I can't tell if The The is brilliant or utterly hopeless.

I think the latter.

I usually find "clever" names more of an annoyance than anything.

Glancing through my iPod:

The Stooges

Even these are fine, acceptable band names:

Earth
Mudhoney

Radiohead
Unwound

Pearl Jam is a no good, terrible thing to call your band, however. My Bloody Valentine is also no good. Blur and Ride aren't much chop either.
