The Stereophonics were originally called "Tragic Love Company" in honour of their favourite bands: The Tragically Hip, Mother Love Bone and Bad Company.
I think that the fandom goes both ways; At a Stereophonics show in Toronto a few years ago, members of The Hip were present.

Quote:Speaking of the Stereophonics, the band finally played for members of its much-reported favourite Canadian band, the Tragically Hip. Drummer Johnny Fay and bassist Gord Sinclair were ushered up to the balcony at the super-packed Opera House on Friday night, where they were treated to a few riffs of "New Orleans Is Sinking" at the set's end. Afterward, the pair joined some Stereophonic band members for drinks at Teatro on College until the wee hours (while others visited an S/M-themed after-party with members of Toronto's Superhalo). As for the Canada-loving Welshmen, they'll be taking a break from North America this summer to work on a new album, due next February.
