We came across a fun little article in the NME online today about ‘bands as literary figures’. To celebrate Burns Night a few months ago, they published this list that merges together bands with famous writers. Here is a list of some that they came up with:

Stephen Kings Of Leon
Martin A-Missy Elliott
Charles Baudel-Air
James Ellroyksopp
TS Elliott Smith
Charles Bukowskid Row
JK Rowling Stones
Lewis Carroll King
Brett Easton Elvis

And some other clever ones that appear in their comments section:

Virginia Wolf Parade
Nick Drake Hornby
Ray Charles Dickens
James Joyce Division
Sufjan Wallace Stevens
Lilly Allen Ginsberg
Peter Bjorn and John Milton

Can anyone think of any good YBP/Non-YBP related bands as literary figures?
