Ok, this was a crazy idea I just had... it may work, it may not work.

Post photos of rock and rollers, side-by-side, who could be argued were separated at birth. Likenesses need not be spitting images, but fairly similar in some way. My first example below will give a good idea of what should be deemed acceptable:

I've always thought that Brian May of Queen and Mike Campbell of The Heartbreakers shared a similar likeness (maybe it was just the hair?).

Ok... so I'm bending the rules now and straying from the "Rocker" category! At least I've connected it with "birds". :wink2:

I agree with instant karla that Brian Ray has the look of Pete Noone of Herman's Hermits about him!
