> 1. This is the first reliable looking one that comes up when you google “John scientist” so I think he will be the most popular.

You mean, he was a scientist in addition to being a bass player for the Kinks?

Eep I forgot #4!! My abject apologies - I haven’t played this much - is adding an accidentally ommited answer permitted? if so, here’s my updated list:

1. John Wayne
2. John Lennon
3. John McCain
4. Jonas Salk
5. Elton John
6. Crapper
7. Johnny B Goode
8. Long John Silver
9. Diddle, Diddle, Dumpling and John
10. You don’t know Jack

Since Jonas is the Swedish form of John, is this an acceptable answer?
