The effect of rock'n'roll records in the political and financial press
Updated 12.08.2009 .
Most of these examples are from the Economist
Stones More Stones still more The Stones kept a-rollin' , Rolling Stones, You can use it twice This one was long due and lot more expected (my lucky guess)
Beatles More Beatles, kinda Another one (Reason magazine) More Beatles Not really Beatles but Rutles Do you remember the film
Chris de Burgh - not really rock but number 1 on 25 countries
Dylan Dylan&Hendrix More Dylan Even more Dylan Same old Dylan twice used Dylan, again Dylan, who else Not a big wonder to this one twice Vintage Dylan Blood on the tracks Dylan It's the third time they are a-Changing
Jerry Lee Lewis That was such good headline that they used it twice (at least) . Or 3 times (I guess, the Crickets never did this)
Fats Waller (well, not really rock'n'roll, but would have been had the term been invented) More Waller
Simon & Garfunkel (this one appeared in Reason) Another instance
William Shakespeare (if rock would have been invented in his days, he would certainly contributed)
The Undertones and of course the late John Peel remembered
Led Zeppelin More Zep Well, almost Zep
Elvis Costello (Reason magazine)
Platters (well, 25 years after the first recording) A good title get reused
Woody Herman (not rock as such, but if Stairway to Heaven got accepted on this page)
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (Incredibly naive lyrics,but if Stairway to Heaven got accepted on this page)
Chris de Burgh (this one is only here for the title, certainly not for the music)
Thunderclap Newman (do not expect any others, as this was one their only hit and they did not make more than 3 singles, anyway)
Not music, but does this rock (Compared to you know what)
Long John Baldry (Ok, Three Dog Man had one with this title, too)
Procol Harum (well, almost)
Frank Zappa (only once, yet. This on seen in Reason magazine)
McKinley Morganfield (What, you don't know who he was???)
Ash (How many others? Maybe
MC5 didnīt record one with this title, but I am sure they at least thought of this
Today, you just burn your taste buds (A commercial link, you do not see many of them on at this site)
Ok, this one is not music or rock as the Douglas Adams and Shakespeare ones. This is just to remind of a great book and great film
Charles Dickens was rock star of his day
This one is music but the film is really the rock item (still, great music, too)
Boris Pickett & The Crypt Kickers This must be their only record
The Who - What only one, yet
Mel Brooks (certainly has rock credibility)
Tommy Steele Well, Guy Mitchell did also have a nuber one hit with the same tune
Yes, the first one by the Ventures
