Nonnie Parry

We can’t obviously speak for everyone, but for our money the ultimate guilty pleasure film is the 1972 film, the Poseidon Adventure. The acting was bad, the names were huge, but none of that mattered! One of the featured characters trying to survive was from the band, on the form of Nonnie Parry who may have had an inappropriate relationship with Red Skeleton (or so we thought), but she did survive; though never to play horrible music with her dead brother.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
Actor:
Carol Lynley
Songs you might remember:
The Morning After
Why you should vote for her:
She was one of ten people to survive the capsized ship.
Why you should not vote for her:
If she were not in the film, would it have mattered? Also, what did she do musically?

This was the original band of Dewey Finn (Jack Black) in the successful comedy, “School of Rock”. Dewey was kicked out of the group when his over indulgent and quasi-hyperactive antics proved to be too much. His replacement led them to be a favorite in the Battle of the Bands, though Dewey had something to say about that!
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
School of Rock (2003)
Actors:
Jack Black (Dewey Finn)
Adam Pascal
Lucas Babin
Lucas Papaelias
Shawn Rodney
Songs you might remember:
Heal Me I’m Heartsick
Why you should vote for them:
Watching Jack Black at his hyperactive best is always entertaining.
Why you should not vote for them:
Black was deliberately bad here.

It may have been praised by the critics, but the movie going public were oblivious to “Fear of a Black Hat”, which was a mockumentary of the Rap world, and a great satire at that. For whatever reason, it never took off, but might be worth a look by a viewing audience, though we doubt it will ever gain any serious traction here.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Fear of A Black Hat (1994)
Actors:
Rusty Cundieff (Ice Cold)
Larry B. Scott (Tasty Taste)
Mark Christopher Lawrence (Tone Def)
Songs you might remember:
Booty Juice
Why you should vote for them:
In terms of Mockumentary Rap acts, we don’t have many other candidates.
Why you should not vote for them:
The above may be true, but how many care?

Nick the Lounge Singer

As we were creating the ballot, we have been amazed just how many lounge singers we found. We always say though that a lounge act is a hard sell for the Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but what if it was Bill Murray as Nick the Lounge Singer? This was one of the classic characters from the early days for the show and it killed every time. If there is one lounge singer that could get in, could this be the one?
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Saturday Night Live (1976-80)
Actor:
Bill Murray
Songs you might remember:
Star Wars Medley
Why you should vote for him:
It was a great sketch, and this is Bill Murray!
Why you should not vote for him:
As we always say; does a Lounge Singer belong here?
