If you say "these" in this case, I would expect you to list the groups you're talking about.

For example:

"Well, there are others, of course, but these are my all-time favourites - DDT, Kino, Rammstein".

Thanks

JackBoni is correct here (for England and maybe also for the USA, I'm not sure), but as a native speaker of English from the Celtic Fringe (Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall, Isle of Man) I find that in my version of English the distinction between THOSE and THESE is not so clear, so that for me gRomoZeka's sentence is perfect
