Have been thinking about this for a while, especially after getting into this lark - There are so many bands named after music gear!! no that is gear lust

Here are a few I can think of, are there any others??

Electribe 101
808 State
Juno Reactor (or should it be Juno Reaktor??)
Kid 606
Opus 3
Sunn O))) (named after Sunn amps)

The Corgs
Gene Simmons
Joan Ibanaez
Bruce "Boss" Springsteen
Ken Dod
Rod Hull and E-mu
Vazoo

not really belonging here, but deserving a honourable mention anyway:
Jack Daniels (guitar player for Highway 101)

OK, apologies for Jack Daniels.
Too close to Mikhail Gorbatschow and Boris Jelzin.

Seriously again, Chuck Prophet, Randy Travis and John Anderson (and his brothers Jon and Ian), not even talking about all the other Taylor family members !

Are you sure about that? They started out as an Earth honorarium essentially, I would have that it was a riff on that (Earth/Sun).
