Green Day.

Catchy punk tunes, good looking singer, popular & charismatic. We all love them, but which song is the best? You decide.

LittlePuppetBoy · 08.19.2006, 09:37 AM

I don't know. I appreciate Green Day because I have good childhood memories of them (from when Dookie came out), but now they and their new teeny bopper fanbase disgusts me.

porkmarras · 08.19.2006, 09:38 AM

one of the worst bands to exist ever.

Pookie exposed hehe. Some people like to try & get a rise out of others by zeroing in on a topic that is sure to get lots of negative attention.

he said: "from when Dookie came out" he heh

Green Day?

The only songs out of these that I know
are Basket Case & Boulevard of Broken Dreams & I think I know Longview.

I don't like the way they arrange power chord progressions, I don't like Billie Joe's voice, & their rhythm section is utterly boring.

BJ even talks smack about Sonic Youth to boot.
Fuck Green Day.

But, please, nevermind me, carry on...

Inhuman · 08.19.2006, 10:25 AM

I don't mind some of their older music as Littlepuppetboy said, but ugh, Billie Joe annoys me greatly about what he said about the youth

I don't quite understand the disgust people feel towards GD. They're rubbish or passable, depending on my mood, but people (especially SY fans) seem to single them out for hatred. Surely there are more deserving targets of the ill-directed venom of people here?

Pookie · 08.19.2006, 10:26 AM

Oh damn & blast. Named & shamed. Are you at work & as bored as me Sn@ke?

Pax Americana · 08.19.2006, 10:32 AM

If I hear that Boulevard of Broken Dreams song one more time, I might snap and shoot a bunch of kids.

Inhuman · 08.19.2006, 10:35 AM

"Yeah, Nirvana were important, because there was this forceful message, and it was sexual. But Green Day aren't like that. They're pretty blank. Billie Joe seems like a nice guy, but..."

Thanks for obliging so predictably.

Nice to know you freely admit that you thrive on attempting to cause me strife, stalker.

Those two should naturally appear in a line of thought together, because without Nirvana becoming hot shit & selling big numbers, the Green Day machine would have never been borne into the marketplace. And yeah, Green Day are like a non-threatening (with the soul sucked out) version of Nirvana in many ways. When one considers all the bands that the success of Green Day have spawned, it's a bit like a lot of '50s rock with the endless parade of seemingly neutered safe-for-your-daughter performers.

Pookie · 08.19.2006, 10:43 AM

Like it or not, there's a whole group of people (the vast majority in fact) that just like music because it sounds nice.

We're the exception.

...or 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's. There's nothing that Green Day do that's worse than any other pop band over the last 50 years.
