some of them (3, 14, 15 for example) need no comment.

I actually think I figured out all but one, but a few have been named already.

as to the list of Anders:

And So The Trees
Madness

A few of my own:

1) Geiger Counter
2) Eaglestorm
3) John (I consider this to be a tough one)
4) Enkidu
5) Baroque
6) Lieutenant Before
7) Unregulated Reproduction
8) Tutor Tutor
9) Fat Betty
10) Edward Murdstone

16 is the only one you didn't get right. A lot of people, including my mother, couldn't seem to figure out number 16 either and I admit it's not the best one. Lol.  Also, it's easy to come up with stuff on my own but not so easy to figure out other peoples because everyone thinks in a different way. I actually tried to make mine as easy as possible without it being too obvious most of the time. Lol.

As for your list, I've only come up with a few so far. 

1. Van Der Graaf Generator (?)
2. Hawkwind
3. Captain Beyond (?)
7. Birth Control


? = I think that's what it is but not entirely sure.

John = Jane.
Tutor Tutor, is it Talk Talk? -- although I don't actually get it.

no, it is not Talk Talk. John is indeed Jane; the connection is Jane Doe and John Doe

Anders, I think all the ones you didn't guess where already guessed by others so I'll just go through those. You got most of them though. 

1. Little Little Car = Big Big Train
4. The Trucks = The Cars (so your second guess was correct)
6. The Criminals = The Police (not sure if anyone got that but I think someone did)
19. Shallow Blue = Deep Purple
20. Orange Awake = Tangerine Dream

Yeah, the first thing in my mind this morning was that Tutor Tutor is naturally Guru Guru! LOL It was solved already, I see.

Here's a few I made up:

1. Menghast ( Wink there's a firm logic!)
2. Plastic Necklace
3. Soothing Green
4. Warmgame
5. Susie Newmeadow
6. The Merry Jazz
