15 Greatest Fictional Bands Of All Time
7. The Archies (from The Archie Show)
If you're too young to remember The Archie Show (and if you're reading this without the aid of bifocals then that could very well be the case), it was a Saturday morning cartoon series based on Archie comics. The show followed the zany misadventures of five teenagers from Riverdale High School, and was over in a tidy thirty minutes.
Each episode contained a "dance of the week" segment that featured a new song performed by The Archies. (Named because Archie was the frontman and everyone had damn well better know that straight out of the gate.)
Their most well-known song from the show, "Sugar, Sugar", even reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1969. That's a mighty impressive feat for a fictional band.
Best Song: "Get on the Line"
A simple, syrupy pop song with just a hint of psychedelic flair.
