      Cold Slither
      Dragos and Drax

      ....there's got to be more. EVERY cartoon does an "evil rockband" episode....

      >also the band from Rock & Rule. Not sure if they were ever named

      The Drats, although it's not mentioned in the film.

        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.
        "When not too many people can see we're all the same
        And because of all their tears,
        Their eyes can't hope to see
        The beauty that surrounds them
        Isn't it a pity".

        - "Isn't It A Pity"
        By George Harrison

          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.
