Am I over thinking this?

I tried taking a few approaches but I think I'm over thinking it. Do I need a function?

groups.py 
musical_groups = [
    ["Ad Rock", "MCA", "Mike D."],
    ["John Lennon", "Paul McCartney", "Ringo Starr", "George Harrison"],
    ["Salt", "Peppa", "Spinderella"],
    ["Rivers Cuomo", "Patrick Wilson", "Brian Bell", "Scott Shriner"],
    ["Chuck D.", "Flavor Flav", "Professor Griff", "Khari Winn", "DJ Lord"],
    ["Axl Rose", "Slash", "Duff McKagan", "Steven Adler"],
    ["Run", "DMC", "Jam Master Jay"],
]

musical_group[0] = "Band1"
musical_group[1] = "Band2"
musical_group[2] = "Band3"
musical_group[3] = "Band4"
musical_group[4] = "Band5"
musical_group[5] = "Band6"
musical_group[6] = "Band7"

for musical_group in musical_groups
    print("musical_group" + ",")

Heres a hint without the full solution:

use a double for loop and make the variable naming understandable. For Example:

for group in musical_groups: for members in group: print(members_name())

of course, members_name() is a made up function but that might help you, I did this challenge days ago and dont remember the exact probblem but I know I used something of the such! (I also dont know how to add code to comments properly so hopefully it's clear and easy to read.

You'll probably want to use the "join" function (method).

Also, you won't want to replace the elements of the "musical_group" array. And never put quotes around a variable name if you want to access what it contains.
