6. The Fast Food Rockers – The novelty pop act, obsessed with all kinds of nasty food high in saturated fat (great example to set to kids huh?!), lasted a little more than a year in the music business. Ha! Their breakthrough single 'The Fast Food Song', complete with the insightful lyrics “McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut”, astoundingly reached number two in the UK singles chart but mercifully their subsequent album 'It's Never Easy Being Cheesy' atomic bombed. Somewhat ironically, all three members of the group are probably serving Big Macs as you read this. Good riddance.

- I take it you're not counting rock bands. When you make that list, I'd better see ICP, Limp Bizkit, Creed, Nickelback, Warrant, 30 Seconds to Mars, and anything Oasis produced after 1995. Although this list still should've included Michael Bolton, Kenny G, and Hall and Oates.
- Rob & Fab for MilliVanilli were actually perfect for their roles. And the musicians behind the 'act' produced some brilliant pop ditties. Not sure they should be on your list.
- Oops, Milli Vanilli guy killed himself.

- No K-Fed? Where's She Wants Revenge? They're the Pussycat Dolls of the post-punk genre (let's take Interpol, throw a faux goth sheen over it, dumb down the lyrics to the delight of middle schoolers, use Joy Division sounding song titles to cover it up).
