Me and my coworker at a rock club are trying to figure out the first band whose title:
1) did not start with "The", and
2) is not someone in the band's name (with or without "and the" in the title, and
3) is not plural
He says Cream but there MUST be something earlier.
After much googling and neither of us being satisfied I proposed the ultimate decider: asking /mu/.
So whatcha got?
Tom york and the radioheads
Love came out around the same time cream did, they might have been first? Other than that, I don't know.

Love formed a year before Cream did I think
Ratpack - 1955?
Orquestra Afro-Brasileira
formed 1942
oldest one I can think of
pink floyd technically started in 65, before cream
Then formed in 64 and released their first album in 65
However you could further restrict your criteria to no pronouns or proper names i.e. Them, Pink Floyd
Also Ratpack kind of qualifies as plural. Them is pretty damn close though.
Fucking autocorrect
Then = Them

>Ratpack
"The" Ratpack

The first two Ink Spots albums were released under the name "Ink Spots" before switching to "The Ink Spots," they formed in the 30s

I think that's gonna qualify as plural

1971 wtf are you doing
And I found another earlier musician named Pink: Pink Anderson
Even though Them is technically a plural I think thats the missing link. Still pretty different from Cream though so I stjll think theyre a really good call.
Meaning I think Cream is still a good call
