Following the previous post's theme of bands with the word 'sister' in their name, what do we get if we look up bands with 'brother' in their name? Lots and lots and lots, far outnumbering the sisters. And, whereas several bands with 'sister' in the name were nevertheless lacking any female members, it is also rare to find a band of 'brothers' that has any female members. 

 

The use of 'brothers' appears to be more literally taken, too, with far more actual 'brothers' than there were actual 'sisters.' The Righteous Brothers, The Everly Brothers, The Brothers Johnson, The Allman Brothers, The Isley Brothers, The Neville Brothers, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Chemical Brothers, and who can forget The Doobie Brothers? 

There are not as many bands from the 80's using the word, though. The Blues Brothers, The Pontiac Brothers, and The LeRoi Brothers come to mind, and it is true that The Jungle Brothers put out their first record in the 80's. But wait, we're forgetting Bros! 

To be fair, most of the civilized world has forgotten Bros, but let's see if our readers remember anything about them. At the heart of the group were an actual pair of twin brothers, their manager had also managed The Pet Shop Boys, and they scored eleven Top 40 hits in their native U.K. before virtually disappearing from sight. Their first big hit was released in 1987, it reached #2 in England and Switzerland and #1 in Ireland. It was also their only entry in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, stalling at #83 (to be fair, they did a little better on the dance charts). Considering the band's eventual fate, you gotta love the title of the song. What was it?
