Dan

And thus, the topic was born: "Band names we hope aren't literal"

    The Flaming Lips
    Widespread Panic
    Dixie Chicks
    Missing Persons
    The Pretenders
    Earth, Wind and Fire    , especially in a Rhode Island nightclub
    10,000 Maniacs
    Massive Attack
    Frank Zappa and the Mothers
    Neil Young and Crazy Horse
    The Mamas and the Papas
    Pearl Jam
    Barenaked Ladies
    The Grateful Dead
    Toad the Wet Sprocket
