New Kids On The Block.

not a real band, as none of them played any instruments.

[Orang Utan]

Hmm, neither did a lot of classic pop bands (not that NKOTB are classic) - I don't think not playing an instrument means you're not a band.

[Loz]

ok, then

The Monkees - they're definitely an imaginary band
