Tom Frank

When we first see Tom Frank, he is one third of the Country Folk group, Bill, Mary & Tom, but his aspirations is to reinvent himself as a solo act takes over, and that is what he does in Nashville. Played by Keith Carradine, Tom Frank is a selfish womanizer, though his subtle depth is displayed in his lyrics. Carradine actually wrote the signature song “I’m Easy” which would win the Best Song Oscar. That might make this the one entry from Nashville that could get inducted.

Keith Carradine

It was basically a lounge act, but it put Cameron Diaz on the map and gave the world an instant leading lady. Diaz was sultry, sexy and showed just enough acting chops to make you want to see more. We are not certain that this is enough to get her inducted, but it is more than enough to put her on the ballot.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Mask (1994)
Actor:
Cameron Diaz
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for her:
She was at her smoking hot best here.
Why you should not vote for her:
Does the fact she was a singer in this role really matter?

Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld

We will go out on a limb and state that Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld may have the best chance of any South Park band for the Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but what does this really mean? The band was a gimmick with a severely handicapped front man in Timmy, who beyond smiling and saying his own name was incapable of much else. Still, the band wins a Battle of the Bands to open for Phil Collins (Yes, Phil Collins), and winds up as the headliner instead. For what it is worth, this is the South Park band with the most Rock and Roll credibility, though lord knows what that means.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
South Park (2000)
Actor:
Trey Parker
Matt Stone

Thunderface

From what was said to be show creator and star, Brent Butt’s favorite episode, we learn of “Thunderface”, the band that Dog River residents, Brent, Wanda and Hank had in High School. Their musical style was described as "a small animal caught in some kind of machinery," and their sole gig since 1986 was booked for comedic purposes due to the poor performance. Of note (which is huge for Canadians) this episode featured a cameo appearance by the Tragically Hip, which for those of you in the States who are not aware, is for many Canadians the most important band the country ever produced.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Corner Gas (2005)
Actors:
Brent Butt (Brent Leroy, Lead Guitar)
Fred Ewanuick (Hank Yarbo, Lead Singer)
Nancy Robertson (Wanda Dollard, Bass)
Tara Spencer-Nairn (Constable Karen Pelly, Drums)

Why you should vote for them:
This is iconic in Canada.
Why you should not vote for him:
As iconic as this television show is in Canada, that isn’t the case anywhere else.
