Don't know why I've always liked this stupid song: "Do you like Alice Cooper? Do you like Ringo Starr? You like David Bowie and friends In the Royal Albert Hall" |

I guess I should just get this one out of the way since no one has picked it yet. There are just too many included to name. ELO - Roll Over Beethoven Edited by JD - October 21 2021 at 19:11 |

Arjen Anthony Lucassen's song titled Where Pigs Fly has such an ironic part:
Elvis was a vegan Dylan never got stoned Alice was known as Vincent And bowie was just Jones Michael looked like Michael Keith drank only juice Madonna was a virgin And Jimi played the flute |

This song mentions Jimi H., Janis J., Jim M. and B. Jones, who of course are Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Brian Jones. All of them are members of the so-called 27 Club: Edited by BaldFriede - October 21 2021 at 17:10 |

Steven Wilson does it all the time. "Time Flies" lists several bands/albums from the year he was born (1967) music and "Perfect Life" lists "his" (character's) favorite artists in the early 2000s. It's one of the things I find so endearing about Steven's music: He's kind of like a pop/social historian with his little snippets of past and current trends and popular items.
