For Solar Stone, I'm not sure if it's derived from the sculpture of Michaelangelo, but the way they came up with the word is interesting...they needed a group name on the spot, so they opened up a nearby bible, pointed to one word, opened up again, and pointed to a second one. The 2 words happeneds to be Solar, and Stone.

"We needed a name and had 20 minutes to think of one as the record company were putting together the sleeve artwork to 'The Calling'. We had a book about mythology in the studio for some reason, so we closed our eyes, opened the book at a random page and upon that page was an image of a painting by michaelangelo called 'The Solar Stone', and that was that!"
So actually I was pretty close. Its a painting, not a sculpture
