Before Jared Leto entered into a fruitless Rock career, he “led” a band in the brief but much acclaimed TV show, “My So Called Life”. We can’t say that we remember a lot about the program, but we don’t recall much about Leto’s actual band (30 Seconds to Mars) either.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
My So Called Life (1994)
Actor:
Jared Leto (Jordan Catalano)
And we have no idea who else in this group.
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for them:
We are going to go with the critical acclaim reason for this one.
Why you should not vote for them:
Leto is on the strange side, and the band had little play in the show.

If you are going to have a movie about music, you still need bad guys right? In Eminem’s quasi-autobiographical film, 8 Mile, the “bad guys” were the Battle Rap group, “Tha Free World”. This group not only beat B. Rabbit with their lyrics, but with their fists. To nobody’s surprise, they lose at the end, but performed their role well. If B. Rabbit gets in, could their “evil” opponent follow after?
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
8 Mile (2002)
Actors:
Anthony Mackie (Papa Doc)
Eugene Byrd (Wink)
Malik Barnhardt (Moochie)
Strike (Lyckety-Splyt)
Nashawn Breedlove (Lotto)
Day Golfin (Day)
Allen Adams (Omar)
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for them:
They were formidable opposition to B. Rabbit.
Why you should not vote for them:
Well, they did lose at the end after all.

One of the stars of the “Playtone” label was Freddy Fredrickson, whose signature hit “Mr. Downtown” was a catchy tune that was half charm and half swarm. Somehow, we think if we were alive in that time period and this was a real song; this would be a guilty pleasure; and perhaps one we would want to make a bad private eye show around.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
That Thing You Do (1996)
Actor:
Robert Torti
Songs you might remember:
Mr. Downtown
Why you should vote for him:
In the Playtone universe, he had a hit.
Why you should not vote for him:
It was in the film briefly.

We love Arrested Development, but we almost forgot about when George Bluth II (Will Arnett) showed us his ventriloquist act and attempted to record an album featuring the songs of Franklin; his African American puppet. In his lone episode we learn that $5,000 was spent to make “Franklin Comes Alive”, though his brand of racial harmony never saw the light of day.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Arrested Development (2005)
Actor:
Will Arnett
Songs you might remember:
Everything I Do, I Do it For You
Why you should vote for them:
Will Arnett and a puppet? Sign us up!
Why you should not vote for them:
A racially insensitive album (that was never released) may not belong here.
