The solo career of Greg Brady was brief, but Brady Bunch fans the world over remember “Johnny Bravo”. As Bravo, Greg would get sucked into the fame, but as you would expect with a Brady, he would learn to put family first and would not sell out his musical integrity…and yes it was implied he had some.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
The Brady Bunch (1973)
Actor:
Barry Williams (Greg Brady)
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for him:
The name is still known.
Why you should not vote for him:
There is no musical legacy here

John Norman Howard

“A Star is Born” may be the name of the film but for John Norman Howard (Kris Kristofferson) his star was falling fast. As much as this was Barbara Streisand’s picture, many preferred watching the acting of Kristofferson and the inner conflicts he was going through. He always played a sentimental tough guy well, and here he was more vulnerable than we have seen him. For many, he made this film.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
A Star is Born (1976)
Actor:
Kris Kristofferson
Songs you might remember:
Watch Closely Now
Why you should vote for him:
Kristofferson was very good in this film.
Why you should not vote for him:
His acting was good, but it was a tad depressing.

Jocks-Wa-Hey was a young band from Glasgow whose rise to fame is a template that all aspiring musicians need to see. From the British six part series, “The Young Person’s Guide to Becoming a Rock Star” (which was complete with some of the best cameos ever), the satire of the music industry has never been better, and why this was never shown in the United States is beyond us.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
The Young Person’s Guide to Becoming a Rock Star (1998)
Actors:
Ciaran McMenamin (Jez MacAllister, Lead Singer)
Duncan Marwick (Psycho, Bass)
Stephen McCole (Wullie MacBoyne, Drummer)
Nicola Stapleton (Joe Nardone, Lead Guitar)
Simhone Lahbib (Fiona Johnstone, Keyboards)
Songs you might remember:
Why Won’t You Shag Me
Why you should vote for them:
This is one of the better series that explores the music industry, and delivers a wicked send up of it.
Why you should not vote for them:
This got zero attention in North America.

Naturally when Kelly Bundy got a show on Chicago Public Access (titled “Vital Social Issues ‘n’ Stuff with Kelly”) she needed a slutty house band. The band she got played brief five second songs, and just one word which was Sex. Once the show became a hit and was picked up by the network, the show was made over, as was the band, who now sang about milk. It was cancelled of course.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Married With Children (1995)
Actor:
We aren’t really sure.
Songs you might remember:
Sex
Why you should vote for them:
They were memorable at least.
Why you should not vote for them:
Two chords (was it even two?) and one spoken word is not a band.
