Filed under: 9:30 Coffee Break

With Kings of Leon performing at the Target Center tonight, we got to thinking: there are a lot of performers with "king" in their name. We'd like to put together a set with some examples, with your help. That's today's topic for the 9:30 Coffee Break.

I was going to request King Missile as well. Unfortunately my two faves, "Detachable Penis" and "Double F**ed by 2 Black Studs," aren't radio appropriate, but "Sensitive Artist" is also primo. A little B.B.King would also be highly appreciated. "Early in the Morning" w/Jim Morrison, perhaps?

David Bowie's first band was the King Bees.

They released a song called "Liza Jane" - the official First Bowie single!

1. "Love and Pride" by (Paul) King. A staple of MTV's "120 Minutes" show in the late '80s. His mullet was magnificent.
2. Elvis, of course
3. "Born Under a Bad Sign" by Albert King
4. King Khan & the Shrines, "Torture"

The Kings This Beat Goes On/Switchin' To Glide.

How about the Kin(g)ks...? "A Well Respected Man" - goes along with the theme perhaps too.

And I second the vote for Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, to add to the list: "Nobody's Baby" , "Answer Me".
