That was the singer from New Order and Johnny Marr from The Smiths, although I think the PSB singer sang in a few songs.

Got that right.
(Marco Mendoza - Bass (Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy)) Some one must of carried on the Thin Lizzy name after Phil died :(

The other ones mentioned by ethebubbeth sound good though.
