Billy Parker was a bit shite. And yes, I had to google this.
The Rutles
What he said ^ by a country mile, in all departments.
Does Chef count or is that just a comedy song?
First heard this on the radio while driving on a motorway. Nearly crashed when I worked out what was going on
edit: ok, that's 4 attempts at embedding a video. No idea why it doesn't work today. Have to look up the instructions again
Sex Babomb?
Or, Party on Wanye, Party on Garth...Crucial Taunt...schwing
(White) Ammunition...
Kurupt FM innit.
This been dun yet? She was just "singer" but was pretty cool in the context of the programme.
But honestly, there isn't one single band* on here you'd, well, I would, listen to outside of the film or programme. They're all crap really 😀
*oops! Except Gorillaz or The Monkees, but they rit songs and dun real releases didn't they

I think we need to define what fictional means.

Looking at the suggestions I reckon it's a toss up between Disaster Area and Fur Q. The former had a great PA and pyrotechnics, but Fur Q did the best MTV videos.
Frozen Gold.
Monkees were a concocted band, not a fictional band, most of their early songs written by the likes of Neil Dianond. Of course Mike Nesmith is an outstanding songwriter in his own right, and they made a film called Head, with a lot of really scathing comments on the music industry. It was the last thing The Monkees would record for many years.
Another made-up band I’ve just thought of is Josie and the Pussycats.
Dingoes Ate My Baby (actually Four Star Mary).
Great band, saw them play the Fleece in Bristol a couple of times, still wear the tee shirts!
from rip off press - Gilbert Sheltons comic strip band = Not Quite Dead

After watching the brilliant BBC documentary, Bros have got to be up there. I mean, there's no way them two are actually real people, some of the sh!t they come out with!

video[b]s[/b]? There was only one, surely?
Well we only saw one, but who knows?
Some awesome ones already chosen by others - CB4, Sexual Chocolate, The Rutles and The Commitments.
I think in my book Northwind has to win, perhaps biased, because I too had a fictional band. Alas, no CD’s were ever made and in our day they would have been C60’s anyway.
Me and my mate Pete fronted a white dub outfit - ’Raggapenas’. We were the frontmen and brothers Desmond and Derek Raggapenas. Our band was a modern parody of our hometowns UB40. Our fictional output was covers of 80’s pop classics in a ‘dub stylee’ - bringing the music back home to it’s roots...
Totally in questionable taste - but the idea entertained us.
