What’s the best place to start with them? I can’t remember which one but I think one of my favorite bands cited them as an influence.

I knew I was going to forget someone, and of course it was the most consistently great band of the past decade and a half. The new album is aging really well.

sub-thread: bands where the usage of a ‘the’ is inconsistent or incorrect

eg Smashing Pumpkins, whenever i see ‘The’ in front of it it looks a bit wrong
