From The Partridge Family and Josey & The Pussycats to Wyld Stallyns and The Soggy Bottom Boys - television, cartoons and movies have created some awesome and memorable 'fake' musical acts that have some real music chops!
These are our favorites off the top of our heads - what are yours? Who did we miss?
These are our favorites off the top of our heads - what are yours? Who did we miss?
 | Brooke: Jem and the Holograms, because Jem is truly, truly, truly outrageous. The new live-action movie will have to be rockin' to do the band and the hair justice. |
Ariyanna: Jem is my pick too!
| Lauren: I'm going to go with The Commitments. I love that movie (and can actually understand their thick accents.) I still own and listen two the two albums they made from the soundtrack. Nothing like some Dublin Soul.... |  |
| Meghan: These guys. Always. Literally the only album my mum refused to donate to my record collection was the Blues Brothers! |  |
Annie:
The Sex Bob-ombs from Scott Pilgrim V. the World!

 | Maria: MTV used to have reruns of the TV show, The Monkees. I loved their music and thought the actors were adorable. I found out later that their songs were written by famous song writers! |
 | Heather: Aca-scuse me? What about the Barden Bellas?! Not only are they awesome, but who doesn't love Fat Amy? I can't wait for the Pitch Perfect sequel! |
| Lindsey: The Wonders from That Thing You Do. A classic movie set in my favorite decade. The only thing I love more than the music is the costuming! |  |
 | Jen: What! No Love for Spinal Tap? They are the best metal band that never existed outside a Christopher Guest mockumentary. When writing their name, don't forget the dotless letter i and the metal umlaut over the n!  |
Honorable Mention - Steel Dragon from Rockstar
