Ok a straight forward test of people's knowledge ;D
Taking as read that bands such as Jethro Tull, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd et al will get shortened to Tull, The Stones and Floyd respectively, these can be classed as surname bands.
So first name bands? I'll begin with Fairport (Convention).

pretty much if u are a legend, u get this treatment, I could add the Dead, Miles, Trane, Jimi, Fabs, Steeleye, Tuna (Hot Tuna or Hot F***ing Tuna, RT (Richard Thompson), Art Ensemble (Art Ensemble of Chicago), Ra (Sun Ra), Dexter Gordon=Dex or LTD, (for Long tall Dexter) Emmylou (Emmylou Harris), Duke for Duke Ellington, Zep or Zeppelin for the Leds, the 'oo for Who, MJQ for Modern Jazz Quartet, Airplane for the jefferson variety, Jorma for Jorma Kaukonen, Brothers or Allmans for ABB. I know I have not stuck strictly to the premise of this, but still in the spirit.
