Top 5 Fictional Movie Bands

Today, both Rose Byrne and Elisabeth Moss celebrate birthdays.  Both of these actresses starred in the wildly funny, "Get Him to the Greek."  So this got me thinking about all the great bands and artists that I wish were real, so here are my top 5.

#5-Dewey Cox, "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story"
John C. Reilly plays this character spoofing such music legends as Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, and Bob Dylan.  He is hilarious as he plays a music legend adjusting to the various eras in rock and roll.

#4-Stillwater, "Almost Famous"
Jason Lee and Billy Crudup lead this band across the country on a tour in the 1970's in one of the best written films of this century.  Crudup is the focus as the band's guitarist while Lee is the jealous singer who thinks he should be getting all the glory, but the music keeps them together.

#3-Sex Bob-omb, "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World"
"Scott Pilgrim" is a film I fell in love with the moment I saw it, and Sex Bob-omb plays a huge part in making this such an awesome movie.  Consisting of Michael Cera, Alison Pill and Mark Webber, this band helps Scott (Michael Cera) defeat one of the evil exes he must face.  I could not say enough about this film.

#2-The Blues Brothers
John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd form one of the best comedy duos as well as one of the best bands in film and television history.  This film is still very funny and the music is great.  The group reformed with John Goodman in the 90's, but it will never be the same.

#1-Spinal Tap
Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer form this band for the mockumentary, "This is Spinal Tap."  This film perfectly spoofs rock and roll bands with speakers that go up to 11 and the many drummers that are seen with this band.  It will forever be one of the best comedy gems of all time.

Honorable Mention
The Wonders, "That Thing You Do"-Tom Hanks introduced this band with one very catchy song and a great story about one bands rise and fall.
Infant Sorrow, "Get Him to the Greek"- Russell Brand is both funny and talented as Aldous Snow singing very funny songs quite impressively.
Any band from "A Mighty Wind"-This film reunites Spinal Tap as a folk band, and even brings together many other fictitious folk bands in this farce about the folk music scene.  Very, very funny.
