Talk:Buzzcocks

The?

A pedantic thought on Like many other groups whose name appears to be a plural noun (notably Eurythmics), Buzzcocks' name is frequently rendered incorrectly with a "The" in front it. The group's name is simply Buzzcocks.

Consider The Beatles.

Band: The Beatles
Single member: A Beatle
Those two members over there: The Beatles over there.

How about Buzzcocks?

The Beatles aren't in the same league. Think more of "Grateful Dead" and "Pixies", who's names appear to begin with "The", and often people say it that way incorrectly. --66.68.41.20 18:54, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Just because "The" isn't official in their name doesn't mean it's incorrect to say "the Buzzcocks over there" as was said above. Saying "Buzzcocks are over there just sounds weird. I don't think there was a need to remove every "the" from before their name in this article.
