On the inner cover of Half Man Half Biscuit's Cammell Laird Social Club, there is an "Also available:" section where a number of fictional albums are pictured. Alongside Jack Charlton Reads The Book of Job, my favourite is probably Those Bones by The Correct Speech Gospel Quartet.

Georgie Saint and the Sinners.

If anyone remembers seventies australian soap "The Young Doctors" Georgie Saint was the hunky lead singer; looked liek a genetic boss eyed hybrid of leif garret and hulk hogan, think a young Nick Nolte with a lemon juice bleached perm, or a lost member of Razorlight.

If that's not enough then there's always Figrin Da'n and the Modal Nodes from the Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine.

The Paranoids (from Crying of Lot 49)
I always thought that the Paranoids' (60s psychedelic garagepunks) names were Miles, Dean, Serge and Leonard was just so OTM.

The Three Little Bops from Looney Tunes. It was the story of the Three Little Pigs, but in this version they had a jazz band, and instead of wanting to eat them, the big bad wolf wanted to join the band. Unfortunately the wolf was pretty much tone deaf until he managed to kill himself, but "didn't go to heaven, was the other place".

The moral of the story was explained by one of the pigs:

The big, bad wolf, he learned the rules! You gotta get hot to play real cool!

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!!!!!!

"The hero of Espadair Street"

ie. danny weir aka. weirD and his band frozen gold. not as funny and glib an answer as some of the above, but that's a good book by one of my favorite authors (iain banks) the whole mythos and minutiae of the fictional band is really fleshed out well

also third or fourthing wyld stallyns
