The Rock and Roll Connect Wall of Fame

Question

UPDATE: It looks like no takers yet, so let's open this up to any interested solver. Good luck!

A recent Connect Wall I wrote seemed to attract some interest from newer solvers, so I'm putting together a few of these puzzles to provide a gentler introduction to this puzzle type. EXPERIENCED SOLVERS: please let some of our newer contributors have a crack at this one first!

A Connect Wall is a set of sixteen words/proper nouns/phrases which can be broken into four groups of four related items, where the relationship can be described by another word/proper noun/phrase. The four items defining the relations are themselves related, and that relation is defined by a single word/proper noun/phrase as well. Stiv's excellent post provides more information about these puzzles.

This puzzle has the special theme that all sixteen "words" are the names of rock and roll bands (of one shape or another) from the 1960s and 1970s. The final entry linking the four groups is also a rock and roll band from the 1960s and/or 1970s. Good luck!

HINT:

I was searching for a hint, but ended up on YouTube watching Mojo Nixon's "Don Henley Must Die", and I love the line "Don Henley must die, don't let him get back together with Glenn Frey". I wondered if Joe Walsh, Randy Meisner and Don Felder felt left out. I guess that's not much of a hint. Or is it?

HINT:

You can be twice as confident as normal that Led Zeppelin is in its group, which also contains The Lovin' Spoonful.

HINT:

Remember, I (naively) thought this one would be pretty straightforward for beginners. If you get one group, getting these others should be easy.

Answer 1

The four groups are:

Group 1: Member called JOHN
The Beatles (John Lennon)
Creedence Clearwater Revival (John Fogerty)
Led Zeppelin (John Paul Jones & John Bonham)
The Lovin' Spoonful (John Sebastian)

Group 2: Member called KEITH
The B-52's (Keith Strickland)
Emerson, Lake & Palmer (Keith Emerson)
The Rolling Stones (Keith Richards)
The Yardbirds (Keith Relf)

Group 3: Member called PETER
Camel (Peter Bardens)
Genesis (Peter Gabriel)
Herman's Hermits (Peter Noone)
Kiss (Peter Criss)

Group 4: Member called ROGER
The Byrds (Roger McGuinn)
Deep Purple (Roger Glover)
Pink Floyd (Roger Waters)
Queen (Roger Taylor)

The link between these four connections is:

THE WHO - another Rock and Roll band of the same era, with members JOHN Entwistle, KEITH Moon, PETE(R) Townshend and ROGER Daltrey!
