Cool thread. Can't believe these exemplars haven't been mentioned here OR Wikipedia:

Slow Dive, after a Siouxsie and the Banshees song of the same name

Low, after a David Bowie album

Several Species, after a Pink Floyd lyric (but they're a tribute band, so it doesn't really count)

I'll probably think of some others 'cuz I run across them all the time.
