The’s

I don’t know what it is. Perhaps its the heritage and where the music can be traced to. But I’ve been obsessed with bands that have “The” in front of their name. I don’t know if its because half of them just have an indie sound. Or a Brit-rock sound. Or that they all trace everything back to The Clash and The Cure. But I’ve decided to compile a list of every THE band I can think of that I’ve listened to in the past month to show my full appreciation for their superb lyrical and musical discharges.

The Exies
The Donnas
The Strokes
The Music
The Von Bondines
The Libertines
The Clash
The Cure
The Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs
The Killers
The Flaming Lips
The Rentals

Please send your THE “insert band name here” suggestions to me so I can discover more of the same great music. Its true. If you have THE in front of your name. You are good. I can’t think of any band who has THE in front of their name who aren’t good. I can’t. I’ve tried.
