The Tornados were an English band formed in 1962. They are best known for their instrumental space-sounding sounds.
Their most well known lineup was: Heinz Burt (bass), Clem Cattini (drums), Roger LaVern (keyboard), George Bellamy (guitar; Bellamy is the father of Muse's frontman Matthew Bellamy), and Alan Caddy (guitar).
Their biggest hit was Telstar, a song about the communications satellite. The song was the first song by a British band to hit number one on American charts.
