Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young, Gifted and Black

The Rutles famed manager, Leggy Mountbatten managed a band that had four names you might be familiar with. Originally the “Machismo Brothers”, they were renamed to cater to the emerging feminist movement to Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young, Gifted and Black and recorded one album together and were known for their matching plaid jackets. Somehow, we think that Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young did just fine without Gifted and Black.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
All You Need is Cash (1978)
The Fictitious Band:
David Crosby
Stephen Stills
Graham Nash
Neil Young
Mike Gifted

Musically, the audio output of Creation stunk. We were treated to only one disjointed attempt at Sunshine of Your Love, which calling it even an attempt is being generous. However, look at this stellar lineup?
You have Seth Rogen as the lead singer, James Franco on guitar, Jason Segal on drums and the goalie from the Mighty Ducks is on bass. Even the groupies rocked with Busy Phillips and Linda Cardellini. Visually, this was a Mount Rushmore of awesome, but as the band was just so bad, how much chance do they have? We can’t wait to see the votes on this one.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Freaks and Geeks (1999)
Actors:
James Franco (Daniel Desario, Guitar)
Seth Rogen (Ken Miller, Singer)
Jason Segal (Nick Andopolis, Drums)
Shaun Weiss (Sean, Bass)
Songs you might remember:
Sunshine of Your Love
Why you should vote for them:
The lineup does not get much better than this.
Why you should not vote for them:
The band was really bad.

If you have seen our Worst Songs of All Time, you would see what we really think of Crazy Frog, an Internet meme that went places that we wish never could take place. We have stated a lot of what we think on our Worst Songs list so repeating our opinion here doesn’t need to be done again, however we have to respect the fact that this generated a #50 Hit in the United States, and went to number one in many other countries. Maybe this is a legitimate candidate for the Hall!
The Bullet Points:
Album Appeared:
Crazy Hits (2005)
Performers:
Multiple
Songs you might remember:
Axel F.
Why you should vote for it:
Whether we like it or not, this was a success.
Why you should not vote for it:
This was an abomination in the world of music.

Unlike The Pirates of the Caribbean, the Country Bears did not spawn sequels, did not generate positive reviews and was not a box office success. Still, there was a segment that found the film cute, and it did have a very strong cast. This might generate a few surprise votes here and there; or it might not.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Country Bears (2002)
Actors:
Diedrich Bader (voice) John Hiatt (singing) (Ted Bedderhead, lead singer)
Haley Joel Osment (voice) Elizabeth Daily (singing) Beary Barrington
Candy Ford (voice) Bonnie Raitt (singing) (Trixie St. Claire, keyboards, vocals)
Toby Huss (voice) Don Henley (singing) (Tennessee O’Neal, guitar and vocals)
Brad Garrett (Fred Bedderhead)
Stephen Root (Zeb Zoober, Fiddle)
Songs you might remember:
Ew Girl, Ew
Why you should vote for them:
This was a very strong cast.
Why you should not vote for them:
The film was a flop.
