Yet more revisionism:

Paul McCartney and Wangs

 

In what may be wayyyyy too accurate these days ...

Bob Seger and the Silver Mullet Band

 

For people liking 1980s female vocalists ....

Blandie

 

Taking a letter away from Boston gave you Boson.  Introducing another geek band by doubling down the s in the middle,

Poisson

 

A change of genre, and she'd fit right in:

Roberta Flak

 

And it's more than one letter, but I am quite fond of

Oreosmith

 

Also a bit of a cheat:

Billy Jor-el

 

Bump the 't' one slot down the alphabet:

Suyx

 

Getting to the core of New Age music:

Yawni

 

Old-time country music ...

... well, turn the first letter in Buck Owens into an 'f'.

 

Sting becomes Stink (or perhaps Stingy)

 

Things most of us can figure out:

Eric Crapton

Nirdvana

The Boobie Brothers

Kansag

ZZ Pop
