Exchange - Massive Attack
Attention to me - The Nolans
Both groups changed their names at one point in their career : Massive Attack changed to Massive during the Gulf War and the Nolan Sisters changed their name and fortunes by adopting the Nolans as their new moniker.
Attention To Me - The Nolans Mary Ann - Black Lace
In 1979, The Nolans had a failed UK Eurovision entry entitled "Harry, My Honolulu lover". Great song though I'm sure that was, it was the aforementioned Black Lace who ended up representing the country, finishing 7th with Mary Ann.
Connection: 'Ode To Billie Joe' is ranked 412th on Rolling Stone's list of "the 500 Greatest Songs of all Time", while 'Like A Rolling Stone' is ranked number one.
Connection: Astronomy Domine was the title track on Pink Floyds debut album, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, while Rock 'n' Roll Star is title track on Oasis debut album Definitely Maybe.
