UTC I should have thought that asking Watt directly is in contravention of WP Original Research The convention on the band s album covers is to say Minutemen not The Minutemen although as I found out when proposing a standard spelling for Booker T the M G s album covers themselves are not regarded by Wikipedia as authoritative sources Booker T the M G s spelled their own name several different ways on their album covers I have no problem with the title of the article being Minutemen and referring to the band within the article as the Minutemen They are one of my favourite bands btw 16 10 10 July 2008
