Killing Joke - Jaz Coleman apparently has done lectures on quantum physics and claims to have an IQ of 190 if I remember (my IQ being somewhat lower)
Sisters of Mercy (Andrew Eldritch went to Oxford)
Gang Of Four - Marxist intellectual bods (Leeds University)
Wire - many succesful bands had been to art school back then - but these sounded like they'd turned up to classes as well
Crass - Penny Rimbaud was definitely an intellectual

Dream Theater's core three guys met at Berklee School of Music.
3/4 of Talking Heads met at the Rhode Island School of Design.
and
Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine has a BA from Harvard ~ in political science. Figures, no? ;-)

Walter Lure.
He was a pharmacist, so I'd assume he did lotsa schooling for that.
And..now he's a stock broker, I think.

And David Bowie went to art school, too.

BA: Stare it down, then throw eggs at it.
BA2: Right now, 99 Red Balloons by Nena
BA3: When I watch that episode of the Simpsons. Otherwise, not so often.
BA4: No, YOU'RE a penguin.
BA5: ..beat me there.

The Offspring. The lead singer, Dexter Holland, was valledictorian in high school and was on his way to getting a PhD. in mollecular biology, but he quit to be in a punk band, so now he only has a masters and a bachelors degree. He's also certified to fly a plane.

BQ: umm, not eat it.
2: don't have one
3: whenever I eat chowder soup
