When Taj was giving his speech using songs from British artists he references Green Day twice. GREEN DAY IS NOT BRITISH! They're from California. Just cause Billie's singing voice sounds vaguely British doesn't make them British.

greenday ARE not british....
*rolls eyes*
lol, I would say IS because when you talk about Green Day you talk about A band as in one band, one whole, and not several people. The members aren't Green Day by themselves but only as a group
Candy doesn't have to have a point. That's why it's candy
I would say ARE because thats proper English
shareWell if you want proper English try using periods haha...i swear some people...
shareYou would say that but you would be wrong
shareoh dear..
sharethe band green day is a collection of people not a thing.. there for it would be are.. not is .. but its ok, what deos it matter
shareThe musical group (ie; band) known as Green day is not an English rock band. Therefore, the members of said band are also not English. One band, many people. The above poster is incorrect as, for example; a pride of lions is a singular group of many entities. If you're referring to the Pride, you would use is, but if you're referring to the lions in that Pride, it would be correct to use are.
shareAnd I would say "that is" because THAT IS proper English.
however, busting someone's balls about proper english on a damn internet forum is ridiculous - seriously, why??
plus, green day is predominantly loved by the british. so i think it's acceptable.
shareIf you want you guys could take credit for Green Day. God knows we don't want to. Or better yet, lets just blame Canada!
