Coolest Cartoon Rockers: No. 3

The Archies

When They Rocked: 1968-69

The Archies were the Beatles of virtual bands -- innovators whose sugary hooks and catchy choruses spawned a legion of inferior imitators (The Bedrock Rockers, Jabberjaw). The Riverdale High quintet scored several hits in the late '60s, but 'Sugar, Sugar'-- the No. 1 song of 1969 -- remains the band's claim to fame.

Josie & the Pussycats

When They Rocked: 1970-74

The Go-Go's, L7 and every other female rock group in history has Josie & the Pussycats to thank for leading the charge. The feline power trio looked adorable, rocked hard and still had time to solve crimes between gigs. A limited-edition CD of the group's songs was released in 2001, shortly after Rachel Leigh Cook donned Josie's ears for a live-action big-screen adaptation.

i have on question i abosutly love the archies and everything...but i always wondered...are they real in real life?
oh and i will always love them no matter what!

weee, The Archies are real. But the band was just made for the cartoon show from 1968: The Archie Show. The lead singer who sang as Archie was Ron Dante. Then there were these two other girls as Betty and Veronica, a drummer as Jughead, and another guitar player as Reg. If you ever want to buy their CD's, they have a summary about them and they tell you who the singer are.
