Is it the birthright of every English guy named Mick to be in a band? Or, conversely, is it some sort of English law or regulation requiring that every band have a guy named Mick?
I recently caught a few minutes of a random documentary about a British punk band comprised of middle aged mentally handicapped guys, and even those guys had at least one Mick in the band.
So, name an English band with a guy named Mick in it. I’ll start: Heavy Load (the aforementioned middle aged mentally handicapped punk band).
The Kinks
Foreigner
Pince nez: Half of the original members of Foreigner were American. However, Mick Jones was in Spooky Tooth for a few years.
The Clash
Mott the Hoople
Rolling Stones
Rolling Stones, again
CDM, do Mickeys count? If so, didn’t early T-Rex have a guy named Mickey Finn?
Spiders from Mars
STYLE COUNCIL!
SIMPLY RED!
Bad Company (yes I know it’s the same Mick who was in Mott the Hoople before, but hey it still counts, right?)
Fleetwood Mac
Pink Fairies (with not one but two Micks at one stage; Mick Farren and Mick Wayne)
Mick Wilson from the band Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich.
(The) Sweet – Mick Tucker and Mick Stewart
Bad CO does count as does Mickey Finn.
I hope CDM doesn’t mind me reminding you that, based on the individual Stones suggestions, you can use one Mick at a time for bands with Multiple Micks.
Spinal Tap
Yes, double Micks = Double credit
Procol Harum. Double Micks.
Supergrass – Mick Quinn
Mick Hucknul (sp) – Simply Red
Jethro Tull
Uriah Heep
Fleetwood Mac.
The Mac had already been mentioned. Unless they had a second Mick I wasn’t aware of, Townsperson eh is currently the Last Man Standing.
oops! didn’t see that.
hmmm….i’m stumped for the moment.
The Creation (Mick Thompson).
Mannfred Mann’s Earth Band – Mick Rogers
