Tenacious D

Easily the greatest rock band ever -- at least according to members and actors Kyle Gass and Jack Black -- the Dio-loving acoustic metal/comedy duo Tenacious D is an unlikely success story. The sheer charisma, humor, and inspired songwriting of Black and Gass (aka JB, Jables, KG, and Kage, among other aliases) took them from L.A.'s underground comedy scene in the early '90s to their acclaimed series on HBO, a major-label album deal, and a feature film. Their eponymous 2001 debut became a cult hit, eventually going platinum, with subsequent efforts The Pick of Destiny (2006), Rise of the Fenix (2012), and Post-Apocalypto (2018) continuing to refine the duo's absurdist comedy rock. The D remained active in the 2020s, issuing a string of one-off singles, including choice covers of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" and Britney Spears' '"...Baby One More Time."
