What artists share their names with song titles?
Here are some examples I can think of:
”Survivor” is a song by Destiny’s Child and the band who sang “Eye of the Tiger.
“Post Malone” by Sam Feldt
”Tim McGraw” by Taylor Swift
”War” is a song by Edwin Starr and a 70s funk band.

I’m not sure if “Highwayman” by Highwaymen count but “Highwomen” by Highwomen sure does.

Close enough: Shakespeare’s Sister is a song by The Smiths that inspired the name of the duo Shakespear’s Sister Cherry Bomb is a hit by The Runaways and another one by John Cougar Mellencamp, and the name of the ‘fictional’ band that sang most of the songs of the 1986 movie Howard the Duck  |
