RIP Neil Innes, one-time member of The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and the Monty Python creative team, but perhaps his finest hour was as a member of The Rutles. A friend of mine bought one of The Rutles spoof albums claiming that it was as good as listening to the Beatles, and Neil's songwriting is uncanny in catching the Beatles style: Oasis should've invited him to join their band.

(Neil is the Lennon figure on the rooftop clip.)
