A list of every guest star on 3rd Rock from the Sun with pictures.  All celebrity guest appearances.  Guest performers most often play special guest roles, but sometimes they even play themselves.  More often than not, guest stars appear during what is known as "sweeps", when a television show's Nielsen ratings are scrutinized to decide how much the network can charge for that show's ad space.  Sweeps take place in November, February, May, and July every television season.  Unlike a "cameo appearance" in which a star may only appear on screen for a few seconds, and may not even have lines, guest roles typically have substantial screen time with story arches that can spread throughout multiple episodes.

Who is the best songwriter alive today? The musician responsible for the lyrics and music that&#39;s the most memorable, significant and lasting in all of rock history, who is still with us today. We&#39;re talking, over the course of an entire career, the person who has written the most great songs--the best songwriters of the 21st century. A few things to keep in mind: (1) Songwriting teams are acceptable if they truly worked together (for example, Elton John writing music to Bernie Taupin&#39;s lyrics). When possible, as in the case of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, separate them and focus on individual songwriting. (2) LIVING songwriters. Living. (3) I think the ratio of &quot;great songs&quot; to &quot;not good songs&quot; is important to consider. If someone has 2 classic albums of great songs and then 5 albums worth of garbage, that impacts the overall view of the career, no matter how good the original work was. Something to keep in mind.

2012&#39;s inductees are Guns N&#39; Roses, Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Laura Nyro, Donovan and The Small Faces. Nominated acts that were not selected this year include Eric B. &amp; Rakim, Heart, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, The Spinners, Donna Summer and War. The Rock Hall of Fame decision-making process has been criticized frequently, for collecting all the power in the hands of a few individuals, and for ignoring genres that are not considered &quot;purely&quot; rock (such as hip-hop.) As well, some critics cite the numerous classic, iconic artists who are eligible but have not been inducted. These include Hall &amp; Oates, Yes, Chicago, The Doobie Brothers, Rush, KISS, Sonic Youth, and other members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The most undeserving members of the Rock Hall of Fame are all respectable and successful musicians and bands but quite simply, not at the level of other <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-inductees/rockboy" target="_blank">Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees</a>. These bands and singers are far from the level of legends like <a href="http://www.ranker.com/review/led-zeppelin/1427277" target="_blank">Led Zeppelin</a>, The Beatles, Queen and Elvis Presley but somehow found their way into the Rock Hall regardless.

While all of these least deserving Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members were kind of a big deal back in their day, it&#39;s highly likely that most normal people would have never heard of these folks. Ask any 25-year-old if they&#39;ve ever heard of Darlene Love, Bobby Bland or Jimmy Cliff. See if they can tell you who Gene Vincent, Jimmy Reed or The Moonglows are. Challenge them to name one song from Little Willie John, LaVern Baker or The Flamingos. That person might not be able to recognize any of those names but they all are musicians and bands inducted into the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame. Puzzling isn&#39;t it?

No one is doubting any of the talent or success of these musicians (or saying that they are the worst people to ever make music) but when other (better) singers and bands have been snubbed for induction, it&#39;s valid to examine the interesting selections. For instance, among the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/musicians-who-belong-in-the-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame" target="_blank">musicians who deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame</a> include Deep Purple, Rush, KISS, Journey, Cheap Trick, Jethro Tull and numerous others. Yet these big names were overlooked in place of ancient musicians like Dion, Frankie Lymon and Traffic.

Which Rock Hall inductees do you think are the most undeserving? Think an overrated and already inducted singer or band shouldn&#39;t be in the hall while another should? Add those musicians who you think are the most undeserving, vote up for those you think are the least deserving and even re-rank this list your way all below on this list of the most undeserving members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

One of the most coveted achievements in the world of entertainment is the EGOT. Some talented artists have received it,&nbsp;but what about the stars who are super close to receiving an&nbsp;EGOT? What even is an EGOT?

In case you&#39;re confused, EGOT stands for Emmy, Oscar, Grammy, and Tony. Getting just one of these awards is a tremendous achievement. Getting all of them&nbsp;is nearly impossible. Only&nbsp;20 <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/people-who-have-egots/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">people have received all four awards</a>, but greats like Whoopi Goldberg, Audrey Hepburn, and Mel Brooks have been awarded accordingly.

The term EGOT was actually coined by Miami Vice star Philip Michael Thomas in 1984. He even had the letters EGOT&nbsp;engraved in a gold pendant. &ldquo;Hopefully in the next five years I will win all those awards,&rdquo; <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2016/06/the-strange-tragicomic-history-of-egot/486182/" target="_blank">he famously&nbsp;said</a>. Unfortunately, though, Thomas has never been nominated for any of them.

Quite a few A-listers are close to having an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony, much closer&nbsp;than Phillip Thomas, in any case. Their accomplishments should be applauded.
