The Periodic Table of Rock
Posted by Uncle Wheaty on 28 November 2011 - 9:38pm.
Bill Haley - Hydrogen. The basis of the art.
AC/DC - Carbon. The underpinning of all rock and such life forms.
The Beatles - Oxygen. Bringing an ailing life form back to life in the early years.
Judas Priest - Osmium. The most heavy metal.
Cliff Richard - Aluminium. Very durable. Will never rust.
Over to the chemists amongst us for more suggestions.
