As introduced by Robert Elms back in the day:
"From half-spoken shadows emerges a canvas. A kiss of light breaks to reveal a moment when all mirrors are redundant. Listen to the portrait of the dance of perfection: the Spandau Ballet."

Bowery, depending on the situation. It started in the olden days as Bowery Lane. At some point it acquired a "the." Seems to be in transition now.
Letters sent to the Bronx are addressed "Bronx, NY."

the people I heard say "Jesus & The Mary Chain" were in Belgium/Flanders btw (xposts)
― StanM, Friday, 1 April 2022 18:04 (four years ago)
American here but I don’t get the JAMC thing… I thought the name was supposed to refer to a chain, not two people named Jesus and Mary Chain. It just sounds weird without the article.

My kids and I always scratched our heads over "Winnie-ther-Pooh." Is this some kind of British in-joke?

I've just googled it and I'm still not sure if Red Hot Chili Peppers are called the Red Hot Chili Peppers

they neither had one nor seem like they should haveThey have a lower case one all over their Wikipedia page, unlike Buzzcocks.

Feel like this may work for titles too. For example, the follow-up to The Heroic Trio is Executioners, as if things were so bleak they couldn’t afford or be arsed to put an article in there.
