You gotta love it when you find one of your favorite bands has some intellectual meaning behind its name. It sort of validates (at least in your own mind) your love of the band and gives you one more bit of trivia to impress your friends.  Mental Floss has done some research and found 20 bands that are named for either characters or lines in literature, including The Doors and of course, Veruca Salt. Take a look and enjoy the music.
