This is a thread I've cooked up with the purpose of creating some fun names for a set of characters in a musical concept I'm working on. Basically, members of RPM, I want you to list five musical artists or personalities (from whatever era or genre) and list their real or given name. After a bit (probably 2 - 4 pages), I'm going to close down the thread since this is really just glorified name collecting, but hopefully I'll be able to share some things related to the outcome of this later. With that said, I'll start:

1.) Michael Jackson
2.) Jimi Hendrix
3.) The Notorious B.I.G. (Christopher Wallace)
4.) Mayumi Kojima
5.) Frank Sinatra

The only other rule I'll stick on here is to try not to mention people who have already been posted on someone else's list. Also, if you can't do 5, do 3. If you can't do 3, do 1. Thanks and let's do this!
