No, this is not about Roland or Gibson Les Paul.
What I mean is this:
Guitar
John Mitchell, John Petrucci, John Lennon, ...
Steve Hackett, Steve Rothery, Steve(n) Wilson, Steve Howe, Steve Vai, Steve Lukather, Steve Morse, ...
Bass
John Myung, John Jowitt, John Wetton, John Entwistle, John Paul Jones, ...
Singers
Peter Gabriel, Peter Hammill, Peter Nicholls, ...
Drummers
Mick Pointer, Mick Fleetwood, ...
Keyboardists
Tony Kaye, Tony Banks, ...
Rick Wakeman, Rick Wright, Richard West, Richard Barbieri, Rick Davies, ...
You see?
Look at all those Steve's...
What's in a name ;D. Please add Steve Lukather (Toto) to that guitarists list ;) *horns*.
Done

I'm not sure I understand the purpose of the topic, though ???
Bass : John Entwistle
Singers : Peter Nicholls
Does it work ?

There's no purpose, just be amazed! Maybe we can squeeze a conspiracy theory out of it though... I dunno...
Quote from: Bupie on Fri, 2008-04-18, 10:36:53Bass : John Entwistle
Who is he?
Quote from: Bupie on Fri, 2008-04-18, 10:36:53Singers : Peter Nicholls
Doh! Why didn't I think of that one! I knew I was forgetting someone there!

That's where your age shows ... He was the bass player (that, you would have guessed ;D) of the Who. Ok, they are not prog but still have been admitted a few months ago on Progarchives (like tons of non prog bands ::))
"Whooooooooo are you, hou, hou, hou, hou" Those are brilliant lyrics, no ? I'd like to have Nicky's analysis on them ;D I'm joking. Great song anyway.

You're right.

It doesn't care if they aren't prog, as long as they are known to us.
Fleetwood Mac isn't prog either. In fact I've never listened to a Fleetwood Mac album, but...
You get the picture.

To be more accurate, I should have added "amongst other things" after "That" ;D
Paxi, I really dig your lively imagination, but this time I have to disabuse you (look it up) :)
When I look at my lists of fave singers, guitarists etc, it's a random mix of common English names like John, Steve, Mick (short for Michael), and some solitary uncommon English names, as well as a few common German names like Fritz - actually surprisingly not: the Germans are Alex, Oliver, and other international names. (Hm, interesting, actually nobody wants to be called Fritz or Adolf nowadays.) ;D
John is the most common boy's name in the English-speaking world. Everybody and, well, maybe not his brother, but his cousin, is called John there. This is not surprising, as in the Bible, the're two big Johns, and they were both great guys (and not as controversial as Paul). And it's not either surprising that you'l find lots of rock musicians called John; you'l also find lots of jerks called John - but there is only
one Johninblack in this entire universe *horns*
And I agree that The Who were'nt a prog group, but they made one album that was very prog: Who's Next. It's actually become cult among proggies my age and is certainly worth a spin or two *horns*

If you want a conspiracy theory, then it's that prog is changing the world to the better, because it's affecting the creative minds *horns*

But what if Keyboard isn't an instrument at all!? Just a trick?!!!
aaaarrrhhghhghghhh... what is this beneath my fingers?!?!?!?! *runs screaming out, to the shock and befuddlement of my colleagues*
I'm not sure that "befuddlement" is legal here in the UK? :D
Mind you, Max Moseley paid a lot of money for something similiar - and he's a Lawyer! :o

Yes. Quite right! I knew there was more.
Richard Barbieri.
Rick Davies (Supertramp), Richard Tee (Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, James Brown), Rick Enbacker...(oh no...hold on...he's a guitar!), Richard Clayderman, Richard Carpenter (brother of Karen), er..that's all I got...unless you count Richard Allison, keyboard player with Second Nature - a local Oxford band that used to cover Mary Lions's Easter!
Wakeman seems to be a popular last name for keyboardists ;D

Yeah. Supertramp is a very well known band.
I've never heard of the others.
Any other opinions from other members here?
