The Jack Frost Band was a Blues Cover band of nearly middle-aged men still hoping for a record deal. Led by Michael Keaton, (of course with the character name of Jack Frost), he perishes in a car accident when he is rushing to get back to his family. So what happens? He is reincarnated as a snowman. Now how was this greenlighted?

Jack Frost (1998)

If you want to employ a shredder for a guitar battle, you would be hard pressed to better than Steve Vai. He is known throughout the world for his skills with the axe, but it was a little painful to watch him lose to Ralph Macchio at the end.
Ivanhoe Martin

Arguably the most important film to come out of Jamaica, The Harder They Come starred Jimmy Cliff as Ivanhoe “Ivan” Martin, an aspiring reggae musician who fights the record company and the law on his road to stardom. This is a genre that had not given us very many representatives, and as this is one from an iconic film, that gave a great soundtrack and is by a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, we think we may have a sleeper candidate here.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Harder They Come (1972)
Actor:
Jimmy Cliff
Songs you might remember:
The Harder They Come
Why you should vote for him:
This is easily the best Reggae choice on the ballot.
Why you should not vote for him:
Sadly, most people think the genre was only done by Bob Marley.

From the unintentional schlock (isn’t that the best kind of schlock?) of a Horror film, “Motel Hell”, we have a band that was travelling to the wrong place at the wrong time. Ivan and the Terribles, were the victim of all sorts of torture by the friendly psychopath in the film and did so with the great acting you would expect. The band did have a future mailman in the form of John Ratzenberger, which may be what we remember it the most for.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Motel Hell (1980)
Actors:
Michael Melvin (Ivan, Singer)
John Ratzenberger (Drummer)
Marc Silver (Guitar)
Victoria Hartman (Bass)
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for them:
Marijuana smoking Rock Bands that are tortured to death are rare on this ballot.
Why you should not vote for them:
Did we ever see them play?
