Found it.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 14:49 (twenty years ago)

Oh yeah, I really wanted to read that book. I read a review of it when it came out. The bear wears a hat and a trenchcoat as a "disguise" right?

I guess. I haven't read it either.

I made up a band in 4th grade, and I used to draw pictures of them when I was a kid.

Sidewinder:
Lee Ceago - drums, vocals
Will Davidson - lead guitar
Jason Davidson - bass
Dave Johnson - keyboards (he of course replaced David King, the original rhythm guitarist, and leader of the band)

tie: NWH (Niggaz With Hats) and The Rutles

assuming Spinal Tap doesn't count

what was Justine Bateman's band called in Smithereens?

oh, and the Misfits from the Jem cartoon.

and the band from Trick or Treat. Or was that a solo act? It was a solo act. Man that movie was funny.

Form the above thread:

The Shunned were a fictional band in my city during late seventies punk days. Posters use to appear for their shows that were to be at vague local locations (ex. - "at the Shoe Store"). Many locals believed them to be real for a while, and were intrigued. They even had fictional members (Dick Chocolate, Jet Yellow, Doomy Number).

― peepee (peepee), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 15:50 (twenty years ago)

nick andopolis's solo stuff was, i felt, superior to the works of Dimension or the band with daniel and ken (freaks and geeks)

My favouritey band is of course one which I made up- with my cranium!!!!! In the naughty nineties!!!! The beat combo's nomenclature was Vigilante Shipbuilders, and they were as Seventies type might sat, a power trio supergroup: of Missy Elliot (Lead vocals, beats, production), Danny MacNamara from Embrace (Vocals, guitars, and friend of Paul Weller- very important in the 90's!!!!!!), and Danbert Nobacon (Vocals, Political Strategist) from
Chumbawumba!!!!!!!

If they existed, they would have packed out stadiums!!!!!!

Perhaps not 'favourites', but I've long assumed that they were all pretty bitchin', in a non-existent kind of way.
