Best Fictional Band?
 
Just for fun, who is the best fictional band? Please give a vote and share your vote and reason.

The choices:

The School of Rock

Wyld Stallyns

Dingos Ate My Baby

Drive Shaft

Sonic Death Monkey/Barry Jive and the Uptown Five

Spinal Tap

The Wonders

Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem

The Blues Brothers




This really, really is tough, but I'm going with Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. They're amazing, simply put. Admit it, if you had to hire a band for a party, The Electric Mayhem are first, Parliament second, everyone else third or worse.

My second place would be The Wonders (they actually all could play and it was a "real" fictional band; they played shows!). Third would be The School of Rock.

I picked "other" for The Rutles, a Monty Python invention well known for their Beatles parodies. Don't know how you forgot them , spaz.

Ah, I only included Dingos Ate My Baby because I couldn't think of another good one. That's why I left 10 open. Good call.

How about Foreskin. :rockband:

I just made that one up.

Can't get more fictional than that.

The manager behind that band is a real p***k. :)

The Blues Brothers were also a real band, with several different line-ups after Belushi passed.

And they were on a mission for God. How could that be fictional. :dunno:

My "other" vote goes to "NO" - the band Peter Banks wanted to start.
