Madonna is great because it's a reference to something in culture.
Ah, you know what... this list shound be very open-ended. So, for now on, two worders are fine. All "the"'s should be included, too. No reason to add unnecessary rules--the POINT of this list is show how common words (and phrases) get co-opted, grabbed, associated, and branded by companies trying to up their mindshare.
Eventually it will be fodder for a story or piece of writing.
Come on, lightning bolt? It's TWO words, man...
Does "Madonna" count?
excluding band names beginning with the?
Weezer?
Does it have to be just one word? If not, I submit: Air Supply, and more, if given permission.
I've just made this an open list. Perhaps now I can progressively have a more complete list of appropriated English words that have become band names.
