When talking about bands, do you say is or are?
Sonic Youth is an awsome band... or Fallout Boy are an awful band... I think both are correct. It's very debatable. But what do you use? ...damn, I messed up the poll and I can't add one anymore.

Sonic Youth as a single entity (is) or as a group of people (are). I think it can go either way.

Sonic Youth = A BAND
A BAND. NOT NUMEROUS PEOPLE.

Hayden is right, grammatically speaking. but, in the whole scheme of things, does it really fuckin' matter?

I still say it can go either way.
Do you refer to a football team that way? "The Raiders is crap"? A TEAM. NOT NUMEROUS PEOPLE.

"Raiders" is not a collective noun. "Youth" is. "Team" is, too.

no, "Raiders" is a plural noun, like "members" or "guitars".
