Knight at the Opera

Why would the Crown award Order of the British Empire / Knighthoods to so many occult bands?
Certainly they know what these bands are about. Definitely.

Other British Bands that were Order of the British Empire:
Nick Mason (Pink Floyd -British psychedelic occult band)
Sir Ray Davies (The Kinks, 'Shangri-La' - mythical Himalayan utopia, 'Lola' - song about a crush on a trannie)
