Franz Ferdinand, Louis XIV...

I don't know...I'm not into this trend. It seems too smug. If there's a band called King Leopold II on the cover of NME next month I swear I'll go nuts.

Apparently there was one week back in, like '84 or something, where Prince, Princess, Queen and King all had singles in the top 40.

King were pretty bad, I recall. Big hair and spray-painted docs were their thing.

FRANZ FERDINAND WAS NOT A ROYAL

A royal family is the extended family of a monarch. Generally, the head of a royal family is a king or queen regnant. The term "imperial family" more appropriately describes the extended family of an emperor or empress regnant, while the terms "ducal family" or "princely family" are more appropriate in reference to the relatives of a reigning duke, grand duke, or prince. Finally, it is proper to refer to the extended relations of a deposed monarch and his or her descendants as a royal family.

Franz Ferdinand was the heir to the Imperial throne of Austria and the royal throne of Hungary hence he was a royal.

King Swamp, released a couple of albums in 1989-1990, now found in every neighborhood cutoff bin.

King's "Love and Pride" was everywhere (inescapable and irritating) in 1984.

Lest we forget, there's also the one-hit wonder Napoleon XIV ("They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha-Haa!").

Um, King Crimson was not a royal either. Unless you refer to him as "His Majesty: SATAN."
