Circle Line - Fish
Tower Hill - Clannad (Clannad is not included in PA, but sometimes referred to. Tower Hill is a bit proggish thanks to its 5/4 time signature).

Bakerloo isn't an underground station of course, so if we're counting bands with the same name as London Tube lines, there are a couple of bands called Circle, a District 97 and a Violet District and a Waterloo.
 
Bands named after stations would include Elephant and Castle and Waterloo

Grateful Dead in London? ... everyone would fall asleep!
 
In America folks usually were too stoned to know the difference!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Pete Townshend - White City Fighting. Maybe he's not prog but David Gilmour wrote the music, so it could go as related, or?
