Band names turned into adjectives?

I suppose you see -esque endings used often to describe a band/musician's sound (as in "Dylan-esque"), but I've also seen "Byrdsian" used a few times.

Any others you've seen?

when you sell heaps (11 million)then a lot less( 2 million) you're doing a hootie ( hootie and the blowfish).
also known as doing a blowfish.

when you wait forever between albums you're doing a leppard ( def leppard).

When you do a big plop on the eager face of popular music you're doing a Hootie (Hootie and the Go Fish). (Me go fags now.)

This guy called Lazarus toured with Explosions in the Sky a few years back. We thought he sucked. Now, anything that sucks, especially if it's exceptionally maudlin and emo is lazarus. As in "fuck, that movie was totally fuckin' lazarus, man."

I like to call stuff "Wolf Eyes." Now that I think about it, I really don't think there's any system or logic at all behind what is or isn't Wolf Eyes.

example: "oh shit, that scene was wolf eyes."
