Yeah, like 'THE Piper at THE Gates of Dawn' or 'THE Final Cut'

Two very successful commercial albums.

THE piper at the gates of dawn
THE final cut
THE division bell
THE pink floyd sound

mainstream?

I read on my desktop wallpaper : "Pink Floyd The Dark Side Of The Moon".

I prefer the "the" but it depends on the context, really. You don't say "the 'The Dark Side of the Moon' SACD sounds great," you omit one of the "the"s. If the "the" isn't necessary, you don't have to say it. But it should be printed on the album nonetheless.
