Actually AMG is wrong. On RHCP albums there is no "The." This is a constant cause of confusion in my office.

The Books do take a 'the'. Doves, for sure, though. I hate that.

The Sonic Youth.

I'd like to say The Primal Scream, but on closer inspection (after realising these are indeed loafers) it seems they call themselves that in their sleeve notes. How odd.

A stupid DJ here always puts a "The" in front of Throwing Muses.. which makes the name nonsense. Ditto Smashing Pumpkins.

― dave225 (Dave225), Thursday, 7 November 2002 13:05 (twenty-three years ago)
