1. Billy Talent is the only one that comes to mind for me.

[enigmatic]

2. Richmond Fontaine

This one's easy; the name of the band is a name from from one of singer/songwriter Willy Vlautin's short stories.

3. Mazzy Star

[vireo]

4. BLONDIE!

[Mojambo]

5. Abe Froman. n/t

[Initech]

6. Steely Dan

Of course, many people think it's a person. What they dont know - it's the name of what Frank Zappa would call a "lonely person device". :evilgrin:

7. Nena

"Favorite" would be a stretch, but for German new wave it's OK.

[Gatchaman]

8. Rush

But it's hard to say you like Rush without making the "Canadian Power Trio" disclaimer, just to be safe.
