From the Futureheads thread...
Eric's Trip (Sonic Youth)
And now that I've started this thread, I'm drawing a blank on any more. Looks like somebody has a case of the "mondays".

The Kooks are named after Bowie's Kooks. I like that song.

Godsmack after an Alice in Chains song.
Machinehead after a Deep Purple song (i think - not the same as the Bush song).

Yep, from True Stories. Though it has a space on the album; 'Radio Head'. [/fanboy]
Pretty Girls Make Graves? I'm sure I read they denied it was a Smiths reference. I don't see how they can, though.
I think there's a band in Scotland called Debaser also.

Was that intentional or accidental? I've never listened to Fear of Music (band) but (album) is most fantastic. What do they sound like, Mike?

I know there's a French band called Tom Violence. Great song, bad band name.
Also, Blonde Redhead (DNA song).

When I have more time, I'll stick a song on here for you. They are only about 17.
I am not sure if it is intentional or not. They certainly sound nothing like Talking Heads.

I hear Frank Sinatra was named after the CAKE song. Yeah, Head Like A Hole is a NIN song.

Well, sort of close.
The John Vanderslice album Mass Suicide Occult Figurines is lifted from a Neutral Milk Hotel lyric from the song Song Against Sex.

Death Cab for Cutie get their name from a song performed in the Magical Mystery Tour movie. It's not a Beatles song, though.
