pretty cool website with explanations behind a lot of bands, some of the good ones below:
At the Drive-In
Their name is from a lyric of the song "Talk dirty to me" by Poison.
Beastie Boys
According to the band, 'beastie' is an acronym for "Boys Entering Anarchistic States Towards Internal Excellence."
Butthole Surfers
They performed under a different name at every show. At their first paid gig the announcer forgot their name of the week and used a title from one of their songs. After positive reviews they decided they had to keep the name to keep the reputation.
The Doobie Brothers
The band known as 'Pud' were sitting around when a friend of the band said "Why don’t you call yourselves the doobie brothers?". He was kidding and they all laughed, but later someone said "hey, that’s not such a bad idea".
The Doors
Poet William Blake inspired Jim Morrison with the line,
"if the doors of perception are cleansed, everything would appear to man as it truly is, infinite.
