The production sounds so thin! Those guitars are downright anemic. What are they doing?!

The thread title really should be "QotSA are better than Soundgarden."

Grammatically speaking, the thread title is correct. As the name of a group, QOTSA would be a singular noun for which "is" would be the proper verb.

I've never been very sure of this and have found that I am inconsistent in whether I refer to bands as "they" or "it"

Oh I was talking about the lowercase "ot" but yes "is" is also correct

Yeah, I don't give a good tin shit about whether or not you want to capitalize the letters.

Would you say "they is a great a band?"

You wouldn't. You would say "Queens of the Stone Age is a great band."

It. When referring to a collective group, it is singular. If you are referring to members of that group as individuals, then it is plural.

Pearl Jam is playing a concert tonight.
The members of Pearl Jam are playing a concert tonight.
Matt, Stone, Jeff, Mike and Ed are playing a concert tonight.
