Modest Mouse took their band’s name from a passage in the story The Mark on the Wall by Virginia Woolf, published in 1917. It reads: “I wish I could hit upon a pleasant track of thought, a track indirectly reflecting credit upon myself, for those are the pleasantest thoughts, and very frequent even in the minds of modest, mouse-coloured people, who...

Bassist Mikey Way was working at a Barnes & Noble when he saw the novella collection Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance by Scottish novelist Irvine Welsh; he particularly liked the phrase chemical romance, so he wrote the title down and took it home to the then-nameless band.
The New Jersey punk band named themselves after William Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus, one of the Bard’s most bloody and violent plays. “I have found that when a person wants to be in a band, he or she spends a lot of time accumulating a mental file of words or phrases that would be cool band names. ‘Titus Andronicus’ was, to my mind, the best one...
The Doors took their band name from the title of Aldous Huxley’s book The Doors of Perception, which Huxley grabbed from The Marriage of Heaven and Hellby English poet William Blake: “If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite.

Walter Becker and Donald Fagen founded their now-iconic band in 1971 shortly after moving to LA, taking their name from William S. Burroughs’s Naked Lunch (a controversial book that some have deemed basically unreadable). It’s a reference to a passage in the chapter “A.J.’s Annual Party” in which a character wears a strap-on penis called“Steely Dan...
The band’s original name was The Sparrows, but founder John Kay renamed itSteppenwolf based on a suggestion from record producer Gabriel Mekler, who had just finished reading Hermann Hesse’s novel.
The California-based metalcore band Of Mice & Men got their name from John Steinbeck’s famous work. “The book Of Mice and Men says, ‘the well laid plans of mice and men often falter,’” frontman Austin Carlile explained. “You make plans, and they get screwed up. [Bassist Jaxin Hall] and I both had plans for life, and they both got screwed up, so now...
Originally, the name of the band was Warsaw, but they changed it to Joy Division so people wouldn't confuse them with another punk band from London called Warsaw Pakt. The name Joy Division has dark origins: It comes from the novella House of Dolls by Yehiel Feiner, who wrote under the pen name Ka-tzetnik 135633—his number in the Auschwitz concentr...
Singer/songwriter Eef Barzelay named his alt-country band Clem Snide after a character who appears in several of William S. Burroughs’s novels, including Naked Lunch (where Snide is described as “the Private A** Hole”).

[251]
I also dig “South California Purples”, “The Road”, “Dialogue”, “Makes Me Smile”, and “Wishing You Were Here”. Early Chicago is great. My favourite song by them is "Saturday in the Park". I think Robert Lamm was their best singer personally. All the members in that band are (and still are) outstanding musicians.
