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

We've had the Jam and Down at Tube Station twice on this thread, so it is time for Love me Two Times..

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.

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!
Salute K

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..
