Can you figure out this week's Secret Theme?

Can you figure out the theme that links the answers to these otherwise unrelated trivia questions? Answers and a solution will be posted next week. Turnout was so poor at Ray's this week that we actually called off the quiz; it was an extremely slow day-after-Labor Day bar night. I'll be using the same quiz for Ray's this Tuesday I'd originally written for last week.

1) In what 1969 film does Peter Fonda play a character simply named Wyatt?
2) Who was inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 as part of a group, and used the platform to make an apparently drunken speech attacking Diana Ross, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and Mick Jagger?
3) What rock band's Greatest Hits album is the top-selling album of all time in the UK? It's not The Beatles, Rolling Stones or Led Zep.
4) What round, white flour flatbread is an Indian restaurant menu fixture and a basic staple throughout South and Central Asia, the same word used in dozens of languages?
5) What 17th century Englishman founded the Religious Society of Friends ("Quakers")?
6) What first-wave '70s London punk band recorded "The Day the World Turned Day-Glo," "Oh Bondage! (Up Yours)" and "Germ-Free Adolescents"?
7) Beatles' producer Sir George Martin was classically trained on the piano and what other instrument?
8) RCA Records was founded back in 1901 under a different name. What was the original name of the label?
9) What English actor played the fourth incarnation of the Doctor on Doctor Who, 1974-1981? He's best known for the long scarf he wore in the part, and more recently for narrating the BBC comedy Little Britain.
10) What world-famous entertainer's body was stolen for ransom from his grave in Switzerland in 1978?

... and what theme links the 10 answers?
