Six Degrees of Separation Game

This is the one my lady friend proposed to me, and now I propose it to all of you (mind you, I haven't gotten my answers yet). Feel free to post answers in here (hopefully complete with reasons why you got from one degree to another), as I'm hoping that all answers will be different from each other, and there's no right or wrong.

That said - Dave Gahan to Morrissey in TWO degrees:

1. Depeche Mode had several remixes by François Kevorkian (most notably, "Personal Jesus.")
2. François Kev
