[Monsterama2000]

Citizen Dick from the movie Singles.

[Mikey]

Not sure if this counts but techically it should ... The Traveling Wilburys

[Brazoo]

Wyckyd Sceptre - another great Mr. Show fake band

[Brazoo]

The Five Heartbeats...from the movie The Five Heartbeats. The movie was loosely based on the group The Dells...and there are a lot of similarities to The Temptations. Great movie if you haven't seen it yet.

Along those lines I thought "Grace of my Heart" was a really underrated indie movie that went through a fictionalized history of modern pop music with characters loosely based on Carol King and Brian Wilson.

Grace of My Heart (1996) - IMDb

"Dreamgirls" is another recent one in that vein using the Supremes for their inspiration.

"Almost Famous" too - kinda based on the The Allman Brothers from what I recall.

[Blue Meanie]

The Five Heartbeats...from the movie The Five Heartbeats. The movie was loosely based on the group The Dells...and there are a lot of similarities to The Temptations. Great movie if you haven't seen it yet.
