The Good Ole Boys

Published in
The Artists
We never heard them play a lick, but the Good Ole Boys (along with the Chicago Police and Illinois Nazis) became sworn enemies of the Blues Brothers after they stole their gig at Bob’s Country Bunker. We are not going to feel bad for them, as there is no way that they could have executed “Rawhide” as good as Jake and Elwood!
The Bullet Points:
Movies Appeared:
The Blues Brothers (1980)
Actors:
Charles Napier (Tucker McElroy)
Jeff Morris (Bob)
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for them:
They were in a one of our favorite films (and we suspect one of yours).
Why you should not vote for them:
We have no idea if they could really play “Country or Western”.
God's Cock

From the Mike Judge film, Extract, we learn of a Metal band named “God’s Cock”, of which one of the factory workers, is a member of. At the end of the film, we see them play in a backyard and are instantly reminded that the guy who gave us Beavis and Butthead did this film.
The Gnats

The Artists
Possibly the worst fictitious band on the ballot, the Gnats comprised of the four male castaways on Gilligan’s Island. In this episode they sing (although unintelligibly) as the Gnats in a bizarre attempt to get the Mosquitoes (a Beatles rip off who was stranded there) to take them off the island. As bizarre as it sounds, only on this show can it make perfect logical sense. Sometimes, it is best not to think about it and just enjoy Gilligan on the drums.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Gilligan’s Island (1965)
Actors:
Bob Denver (Gilligan, Drums)
Alan Hale Jr. (The Skipper, “Guitar”)
Jim Backus (Thurston Howell III, “Guitar”)
Russell Johnson (The Professor, “Guitar”)
Songs you might remember:
We are not really sure what they were trying to sing.
Why you should vote for them:
Only because this is Gilligan!
Why you should not vote for them:
They were absolutely terrible!

Global Heresy

The Artists
From the film of the same name, we have the film that might have marked the end of Alicia Silverstone’s hotness. Playing (badly) a replacement for a bass player who has gone missing in a top band, Silverstone’s character helps the band to refocus as they are tucked away in a British mansion that they rented; which is staffed by the uptight owners who are trying to avoid the perception of their impending bankruptcy. Oh, the hilarity!
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Global Heresy (2002)
Actors:
Alicia Silverstone (Nat)
…and we don’t care who else.
Songs you might remember:
Throw Me A Line
Why you should vote for them:
They were set up as the top act on the planet.
Why you should not vote for them:
Alicia Silverstone in a band? This is about as believable as her playing Bat Girl.
