We have no illusion that this a capella group from the News Radio’s lead’s College will get inducted, but when we have a quartet that has Dave Foley, David Cross and Bob Odenkirk as three quarters of the group that apparently played “BadgerJam 88”, we know we have comedic gold.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
News Radio (1998)
Actors:
David Foley
David Cross
Bob Odenkirk
Brian Posehn
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for them:
Come on, this is a combination of Mr. Show and the Kids in the Hall!
Why you should not vote for them:
There is no signature song here at all.

So what do you do when you have a successful franchise? You create a female version. The result of course, is a watered down (and frankly unnecessary) replica, but they probably have more recorded songs then your favorite bar band.
The Bullet Points:
Movie and TV Shows Appeared:
Alvin and the Chipmunks (1983-90)
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (2009)
Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked (2011)
Actors:
Multiple voices used.
Songs you might remember:
Nothing really…
Why you should vote for them:
Until Alvin and the Chipmunks get in, this should never be considered.
Why you should not vote for them:
Even after Alvin gets in, this was really a lame female version.

Chief Kawanawanalea and his Royal Macadamia Nuts

From the underappreciated concept album (The Turtles present the Battle of the Bands) by the Turtles we have an albums where different “bands” appeared. This allowed the group to not only stretch their skills musically, as each “band” had a completely different sound and also showcase their humor.
It was a cheap joke, a short song and it still makes a lot of people chuckle when they hear it. Amazingly if any of these “bands” make our Hall (not that we are expecting any of them too), we think it might be the fine Chief.
The Bullet Points:
Album Appeared:
The Turtles present the Battle of the Bands (1968)
Actors/Performers:
The Turtles
Songs you might remember:
I’m Chief Kawanawanalea (We’re the Royal Macadamia Nuts)
Why you should vote for them:
This song was a little infectious.
Why you should not vote for them:
We aren’t sure ourselves if the Turtles billing themselves under another name for one song only should even count.

The Chesterfields

The Artists
From the tribute film to the spirit of Rock and Roll, American Hot Wax, we have the Chesterfields who were a fictionalized version of Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers. The film’s rock stars were half people who played themselves and half made up bands, which may make these fictional entries from the film muddled at best, and long shots for entry.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
American Hot Wax (1978)
Actors:
Carl Earl Weaver
Al Chalk
Sam Harkness
Arnold McCuller
Songs you might remember:
Why Do Fools Fall in Love?
Why you should vote for them:
This is from a film that celebrated Rock and Roll.
Why you should not vote for them:
Basically, they pretended they were someone else.
