New Order had a song on the Trainspotting soundtrack. So did Pulp.

The Doors took their name from a book "The Doors Of Perception" by Aldous Huxley. The Fall took their name from a novel "The Fall" by Albert Camus.

Two for the price of one:

Well if we're going all Russian (I'm guessing that they took their name from the Decembrists) then we've got a rich seam, Prokofiev? Mussorgsky? Shostakovich?

Nah!

Well, to be honest, I was being rather pedantic with that last post!

The reasoning behind the links has on occasion been rather slap-dash, or, annoying!

Russians - great!

I know, it's only for fun, but fun without rules = bouncy castle madness and crap music!

Billy Joel did Piano Man. And what is Kyle Landry if not a piano man?

Rachmaninov was a piano man too, and a Russian, to boot.
Here's the adagio from his Piano concerto #2

All together now : "When I was young, I never needed anyone ..."

Steering this thread away before it gets lost in a Siberian Gulag, here is a jazz version of some Rachmaninov..

Sarcasm perchance? There's no smiley for sarcasm, not sure what a sarcastic smiley would look like?

Anyway, here's my offering, following the rules, good for a bounce, and definitely not crap.....
