The "The Smiths"

There are as many articles about the overhyping of "the" bands as there are "the" bands. Please don't add to "the" pile.

The Do Your Own Fucking Research 5

Meh, it's more fun to do it this way.

Also, looking back at original list, I'm pretty sure the Sex Pistols were "Sex Pistols" and any "the" attached would be transient and not part of the band name per se. And whatever Malcolm might claim, they were hardly "hyped" to notoriety. How many albums did the White Stripes put out before they were "hyped"? D+ Try harder in future please.

yeah this article is way too easy. not that i've read it, but i'm pretty good at judging things without knowing anything about them.

~~The~~ Liars. Almost as good as you are at remembering band names and defending hackery.

― I Oppose All Rock and Roll (noodle vague), Friday, 16 September 2005 16:23 (twenty years ago)

i can see your point, i think you're right about the Sex Pistols, although All Music list them as The Sex Pistols. As for your White Stripes argument, it's not the point. they were hyped at a certain point, bigtiiiiime

not my favourite thing to write about but easy it is not, it's a little bit too massive for just 2000 words or so
