Hell, we aren’t sure ourselves, and we are glad that the vote on the Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is yours.

Why you should vote for them:

Why you should not vote for them:
We are not even sure that they belong on the ballot. You might feel the same.

After watching a few episodes of Gidget, it became easy to see why Sally Field was the world’s cutest teenager.  In an episode of the show that made her famous, she fronts a band with her tambourine and displays a Goth look, before anybody knew what it was.  It wasn’t great, but fans of the show could have cared less.
