Scum of the Earth

From one of the most acclaimed Sitcoms of all time, WKRP in Cincinnati, the struggling radio station sponsored their first concert since they switched their format to Rock and Roll. That band, was the eccentric, Scum of the Earth; who refused to perform, sabotaged an interview and were overall major pains in the ass. Michael Des Barres, who was in Scum, had his band Detective, provided the actual music, and lovers of WKRP (which we suspect are many) will probably give this one a few votes.

While watching Kevin Malone in the American version of the Office, it is difficult to believe that he has the skills to be a drummer of a band of any kind. Still, lovable and dimwitted Kevin is the drummer and singer of Scranton, Pennsylvania’s top Police cover band; Scrantonicity. We can’t say that it makes this group a top contender for our Hall of Fame, but many remember them which is more than many other cover bands out there.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
The Office (2007)
Actors:
Brian Baumgartner (Kevin Malone)
A few others who we don’t know
Songs you might remember:
Police cover songs
Why you should vote for him them:
Perhaps this is a chance to induct a Police cover band?
Why you should not vote for them:
Seriously, cover bands should never be in any Hall of Fame.

Another that we had to really think about of he qualifies, Schroeder was a Beethoven loving piano player who we saw mostly face deep tickling the ivories (that sounded bad). He was never a central figure of the Peanuts comic strip or the TV specials, and he always seemed to play the same song. Still, every Christmas and Halloween you can count on that song playing on television.
The Bullet Points:
TV Specials Appeared:
Multiple
Actors:
Multiple Voices
Songs you might remember:
That same song that they always play.
Why you should vote for him:
He debuted in 1951 and is still very well known today.
Why you should not vote for him:
He is a Beethoven enthusiast; not exactly a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame resume is it?

After Dewey Finn (Jack Black) was thrown out of his band, No Vacancy, and in dire need of money, he adopted the persona of his roommate and took a job as a substitute teacher where upon learning that his kids could play music, he ditched the curriculum and set out to create his own Rock Band to defeat No Vacancy at the Battle of the Bands. In the hands of anyone other than Jack Black, this film would have probably been a disaster, but this would be a film that was equal funny as it was sweet and should be a serious Hall contender.
The Bullet Points:

Joey Gaydos Jr. (Zack Mooneyham, Lead Guitar)

Why you should vote for them:
This band was actually very good.
Why you should not vote for them:
There is something about voting for a bunch of kids that seems a bit off.
