Brian May of Queen was *this* close to finishing a Doctorate in Infrared Astronomy from Imperial College (London) when Queen hit "big time." I *think* he recently finished his studies so people would stop asking about it, but I could be mistaken. Roger Taylor (the drummer) was a first year Dental student and John Deacon was an accomplished EE who designed May's treble boosting preamp.
The "canonical" answer is the guy from Boston (Tom Scholtz?) who invented the Rockman amp and was a graduate of MIT.
I haven't hit the big time, so I don't make the list (although I do play a mean six string on Sunday mornings).
My understanding is that he left the group because he recognized "Minute by Minute" and the Michael McDonald Doobies as the drivel that it was and wanted no part of it.
ping - blast from the past - just bringin this link back lol!
