Does Toiler on the Sea count when it was band who took their name from that song? well yeah of course it does, must be a lot of bands who have done this. I remember an annoying phase around 1999/2000 when every Indie band seemed to be named after a Smiths song, well to be honest I can only think of there being one' Pretty Girls Make Graves', never heard them, didn't want to either (and I like the smiths!!!)
reason for edit
A couple of others The Sisters of Mercy took their name from a Leonard Cohen song right? another one came to me as well The Jesus and Mary Chain- Bo Didley is Jesus
