The The
The The are an English post-punk band. They have been active in various forms since 1979, with singer/songwriter Matt Johnson being the only constant band member. You actually have to be very creative to come up with a so uncreative name.
No. This is the best band name ever. *sarcasm*

Which originally consisting of Rick Danko (bass guitar, double bass, fiddle, vocals), Levon Helm (drums, mandolin, guitar, vocals), Garth Hudson (keyboards, saxophones, trumpet), Richard Manuel (piano, drums, vocals) and Robbie Robertson... read more I knew that The Band exists, but I didn't include it in the list on purpose because of the history of the name (formerly labelled as Bob Dylan and The Band)

RED
Red is an American Christian alternative metal/alternative rock band from Nashville, Tennessee. The band was formed in 2002 by brothers Anthony Armstrong (guitarist) and Randy Armstrong (bassist), along with lead vocalist Michael Barnes. I added this item after creating the list (together with The The). Names with colors usually turn out good (see the list of Best Bands with Colorful Names). But it's already strange that the name consists of one adjective. One-word names are usually nouns.
They're still fighting the blues.

The Kids
ABBA
ABBA are a Swedish pop group formed in Stockholm in 1972 by members Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. This is much better than what they were going to be called.
