If you asked the man on the street to name some of the top classic rock bands of the past few decades AC/DC, Whitesnake, Bon Jovi and the other usual suspects would more than likely emerge. |  |

A 30-foot effigy of glamour model Katie Price is to be set alight on Saturday by a Kent bonfire society.
The guy depicts the model - also known as Jordan - holding likenesses of the heads of her ex-husband Peter Andre and current boyfriend Alex Reid.
Price split from Andre in May this year, with their divorce finalised in September. The couple have both featured heavily in celebrity magazines and tabloid newspapers since the break-up.
The Edenbridge Bonfire Society will torch the effigy on Saturday, having decided not to build a guy of British National Party leader Nick Griffin as to do so would have been "too political".
"We chose Katie because we needed a guy for this year and there wasn't really anybody in the frame," the society's co-ordinator Charles Laver told the BBC.
"I hope she takes it in good faith. We are only doing this for the fun of it. We are not doing it because we don't like the lady or anything like that."
He continued: "We didn't want to do Nick Griffin because we felt he had received too much publicity already.
"Also, we are not a political organisation, we do this just for the fun of it and we didn't want to aggravate people too much by choosing someone like Nick.
"I'm pleased with the result and I'm sure others will be too."
The society burnt effigies of Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand last year and previous guys have included Saddam Hussein, Cherie Blair and John McCririck.
