whichbe commented on the list band-or-brand
I've just made this an open list. Perhaps now I can progressively have a more complete list of appropriated English words that have become band names.

Does it have to be just one word? If not, I submit: Air Supply, and more, if given permission.

whichbe commented on the list band-or-brand
Madonna is great because it's a reference to something in culture.
Ah, you know what... this list shound be very open-ended. So, for now on, two worders are fine. All "the"'s should be included, too. No reason to add unnecessary rules--the POINT of this list is show how common words (and phrases) get co-opted, grabbed, associated, and branded by companies trying to up their mindshare.
Eventually it will be fodder for a story or piece of writing.
