Bands who were named after one of their songs
Seeing as we haven't had one of these type topics in awhile... I just happened to hear a couple of songs today where both bands got their names from those songs (Bad Company and Talk Talk) and it made me ponder about how many others there were. You always hear those stories where a band has a good song but no name so when they get up on stage to play the song they get called the same name as the song (this happened to Madness for example). Here's the initial list I could think of, does anyone have others? Bad Company Talk Talk Madness Icehouse Black Sabbath Iron Maiden Motorhead Damn Yankees Kool & The Gang Green Day Oh yeah, almost forgot one of my colabs! Mushroom Farm.

Can I be pedantic and say that Motorhead was a song written for Hawkwind and thus doesn't qualify?
No?

Hawkwind was named after Motorhead? Boy, this is getting confusing now... (Would "Pedantic" be a good band name?)

There are several versions, but apparently "Hawk" was a nickname for Nik Turner, and "Wind" became a joke about his flatulence ... and the name was born! Motorhead went on to make himself quite a name, but I don't think his work is half as good as Hawkwind's. Still love listening to "Electirc Tepee" and its ambient sonic/rock attack ... absolutely wonderful and plays well non stop. It's probably become my favorite Hawkwind album, and I love toomany of them!
As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!
