They is a pronoun that is plural.

A band name is a proper noun that is a singular unit.

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

In this sentence, "Queens" is the subject and "of the Stone Age" would be the prepositional phrase describing the subject "Queens." It's the same as saying "Queens sure are!" Which, in this instance, is incorrect.

The QOTSA are better than Soundgarden.

QOTSA is better than Soundgarden.

Change the thread title they said. It'll be funny. Lol lol fuckalol.

It's tearing the the place apart.

Now God is in the Radio - The QOTSA thread. That's got a ring to it.

Change it to QOTSA is better than Soundgarden and Pearl Jam

Post by **epilogue** » Sat July 01, 2017 9:46 pm

Change it to: Fuck Everyone other than Queens of the Stone Age

What I do love is how QOTSA new tunes seem to be making a mockery of this title.

Honestly? I don't love anything about QOTSA. Even this thread is just kind of fun for a minute and then tedious. Like, I like having fun in this thread more than the thread is fun. Is that an accurate analogy for the band?

I still love QOTSA even though they seem to have entered their PRAMG phase

The new album is going to be boring.
Hey at least they will tour and come here for another amazing show.

The thread title should be "Singular or Plural: Queens of the Stone Age?"

Or how about: "Singular or Plural: Still better than Soundgarden"

But it might depend on whether or not Soundgarden is singular or plural.

We should delete all the threads and just start over.
