On the way back from lunch I remarked to a colleague that if Alex Chilton ever wanted some chocolate he might enjoy a Big Star Bar. That's now spawned the following list from my co-workers and I.

Almond Joy Division

Desmond Double Decker

30 Seconds From Mars Bar

Emerson, Flake and Palmer

Topic Shakur

Big Star Bar

Credence Clearwater Revels

Kit Kat Power

Twirl Haggard

Toblerone Ones

Chocolate Orange Juice

The Quality Streets

The Snicker Pimps

Aerosmith

Everything But the Twirl

Cadbury's Fuck Buttons

The Kingston Trio

Caramel & Kim

Picnic Kershaw

Wispa Goldfrapp

Turkish Dee Lite

Any additions?

Members of the Massive may enjoy this short film about the iconic opening titles to the BBC Arena series, inspired by their recent show on Brian Eno.

I've written a bit more about it on the BBC Music blog

I've just listened to the new podcast featuring Mark Hagen and enjoyed the rock'n'roll museums tangent.

In Nashville last year I went to Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum (http://www.musicianshalloffame.com/) which is a wonderful place dedicated to session muscians and backing bands.

The oddest exhibit was Luther Perkins' knitting (http://www.flickr.com/photos/nigelsmith99/2363517243/in/set-721576042611...). Apparently the only way the guitarist could put up with being cooped up with Johnny Cash on the road was by getting out the needles and wool.

Another great item in the more lavish Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum (http://www.countrymusichalloffame.org/)was this piece of taxidermy owned by Hank Williams - http://www.flickr.com/photos/nigelsmith99/2385606868/in/set-721576042611....

My vote is for Elvis Costello. I think he's on tributes to Gram Parsons, The Grateful Dead, Joni Mitchell, June Carter Cash, Van Morrison, Paul Simon - even George Gerswhin. I suspect he's been on others that you know.

Does any other artist love paring tribute this much?

Yesterday on my blog, Carnival Saloon, I posted Ann Mason's 'You Can't Love Me (In The Midnight Hour)' - it's a great answer song in response to Wilson Pickett's 'In The Midnight Hour'.

You can hear both tracks here:

This has got me thinking about other answer songs. I know that 'It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels' by Kitty Wells is a response to Hank Thompson's 'The Wild Side of Life'. Also on the wedding edition of Theme Time Radio Hour Bob Dylan played Etta James's 'Stop the Wedding' back to back with 'Don't Stop the Wedding' by Ann Cole which I liked very much.

So, do you have any suggestions of other great answer songs?
