Last year, the UK Royal Mint introduced a new series of Commemorative £5 Coins called Music Legends.
The first in the series was Queen, then Elton John and David Bowie. And today a £5 coin featuring The Who was issued.
Wouldn't it be fitting if next year, The Hollies would be featured to celebrate their 60 years anniversary.
Can't see it happening though - only wishful thinking!

Wow. No Beatles? Oh right, the 60s aren't cool anymore. The fans are too old. It's all about the 70s...the decade I spent as a teen thinking everything sucked compared to the 60s.  Somehow I remember Queen being just another band among many back in the day. I haven't changed my mind, but apparently everybody else around me did. I think I'll remain a rebel. |

From what I’ve read on other music boards that seems to be a fairly common sentiment in North America, but apparently in the rest of the world they only got bigger and more revered. By the way saw just the other day that the UK postal service is issuing a set of Paul McCartney stamps with some nifty packaging, so not totally forgotten.  Mark |

Mark Oh trust me, I'm surrounded by Queen fans in Canada too. I don't deny their talent, but sometimes less is more, I guess. |
