Do Your Favourite Rock/Pop Musicians Have a Planet Named After Them?

Here is a listing for all the minor planets which have been named after contemporary popular musicians. As the site explains, "Classical composers have been honored with minor planets since the early 20th century, but contemporary musicians have been overlooked. In the past few years, this imbalance between classical and contemporary musicians has been addressed by a new generation of astronomers who wish to acknowledge the music that has influenced them" Some of the musicians honoured include Enya, Jerry Garcia, John Lennon, the Rolling Stones, Carlos Santana, and Frank Zappa. There are links to articles about each of the minor planets. Via Vitamin Q.
