Tunes like...

Stephanian Anarchy in the UK

What did your distant ancestors boogie to, in between avoiding marrying Henry VIII and not getting the Black Death? Extra kudos for appropriate bands to go with the songs...

From the depths of my memory I've dredged the fact that Kingmaker really did release a song called Queen Jane. How apt that it was a 9-day wonder...
