Topic: DIFFICULT, REAL DIFFICULT THE TOP 5 bands who never existed

Yes YOUR EYES ARE OK.
In fact it is not THAT difficult.
Do you remember these people?

1) THE ARCHIES? they had a smash hit with Sugar, Sugar written by Jeff Barry and Andy Kim on number 1 in the BILLBOARD and so the first multimillion sold record by "cartoon figures" was a fact. Of course the musicians were studio musicians. So a set of studio musicians were assembled by Don Kirshner in 1968 to perform various songs.
SO =  "Sugar, Sugar", , which went to #1 on the pop chart.
The band existed from 1968 - 1975 as long as rge ARCHIE show.
2) SPINAL TAP
Yes the famous "Rockumentary." I think they play for real and wrote songs too, like Stone Henge, Sex farm, Hell Hole. 
3) The BLUES BROTHERS = a band formed by Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi as part of a musical sketch on Saturday Night Live.
4) THE RUTLES = Monty Python’s Eric Idle created The Rutles, whose fictional career paralleled the Fab Four’s in every respect. There is an amazing film, even albums like "All you need is cash" and songs as GET UP AND GO (= Get Back) Rutle Soul, Sgt. Rutter’s Only Darts Club Band and Tragical Mystery Tour.
5)The Commitments.

Shame on you if you didn't see these 2 movies:
1) Spinal Tap
2) The RUTLES: with Tragical History Tour = The history of the Prefab Four, from The Cavern in Rutland to Shabby Road, featuring pictures and sound files of interviews with the Rutles and other Rutlistic people, even Mick Jagger played in the movie interviewed by a reporter about the competion between Rutles AND Stones.
This is a MUST SEE movie. I have 30 songs of them. Close your eyes and you are 100% convinced that you hear the BEATLES.

Hmmm . . . I have never seen The Rutles, but will be sure to seek out the movie.  'Sugar Sugar' I remember hearing on my transistor radio over and over and over again until I got sick of the stupid song - but it permanently embedded in my memory now.

Two unreal bands come to mind:
The Oneders from the movie "That Thing You Do"
Eddie and the Cruisers from the movie by the same name

Both movies are entertaining . . .
