New vs Not New

Call yourself New Something and you invite the question: new compared to what? These are the pairs where both exist in the graph — a band named "New X" (or "The New X") and the plain "X" it echoes. The New Yardbirds became Led Zeppelin; the plain Yardbirds got there first. Sometimes the newer act is the famous one, sometimes it's the footnote.

Both sides are held to Wikidata-notable artists, so the pairing means something.
