I have a book called "The Book Of Rock Lists" ( http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0671787004/qid%3D1028 458329/sr%3D11-1/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F1/002-3001156-4397632 )It's a good book!

And there is a list of bands and their names before the hit.

Here are some:
The Detours, The High Numbers = The Who
Earth = Black Sabbath
Soft White Underbelly, The Stalk-Forrest Group = Blue Oyster Cult
The Tangerine Puppets = The Ramones
Mammoth = Van Halen
The Farriss Btothers = INXS
The Beefeaters = The Byrds
The Warlocks = The Grateful Dead
The Tourists = The Eurythmics
Smile = Queen
The Screaming Abdabs = Pink Floyd
The Hallucinations = J.Geils Band
Johnny and the Self-Abusers = Simple Minds
London = Motley Crue
Mudcrutch = Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Praise of Lemmings = Culture Club

And last but not least...

Pud = The Doobie Brothers!
