    Proclaimers all born in 1962.

      I'm tempted to say Ash given the title of their debut album, but I can't verify it and it could be a QI klaxon answer.

        The clustering of three of those birth dates is particularly pleasing. Wonder if the other one resented them for it.

          Costly week if they were giving each other birthday presents.

            Not if you include Charlotte Hatherley (born 1979).

              Should have qualified that with "the line up at the time", as she joined after that album.

                Rick McMurray appears to be a couple of years older than the other two

                  ZZ Top.

                  Dusty Hill 19th May 1949, Frank Beard 11th June 1949 and Billy Gibbons 16th December 1949.

                    Green Day - Billie Jo Armstrong (17 February 1972), Mike Dirnt (4 May 1972) and Tré Cool (9 December 1972).

                    It is a lot harder than you'd think - even bands which formed at school, because school years run September-August, and the groups' habit of roping in a younger or older friend or relative to complete the line up. In fact, Green Day's original drummer was born in 1969, and it was his replacement (Cool) who completed the set.

                      If Phil Collins (30/01/51) had been born one month earlier he would have joined Banks, Rutherford, Gabriel and Hackett as 1950 babies and quite probably secured victory for Genesis in this category.

                        I thought U2 might be, given that they met in school, but Bono and Adam were born in 1960 with the Edge and Larry born in 1961.

                          So, if he'd never formed ZZ Top, Billy would've been a shoo-in for Brotherhood of Man then.

                                      I thought The Supremes might qualify, but while Mary Wilson and Diane Ross were born in 1944, Florence Ballard was born in 1943. I blame Flo's parents.

                                        Flo set up the group IIRC so it makes sense that she was the eldest.

                                            Tears For Fears.

                                            Well, the two founder/main members, anyway.

                                                All of Gorillaz were 'born' in 1998.

                                                  Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmidt, Don Felder and Bernie Leadon were all born in 1947, but I have no idea if there was ever a point in the convoluted history of The Eagles where they were the only band members. I suspect that Glenn Frey (1948) might be the fly in the ointment here.
