The Losers (Howard Stern)

"The Losers" is a band made up of The Howard Stern Show cast members. The band was formed in 1997 when the show staff started playing with instruments that Green Day had brought to the studio prior to their own performance. The band was named after their original drummer Scott the Engineer, who the other members of the show staff consider a loser. The band has taken on various celebrity bands in battle of the bands competitions over the years. The premise behind the band is that a band made up of non-musicians can beat any celebrity-fronted band put in front of them.

List of battles:

Every time The Losers battled a band, three judges were chosen by a third party and were comprised of people in the record industry. Howard and The Losers went first, the challengers second and all judging was done at the end. All were unanimous in The Losers' favor except for when Chris Jericho's band Fozzy performed "To Kill a Stranger" from their 2002 album, "Happenstance". One judge voted for Fozzy.

Although the lineup has changed over the years, two members have always been in the band:
