It really depends how far you want to go into this! I am currently doing research for and writing my dissertation for my MA and the question I am posing is "How did the Neolithics Influence Rock 'n'Roll?"

Basically I am looking at as many instances I can find where magalithic iconography has inspired music, whether in the form of sleeve artwork, or lyrics, stage sets, fashions etc. More importantly, after identifying cases I then want to attempt to answer why this connection exists despite the millennia that separate it.

Believe me, once you open this can of worms, the list just goes on and on, and if you then look at poets and artists, well...

The Stone Pages have a few listed, but there are many more:

A few are:

Hawkwind
Ten Years After
Time Machine
Ultravox
David Bacha Band
Runestone
Paul McCartney
Clannad
Van Morrison

Now, most of these connected to this via album cover artwork. A useful site for searching lyrics is:

Don't forget the Queen Elizabeth track Avebury: The Arranged Marriage of Heaven and Earth!

Just did a quick google as I thought the must have a title that fits , sure enough "Third Ear Band " did a non specific "Stone Circle "

Thanks all, any pointers or added information is welcome.
