I've sat there on the barstool and I've looked him in the face.
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.

The Beatles
The Monkees
The Who
The Rolling Stones
Cream
Jimi Hendrix Experience
The Easybeats
The Lovin’ Spoonful
The Mamas and the Papas
The Beach Boys
The Animals
The Doors
So many bands from the sixties started with “the”. I would also include Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan but they are considered solo artist and the title says bands.

Offline And here’s one that’s been forgotten, The Wailers. Bob Marley. Peter Tosh. Bunny Livingston.
The leading Jamaican band of the ’60s, constantly evolving through style after style – ska; rocksteady; blue beat; reggae.
The membership of the group was as remarkable as John, Paul, George and Ringo coming together.
In many ways, they need to be considered as one of the top dozen ’60s group so far as the influence they would go on to have, together and apart, during the ’70s and onwards.
In particular, their recordings with Lee Perry, starting in the late-’60s, are among the most important recordings ever made, and have echoed down the decades.
