Didn’t Kelly Bundy seem perfect for a late 80’s/early 90’s Hair Metal Rock and Roll Video? On Married…With Children, that is exactly what happened, as she was the “girl” in the video for the Gutter Cats. Who are they? Does it really matter, as this Sitcom often created their own canon of fictitious Metal bands. At least this one we saw.

Why you should not vote for them:
A one off shot where the groupie was the star does not a Hall of Fame entrant make.

From Nickelodeon’s successful teen Sitcom, Drake & Josh, the main protagonist had his own band, which although got a lot of screen time, did not seem to have a name; at least not one that we are aware of. Regardless, Drake Bell (who played Drake Parker) could at least sing and play guitar, which may elevate him higher than most on the ballot.

In the category of those we almost forgot about, Zora Banks (Sanaa Latham) was the female lead against Wesley Snipes where she was an aspiring singer (though admittedly we don’t recall her singing much) in the HBO movie, Disappearing Acts.   Actually, is that not a perfect name for their careers?



The Bullet Points:
TV Movie Appeared:
Disappearing Acts (2000)

Actor:
Sanaa Latham

Songs you might remember:
None

Why you should vote for her:
We don’t have a lot here.

Why you should not vote for her:
Didn’t we explain this when we had Latham in the Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame?

As Degrassi continues to be relevant in North American pop culture (who knew that when it started!) we have to include on the ballot the junior high band from the late 1980’s, the Zit Remedy. With Joey Jeremiah, Snake and Wheels, the three chord song, “Everybody Wants Something” may have been successful at the Junior Prom, though the band never had a higher apex…even after they abbreviated their name to just the “Zits”.

As it is now, the “band” has legs in more than just their native Canada, and they are remembered far more than anyone could imagine. Who would have thought it?



The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Degrassi Junior High (1988-90)

Actors:
Pat Mastroianni (Joey Jeremiah, Singer and Keyboards)
Stefan Brogren (Archie “Snake” Simpson, Guitar)
Neil Hope (Derek “Wheels” Wheeler, Guitar)

Songs you might remember:
Everybody Wants Something

Why you should vote for them:
Shockingly, this band has a lot of traction.

Why you should not vote for them:
Musically speaking, they were pretty bad.
