Similar sounding bands.

Agree that Television Talking Heads is odd, but for me Feelies and The Velvets also seems odd, slow tempos vs hyper fast tempos and too cool for school vs hyper nerd sensibility. Maybe later period Feelies bumps up a bit closer

I'll nominate post 1974 Bob Seager and Bruce Springsteen

Maybe it's just me but doesn't Bono look like Robin Williams?

Yes - Flash

Damned if that Dyson Dc35 vacuum cleaner doesn't look just like a giant pink and silver tone arm.

Beatles-Oasis very obviously;

Alman Brothers -- Greateful Dead -- Steppenwolf -- Doobie Brothers -- ARS -- Kansas -- Don McClean -- Harry Chapin -- Bob Seger and most of the most of the southern rock;

Boston -- John Bon Jovi
