"The" Challenge
After being teased by Drew for my encyclopedic knowledge of bands whose names start with the word "The," I decided to play a little game whilst battling the beltway on the way into ye old office this morning. The challenge: go through the alphabet and name a "The" band for every letter. U is still vexxing me, but here are the results:
- The Arcade Fire
- The Blue Van
- The Cars/The Caesars
- The Decemberists/The Dead 60s
- The Eels
- The Features
- The Go Go's
- The Hives
- The Interpol.....psych - I know I had one this morning, must think on this one a bit.
- The J......yar, can't remember my answer here either. But I just cheated and looked at MTV.com, and apparently there's a band called The Januaries. Amanda and the Augusts new album hits stores soon.....
- The Kills/The Killers/The Kinks
- The Living End
- The Montgomery Burns Band
- The New Pornographers
- The Octopus
- The Pixies
- The Q.....I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess there's a band out there called The Quadrilaterals, or The Questions. Blowin' up a suburbian basement near you!
- The Rapture
- The Sounds
- The Thes
- The Used
- The Vines
- The Wrens
- The Xies (ok, this is really spelled The Exies, but, I'm grasping at straws here)
- The Youngbloods
- The Zutons
1 Comments:
I - The Instigators (although I'm not sure if they exist, it definitely sounds like a DC ska band from 1994)
J - The Jackson 5, The Jayhawks, The Jam
Q - The Queers
