Best and worst fictitious bands

[SuperBacon]

Inspired by the absolute shite that was Defiler/Visiting Day from The Sopranos, who are clearly contenders for the worst fictitious band, what are some other good suggestions for those categories?

I'm not having Stillwater as the best, but only because I thought they were a bit crap

Our household are big Loded Diper fans. Rodrick indeed rules.

The Orange Organics are a good shout for best band as well.

Josie & The Pussycats too. 

There are loads out there so your suggestions for best and worst please.

[The Gaffer]

Worst would have to be Various Artists/Grandma's Boner/The Hair Blair Bunch/Spunk Bubble/Mama's Kumquat/Coming Up For Blair/Executioner's Bong/Curse These Metal Hands/Danny Dyer's Chocolate Homunculus/Man Feelings/13 Bastards/Chemical Toilet Brothers from Peep Show.

Just a brilliantly done, sonically agonising "I'm 18, weed's my culture and I just got a dodgy torrent of Fruityloops"

 

Best is Blouse, of course. Chris Morris's quite frankly astoundingly accurate send-up of Jarvis Cocker/Pulp:

"Myra is a very complex woman you know. And this is a song about her hair."

[SuperBacon]

Reminded me of this, which is better than anything Oasis have done since their first two albums. The refrain of "Kill yourseeeeeeeelf" always cracks me up.

Mr Wells from the Fast Show.

As I’ve just watched the wonderful Muppets Mayhem this week I feel obliged to go with Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.

The best: Crucial Taunt

The worst: The Shitty Beatles

[Merzbow]

Creme Brulee, both best and worst.

So it's not just a clever name.

Best is obviously California Dreams.

Second best is Oodles & Noodles.

All the rest are joint worst.

All the rest except The Beets, I mean.

[SuperBacon]

Did The Beets also do the "How low can you go? Porkchop!" song.

A contender for the worst has to be Drive Shaft.

Sorry mate. Maybe I was being harsh, but Fever Dog was a crap song.

But I will say that they did absolutely nail for sound/look etc of a band from that era. And Billy Crudup is one sexy man.

[Dr. Alan Grant]

I think the reason I like them is Crudup. He looks so damn cool. And I’m a sucker for Jason Lee too.

there is some great remixes of Beers songs on YouTube such as Shout your lungs out and I need more allowance.

 

Are we counting Fur Q? Not a band but a fantastic name and parody.
