Jody Stephens (Big Star) Keith Moon Ringo John McIntyre (Tortoise/The Sea and Cake) John Bonham

Okay, maybe just The Byrds and The Desert Rose Band. (Country charts, of course.)

Chris Hillman: The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Desert Rose Band

Ray Davies Nick Lowe Harry Nilsson Jim Ford Hank Williams Jeff Mangum Toots Hibbard Paul Westerberg Gram Parsons John Cale Smokey Robinson Andy Partridge Colin Moulding Willie Nelson Shane MacGowan Jarvis Cocker Nick Cave Nick Drake Richard Thompson Stephin Merritt

Definitely.

Why not? Let's continue along with the theme of the day. Bob Andrews (Brinsley Schwarz/The Rumour) Garth Hudson Steve Nieve (The Attractions) Jimmy Smith Rod Argent (The Zombies/Argent) George Martin
