We’re real-life fans of all of these made-up bands but which comes out on top?

Let the rock battle begin.

For their blatantly Springsteen-ian sound (not to mention wardrobe) they lose all credibility.

And now Im one of them!

We admit that they are technically musically competent, but we cant rank Steel Dragon any higher.

Their music, however, has some room for improvement.

Dont give up (or start putting out) just because you lost the battle.

Josie and the Pussycats are the new DuJour!

As a band that never leaves the garage, however, they lose the battle.

The Wonders (a.k.a.

The One-ders)

From the movie:That Thing You Do!

a rock & roll show director asks School of Rock frontman/teacher Dewey Finn (Jack Black).

The band loses some points because, yes, the whole childrens-private-school thing is pretty gimmicky.

But unfortunately and perhaps more to the point theyre also quite awful.
