[Schlorgan]

This is probably the place to admit that for the majority of my life, I thought that The Wonders were real and that That Thing You Do was a biopic 😂

It needed an American Graffiti-esque postscript.

Natalie "Envy" Adams went on to become an intergalactic superhero and take on Thanos bare-handed.
Ramona went on to become a member of the Gotham anti-hero clique, "The Birds of Prey".
Scott Pilgrim eventually got dumped and currently does speedruns.

Who can forget Nick Rivers?

 

[DeadmansTheory]

The most excellent Wyld Stallyns

 

[shem]

 

[Indy in the Fridge]

 

[Kwigo]

I'm so sad that the anime ended so quickly :'( That OST was perfection.

 

[PoppaBK]

Not sure if it's really a fictional band but this is my favorite fictional song.

But yeah Spinal Tap can't be beat.

NWH from 'Fear of a Black Hat' come close, although that is a direct rip off of Spinal Tap.

 

[Izzard]

Max Rebo band:)

 

[eXistor]

Finally someone posted them.

 

[DeadmansTheory]

The Mighty Boosh

 

[RedVejigante]

Spinal Tap is the correct answer, but I've always also been fond of the Juicy Fruits/Beach Bums/The Undead from Phantom of the Paradise.

 

[Tavernade]

The Hex Girls!

 

[Jag]

Obviously Spinal Tap, but not as obvious is Stillwater from Almost Famous.

 

[DeadmansTheory]

Old Gods Of Asgard

How about the Blues Brothers, the Monkees, or Spinal Tap? Those are the biggest ones I can think of.

 

[The Albatross]

First one that came to mind was "Lovefist" from GTA:VC and San Andreas.

this thread is basically the premise of the CHristopher Guest movie, a Mighty Wind, sort of a follow up to This is Spinal Tap.

 

[StoryofSouls]

 

[Carn]

Not sure if it's really a fictional band but this is my favorite fictional song.

I Know but the Brie Larson version is 10000000000000000000x better and should be on streaming platforms

 

[Anoregon]

Brie Larson singing Metric in Scott Pilgrim is my shit.

 

[Sabretooth]

GIRLS DEAD MONSTER FUCK YEAH (Angel Beats!)



Also giving a shoutout to Triple-H, the band from Mawaru Penguindrum that covered ARB. I can't find any videos of them though, only covers.
