Literally most 80's and 90's "hair metal" bands.
Then there's Steely Dan who goes the opposite direction. He looks and sounds middle of the road, but the lyrics are dark as fuck. Used to only know of him because of jokes about his music being soft as shit, and then I took the time to actually listen to it and I was blown away.
Steely Dan isn't a person, it's two main artists and a bunch of other session musicians. The band's name came from a steam-powered dildo named Steely Dan in a book from the early 60's I believe.
They made some fucking amazing music!
It's from Naked Lunch, and it's a dildo so strong it could survive even the strongest lesbian's vagina.
Fair. I do the same with Tom Petty, even though I mean Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.
I definitely thought Steely Dan was a person when I was younger. Also I wanted an excuse to share the dildo story.
Pink Floyd also could be a person's name. In fact one of their songs even references a record exec mistaking the band's name for a person with the lyrics "Oh by the way, which one's Pink?"
Jethro Tull as well
Jethro Tull was a guy, see Episode 6 of Yacht Rock for details!
…just watch the whole series, it’s like one hour and it’s all gold
Hootie Hootie Hootie!
Darius Rucker: "For the last time, my name isn't Hootie!"
[breaks down in tears, blubbering] “I’m Hootie! I’m Hoo-hoo-hootie!”
That really might be one of their best skits ever and it's such a deep burn.
