Two correct. Two out of three ain't bad.
I think Mullane was one of the members' mother's maiden name or something like that.
Flowers changed their name for the reason you said, but I think Icehouse was a much better name.
R.E.M. had at least two songs with "Crush" in the title, but that's not the answer to that one. Crush did not become R.E.M..

Shame on you if you don't get No. 1, CH. I know you have at least one album by this band.

The Blue Velvets were also known as The Golliwogs before they adopted the name under which they became famous.

7. The Four Aims

8. The Mullanes
- Ans: Crowded House
9. Flowers (not to be confused with Kara's Flowers)

10. The Teenagers (There have been a number of groups with this name, but these guys became far better known under a moniker they adopted later)

BTW, my answers are pure guesses, I do not "google", that is cheating

just realized
this thread is like a game within a game
as to the OP
I mentioned a while back about someone needing to start a website
all artists/bands, origination of name, meanings of album titles and song names
has anyone started work on this project yet?
be sure and PM me when you are near completion
I will beta test for you
