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..

They did not change their name, they had it changed for them without prior consultation. Shame on you if you don't get No. 1, CH. I know you have at least one album by this band.

ive copied and pasted your list bob_32,
my new guesses are in bold type: 1. The Blue Velvets - Clue: also known as The Golliwogs 2. The Pendletones - Ans: The Beach Boys 3. Farm - Clue: Iconic Australian band little river band 4. Tom & Jerry - Ans: Simon & Garfunkel 5. Crush - Clue: Australian, from around the turn of the millennium savage garden (but they were late 90s from memory) 6. The Four Lovers - Clue: The Four... (something else) 7. The Four Aims - Clue: The Four... (something else) four tops 8. The Mullanes - Ans: Crowded House 9. Flowers (not to be confused with Kara's Flowers) - Ans: Icehouse 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) - Clue: Under their charismatic lead singer, they became identified with a whole musical genre, bringing that genre to a world wide audience. queen BTW, my answers are pure guesses, I do not "google", that is cheating
