Looking to make a comp of stuff as described above - though I'm not sure "subjectively-defined noun" is really what I'm going for, so I'll give some examples... I'm thinking more like intangible nouns probably

Ideas so far:

Subway Sect - Ambition
Aretha Franklin - Respect
Billy Joel - Honesty
Blondie - Rapture
Civilles & Cole - Pride
Al Green - L.O.V.E. (though I'm leaning towards the Orange Juice version)
Lisa Germano - Happiness
Ian Brown - Fear
Ultra Vivid Scene - Nausea
Marine Girls - Dishonesty
Cinerama - Hate

etc

help me out here
