I discovered only a few weeks ago that Ray Davies from The Kinks is also now a knight.

I believe this is the current list of knighted pop/rock stars:


Ray Davies
Bob Geldof
Mick Jagger
Elton John
Tom Jones
Paul McCartney
Van Morrison
Cliff Richard
Ringo Starr
Rod Stewart
 
Barry Gibb also knighted in the same New Year's Honours with Ringo.

A music snob and cynic’s view of those current knighthoods:

Tom Jones - Knighted for falling asleep in a solarium
Bob Geldof- knighted for playing a guitar back to front
Cliff Richard - knighted for stealing lyrics from...... Jesus Christ and putting them to a New Years song. And falling sleep in a solarium
Ringo Starr - well we gave it to the other 1 that’s still alive
Rod Stewart - for Bryan adams sounding a lot like you
Van Morrison - we don’t really know
Elton John - for covering your own song when our black sheep died in a car crash
Paul McCartney - you were in the Beatles. And you weren’t the drummer. You deserve one.
Ray Davies - you’ve written arguably the greatest British song of all time. You deserve it.

I presume one is referring to Waterloo Sunset?
