Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
Sorry, I wasn't aware a wiki entry was required. I knew there was web stuff available since I had seen it before. The linked reference is a very good source. A quick skim revealed several ways out of Roy Hill obscurity to more mainstream artists.
"I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow
"I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it." - Mark Twain
Rules ammended to better reflect the PURPOSE of the rules - now what is required is either a Wikipedia entry, or an equivalent, informative, easily found article on the web on the artist/band, other than the official site of the band/artist, or site maintained by the band artist (for example, myspace).
So the challenge is on:
To find the link between
Roy Hill
and
The Sex Pistols.
Only the most intelligent, handsome/beautiful denizens of apolyton may join the game :)
George Harrison played Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven,"
The Sex Pistols covered "Johnny B. Goode" by Chuck Berry
I never know their names, But i smile just the same
New faces...Strange places,
Most everything i see, Becomes a blur to me
-Grandaddy, "The Final Push to the Sum"

You beat me to it - up to you to chose the artists/bands for the next round.
Just for the sake of interest, here's the path I found:
1. Roy Hill worked with former Anthony Philips on some songs, including "Tears ON The Ballroom Floor" (no video)
2. Anthony Philips was one of the founding members band Genesis, playing alongside Peter Gabriel
3. Peter Gabriel covered Strawberry Fields Forever by the Beatles (no video)
4. The Beatless song "Help!" was covered by Bananarama:
and finally....
5. Bananarama also covered "No Feelings", a Sex Pistols original. (unofficial video using the song, embedding disabled, so have to make do with a link):
"I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow
"I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it." - Mark Twain
From Anal **** to PJ harvey - exactly 6 degrees of separation:
1. Seth Putnam of Anal **** guested on Pantera's "The Great Southern Trendkill"
2. Pantera covers Black Sabbath's "Planet Caravan":
3. Black Sabbath's "Hand of Doom" is covered by Slayer. (No video available)
4. Tori amos covers Slayers "Raining Blood":
5. Tori Amos plays the harpsichord in a live version of "Unravel" with Björk:
6. And finally... Björk sings the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" as a duet with PJ Harvey:
Whew.... now that was HARD!
So, the next artist to start with:
Fiona Apple
And please be a tiny bit more gentle this time around.
though the link from 2 to 3 is a little weak. I'm not entirely sure of all the rules. Impressive though.
With collaberations and covers you should be able to find a link between any 2 bands.
Mike Patton formerly of Faith No More would be an easy one. He's done so many collaberations with so many bands.
Now listening to videos. This could take a while. I love some of these songs. actually I have never seen the videos. I never cared for videos. In fact, I'm not watching them now. I'm typing while listening to them.

Thanks. Thus far links like the one from 2 to 3 there have been allowed... I suspect not allowing them would make the task significantly more difficult, and might drive away participants.
Initially I got an 8-step link between AC and PJ Harvey that didn't involve Tori Amos at all, and was strugging with getting it down to only 6; but then I remembered the unlikely covers Amos has done, and the Slayer-Amos link just popped into my mind. I researched that, and voila, the 6 steps were enough.
It was quite surpricing that it was more difficult to find the link between Slayer and Pantera than Slayer and Tori Amos.

Watch the video for Down There By The Train from Johnny Cash's American Recordings for free, and see the artwork, lyrics and similar artists.
Artists for the next round then... connect these:
The famous song writer:
Cole Porter
...and the punk-cabaret duo:
The Dresden Dolls
This might be a little more difficult as the Coversproject site won't help you on The Dresden Dolls' end. For linking The Dresden Dolls with more widely known artists, I recommend searching YouTube...
Gun 'n' Roses played "Live and Let Die" by McCartney
Guns 'n' Roses also covered "It's Alright" by Black Sabbath
The Dresden Dolls covered "War Pig"
