Led Zeppelin: Originally were to be "The New Yardbirds", resurrected
by Jimmy Page. Who connection: John Entwistle and Keith Moon were
asked to be a part of this band, and were considering it. The name
"Led Zeppelin" came from a joke by one of them (Keith?) that "This
will go over like a lead zeppelin". Clearly an English band.

Jethro Tull: From the north of England, they performed under a
number of names. Originally they were so bad, they had to change
names to get each new gig. After one gig using the name Jethro Tull
(the name supplied by a manager without consulting the group; Jethro
Tull was a 17th century agriculturist who invented the seed drill),
they got asked back again, and were now stuck with the name. A very
English band, but the current drummer, Doane Perry, is from the US.
Who connection: They both played in the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll
Circus, at the Isle of Wight, and they shared the bill at
Tanglewood.
