1 Du Jour in Josie and the Pussycats (2001)
This pre-fab boy band is so clueless, they have no idea what their song "Backdoor Lover" is really about. 14 52
2 PoP! in Music and Lyrics (2007)
Hugh Grant offends ears aplenty as the less talented half of a Wham-like pop band forced to hire Drew Barrymore to get him back on track. 7 49
3 Citizen Dick in Singles (1992)
Support from members of the real grunge community can't make Matt Dillon's wannabe band any less lame. 6 44
4 The Mystery in Satisfaction (1988)
Justine Bateman and Julia Roberts strive for greatness, but are derailed by poor playing and cliched lyrics. 6 36
5 Sadie's band in Georgia (1995)
Not even punk legend John Doe can salvage anything remotely listenable from Jennifer Jason Leigh's tortured wails. 5 27
6 Hey That's My Bike in Reality Bites (1994)
Ethan Hawke's somewhat appealing vocals aren't enough to save his fake-hipster band in this slacker hit. 4 42
7 Wyld Stallyns in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989)
Saving the universe with music doesn't require actual talent, as Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) learn. 1 59
8 Ranchbone in Tapeheads (1988)
Popular ska band Fishbone is reconfigured as a minor country-western act in this cult classic from Monkee Michael Nesmith. 0 30
9 The Fabulous Stains in Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains (1981)
Young Diane Lane is the band's singing cutie, but that none of its members can actually play trumps her charm. 0 30
10 The Barbusters in Light of Day (1987)
Cute prep Michael J. Fox is way out of his depth as a gritty would-be rocker, as is his bandmate Joan Jett. -2 34
11 Spinal Tap in This Is Spinal Tap (1984)
Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, and Christopher Guest take things to eleven as the titular, laughably horrible heavy-metal band. -8 66
