    No…

    I actually thought this would be too easy!

    But the connection is a person.

    They've all shagged Madonna, apart from the Manics who didn't?

    Ok, I'll spoil the fun and say Tony Curran.

    Given how right I am about this I'll think of a new riddle soon.

    Garth Brooks.

    He has covered The Eagles. He has played on stage with Don McLean and Billy Joel. He probably owns a Manics record.

    No-one? And I was worried it was too easy!

    The connection is a dead film star.

    James Dean is the obvious Manics connection. No idea how the others would fit in.

    Correct!

    The others are references in songs.

    Eagles - James Dean (song)
    Don McLean - "in a coat he borrowed from James Dean" (American Pie, a line not in the Madonna cover)
    Billy Joel - "Einstein, James Dean, Brooklyn's got a winning team" (We Didn't Start The Fire)

    and

    Madonna - "You're James Dean driving in your fast car" (Superstar)

    Your turn :).

    I thought they were all pretty well-known… apart from the Madonna one, which wasn't in the original list.

    Ah well. Maybe I just have a weird music collection ;).

    Feck. I'm no good at these things.

    Okay, this is easy and anyone who has followed my posts with intense interest over the years on MR and here will get it straight away:

    Me
    Brad Pitt
    Christina Aguilera
    Keith Richards

    Plus, extra bonus point for the first person to say I'm the good looking one in that group.
