Hi,
DiggsUK isn't very imaginative I know, but when I was a kid I was in a kids gang we called the Diggs (can't remember why now, something to do with a character from an old black & white gangster film I think). Nice to meet you all.
Regards

I'm clearly missing the point, but 'The Kinks' as a rock band? A better band than most on the list, but wrong list methinks.

I think 'Drop the Pilot' is a reference/illusion to a famous 19th Century newspaper cartoon in which a Prussian politician (possibly Otto Von Bismark) is walking down the gangplank of a boat whilst a man whom I presume is Kaiser Wilhelm watches. The cartoon illustrates the end of a period of rational guidance and unification by one individual, and the takeover by a 'loose cannon' in comparison. It all ended in WWI of course.
I apologise for any poor spelling or historic innacuracy, but it is 20 years since I took my History 'O' level at school.

Brian & Michael - Matchstalk (sic) men and matchstalk cats and dogs. A hit in England donkeys years ago, a tribute to the work of L.S.Lowrey (a painter).

So now we've got Keane, Rooney, Butt(hole-surfers), Bobby Charltons and Cantona. Can you think of any more?

Possibly not what you are after, but there's always 'Sweaty Betty' by the Macc Lads.

Hard to say, but mine today would be:
Deep Purple (original lineup)
Iggy & Stooges
Jeff & Tim Buckley (together, having made friends)
