The Bach work "Minuet in G Major" was the basis for a 60s song by the
girl group The Toys, called "Lover's Concerto". It's actually not a
bad little song, in many way more ambitious than its contemporaries.

It annoys me because it changes the minuet to 4/4 time. On the other hand,
I love "A Whiter Shade of Pale". What other Bach-inspired pop is there?


Bouree by Jethro Tull (parts inspired by Suite in E minor for lute/guitar)
Knife Edge by Emerson, Lake and Palmer (parts inspired by Allemande from
French Suite No. 1 in D minor)
The Only Way by Emerson, lake and Palmer (parts inspired by Toccata in
F major for organ (up to the end of the F pedal point) and
Prelude in D minor from Book I of the Well-Tempered Clavier
American Tune by Paul Simon (inspired by the hymn O Sacred Head)
Lady Lynda by The Beach Boys (inspired by Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring)

I had to dig for a couple of the specific Bach titles,
