Should this live at Blues (music) or The Blues? --Robert W King 00:40, 29 November 2007 (CST)

For now, no disambiguation is needed. Only include the definite article if it's part of a title. Ro Thorpe 07:14, 29 November 2007 (CST)
I would have voted for The Blues. I always thought the article *was* part of the title. I don't recall ever having heard anyone say they played, listened to or sang "blues". They always say "The Blues". But what do I know? Aleta Curry 15:14, 29 November 2007 (CST)
You got me thinking, a rare achievement. I never felt more like singing the blues. Certainly the condition has the definite article. Bessie's got the blues today. It's the blues (Howlin' Wolf's comment after being insulted on Juke Box Jury). But: Muddy was a blues singer. ...OK, adjective. He likes jazz and blues. She specialises mainly in blues. What would you type in? If you wanted the Eiffel Tower, would you type 'The...'? - Ro Thorpe 15:51, 29 November 2007 (CST)
