This doesn’t include his less official collaborations as MA Doom with Masta Ace, Doomstarks with Ghostface Killah, King Dumile with ASM and probably a load of other ones I haven’t heard of.

The B-52’s -> The B-52s

I’m not kidding. The dropping of the apostrophe was apparently a considered decision.

Goodness knows. Certain expressions, mainly those containing numbers, seem to causes people problems when they try form the plural. For example the decade beginning with the year 1980 gets called “the 1980’s”, The apostrophe is clearly wrong - it does not refer to something belonging to 1980, nor does it indicate something omitted - but I guess people just feel uncomfortable with running letters and numbers together as in “1980s”,
