UTC I should have thought that asking Watt directly is in contravention of WPOriginal Research  The convention on the bands album covers is to say Minutemen not The Minutemen although as I found out when proposing a standard spelling for Booker T  the MGs album covers themselves are not regarded by Wikipedia as authoritative sources  Booker T  the MGs 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     July
