How many planes have had bands named after them? I'm sure there are others, but, The B-52s is all that comes to mind...






The B-52s is the band..., or The B-52s are the band...? Talking about the band, not the members of the band.

Is it B-52s, or The B-52s? The albums are all the B-52s with a small t, but it's pretty awkward without "the".

The Brits refer to groups as plural, eg, "The crowd are going wild."

We refer to groups as singular, eg, "The crowd is going wild."

Since B-52s is plural it would be "The B-52s are a great group." or "The B-52s is the band (<singular) that first opened my eyes to..."

If their name were "Afro Celt Sound System" it would be "Afro Celt Sound System is..." in either case.

A lot of people think Kentucky stinks.

Now, not only is it true, but we know why.

So if you guys quit spurting your geosmen into the dirt, instead of using a tissue or a sock, you wouldn't have this problem.
