Punk Floyd
Formed after the end of the Rutles, Dirk McQuickley (Eric Idle) formed the Punk Rock band, Punk Floyd. His wife Martini, who didn’t sing, joined him; not there was a lot of time for her do so if she was so inclined. The punk genre landed to much shorter songs, though his first single from the three-minute debut album (White Dopes on Punk) lasted as long as it took to say the title.
Like the Rutles, Punk Floyd had an extensive fictional discography and for something that appeared so briefly in the Rutles documentary, the backstory was so extensive. That alone makes us seriously consider them.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
All You Need is Cash (1978)
Actors:
Eric Idle (Dirk McQuickly, Bass, Lead Vocals)
Bianca Jagger (Martini McQuickley, Keyboards)
(Denny Gilmour, Guitar and Backing Vocals)
(Joey Mason, Drums)
Songs you might remember:
Listen to the Noise That the Small Girls Make While They Participate in Various Primitive Games For Their Own Amusement
Why you should vote for them:
Based on the fictional Discography, they helped invent Punk as “White Doped on Punk” was released in 1970.
Why you should not vote for them:
Their “ultimate” album, Comatose, was only ten minutes long.
