Jack White(out) of the White Stripes?
Itza Gonner of Chicory Tipp-ex?
Either one out of Erasure?
PS The Jagger/You're So Vain question was answered back on page 1 with the question about who the song was directed at.

Blue, I'm almost certain that was thingy Nesmith from the Monkees. His Christian name will come to me in a minute.

Yay!
Bugger, now I need to think of a question. Okay...
According to George Martin, George Harrison's Taxman was inspired by which TV show theme tune?

Aren't you a bit young for that? God knows. Panorama? The 9 O'Clock News? Tax Issues Explained For Family Viewers?

The tune is nothing like it, but the only theme I could think of if considering the title of the song, is Batman.

Good god... now that is a surprise!
Ok, next up... a nice easy one because it is early and my brain is yet to fire up. Which guitar legend featured on Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man" and "Goo Goo Barabajaggle"?

Oh I know! but I saw you were online and...
Sadly I have no idea who that guitarist was, and I can't call the guitar part of HURDY GURDY MAN to mind. Eric Clapton?

Actually, Jimmy Page played on "Hurdy Gurdy Man" and Jeff Beck played on the "Goo Goo" song......

Oops... that'll teach me not to use Google
It appears that you may be right, although there does appear to be a lot of doubt over who it really was that played the solo on Hurdy Gurdy Man. There are reports that it was Jeff Beck and there are reports that it was Jimmy Page... and just to muddy the waters, there are reports that Jimmy Page cannot remember playing on it (lending credence to the thought that it was Jeff Beck).
I guess that in light of the phrasing of the question and in light of the fact that too much doubt exists over who it really was, I will have to award two correct answers... meaning that Mike Boom also scores a point.
As for the next question, shall we say first in best dressed?
My apologies.
