Other interesting name origin:

Marshall Tucker Band took the name of a Spartanburg-area piano tuner.

Jethro Tull got their name from an inventor in agriculture in the 18th-century.

One of the most successful groups in country music is the Statler Brothers, who named themselves after a brand of facial tissue.

Never heard this before. Stop hanging around idiots.


Also, Steely Dan is a band, not a person.

Pink Floyd is a better singer.
Nice try. Everyone knows Bob Geldof is the lead singer. Pink is the guitarist.

And Alice Cooper wasn't a person but a group. Then the lead singer eventually became Alice Cooper.

Led Zeppelin was a far superior singer than all these wannabees.

Hey Cottonwasking, I stand corrected, at least I had it right, he was a teacher. They might have been sarcastic on what I heard them say about Skynyrd on TV.

same here, should change the title to bands named after people discussion

another-

Molly Hatchet- any search will say after a legendary southern prostitute that murdered her clients (Flirting With Disaster). Just legend though. Prolly came from Carrie Nation. At the turn of the century she was a radical leader of the temperance movement. She was arrested 30 times for going into bars wielding a hatchet and demolishing all their goods.



and

Franz Ferdinand was a Duke whose assassination sparked the start of World War I

Well I've always had a deep respect,
And I mean that most sincere.
The band is just fantastic,
That is really what I think.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?

Is it too late to also point out how much better of a singer Hootie became after he left the Blowfish?
