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.

Those are the only "The" bands I have in my playlist. I now feel closed-minded.
