While watching a recent episode of “Rock Star:INXS,” we began to wonder just what exactly CBS might do if they decide to renew the reality show for a second season. Would there be other bands willing to risk humiliation in hopes of reviving a sagging career? Would disbanded has-beens leap from the woodwork for a chance at scoring another hit? Here are some potential bands for the next season of “Rock Star,” complete with our analysis of whether or not they’d be a good choice:

Queen: An appearance on a reality show like this one would take one of the world’s greatest rock bands and forever file them in the “suck” category. Brian May would never let this happen. If it did, fans everywhere would be seen hurling their TVs (and their copies of “A Night at the Opera”) out the window.

Nirvana: Somewhere in Los Angeles, a TV exec is pitching this very idea, only he/she has not a clue how ridiculous a concept this would be. However were that same exec to pitch Hole instead, the show would probably win an Emmy.

Van Halen: Now here’s a show everybody can get behind. First of all, the Van Halen brothers are notorious cocksuckers, so it’d be wildly entertaining to see them bash all the performances each week. Secondly, it’s Van fucking Halen -– what kind of red-blooded American doesn’t love Van fucking Halen? The first task could be a competition to see who could pick out all of the brown M&Ms the fastest.

Sublime: Considering Bradley Knowles was Sublime, it wouldn’t really make sense to base a show around replacing him. But the band did have great songs and it’d be good fun to see all the fat tattooed punk rockers show up to try out.

Blind Melon: What could make for better reality TV than a competition to find a singer for a one hit wonder? Imagine the sideshow freaks that would show up for this thing. This dear readers, is reality TV gold.

The Germs: Finding the next Darby Crash would be difficult, but it sure would be fun to watch. This would have to be on HBO and not CBS.

The Doors: Despite the fact that the Doors are one of the most overrated bands in the history of rock music, this version could actually work. There could be a workshop where you teach the contestants to take out their wieners (or vaginas) on stage. And another where you make up reptilian nicknames for yourself and write crummy poetry. We’re guessing the egos in this band are big enough, and their current cash flow small enough, to just about make this happen.
