Castaway, Deadbeat Holiday, and Church On Sunday are also good
Very underappreciated album[/QUOTE]
Insomniac is their most under rated album with Warning imo
awesome band "hey baby"

[QUOTE=bepassley;24603444]my favorite green day song is "get back to work"[/QUOTE]
same
boulevard of broken dreams, 21 guns, viva la gloria and know your enemy are my favorites, i do not see what is wrong with American idiot and 21st century breakdown.

[QUOTE=Vedicardi;23581536]
jk green day is the epitome of awful pop punk
[/QUOTE]
i thought that was Blink-182
I'd rather listen to Green Day than Blink-182
Fuck Blink-182's vocalist is horrid.
[editline]08:24PM[/editline]
Also I used to like these guys but I dunno, not listened to them in forever, like literally at all. Don't think I've even heard a song in at least a year, probably more :v:
blink-182 never wrote a "boulevard of broken dreams"
[editline]02:56PM[/editline]
not to say they aren't nearly as awful
I liked Green Day before the turn of the millennium.
Wake me up when september ends. Amazing to play on guitar

An example of someone who doesn't know any songs before AI
[QUOTE=Kashizzle;24625125]Wake me up when september ends. Amazing to play on guitar[/QUOTE]Yeah, 2 notes. Awesome.
I like Green Day, especially Kerplunk.
Longview and Homecoming are their best songs, In my Opinion.
Just a reminder to everyone: Green Day went from this:

very first album is kinda decent, back when the toured with the living end[/QUOTE]
green day was a sellout
labeling them punk is wrong
called POP punk for a reason
[QUOTE=Vedicardi;24641701]called POP punk for a reason[/QUOTE]
pop-punk is kind of an oxymoron
[QUOTE=Vedicardi;24641701]called POP punk for a reason[/QUOTE]
Pop Punk is Paramore, Blink 182, Sum 41, etc.
Green day is more of a watered down Punk Rock (Their older music anyways)
One my main problems with Green Day was that they insist to call themselves punk, to this day.
They're actually really cool people, I had a nice conversation with Mike Dirnt before one of their shows in Bristow, Virginia and he was really fun to talk to. They are good musicians, but they need to be a little more modest when it comes to other people's opinions too.
Anyone who has half a mind that likes Green Day likes their old music just as well or better. I absolutely love 1039/Smooth, Kerplunk, and Insomniac, Insomniac is one of my favorite albums from the 90s. Dookie is still great simply because of the memories I have associated with it, and this applies to American Idiot too. American Idiot was actually decent. It wasn't nearly as good as their old stuff, but I liked it better than the road they were going down with Warning and Nimrod.
Their problem is that they would write songs from the point of view of someone who's a late teenager or in their early 20s, but when they continued to do this when they were 30, it didn't work, so they decided to go ahead and preach about how America sucks, then about how religion and America sucks. All the while losing their musical individuality.
If anyone likes their old shit, here's some nice nostalgia content for you. This was their first show, ever.

They seemed much happier during their old shows as opposed to now

Actually their first show was at a restaurant that Billie's mom worked at.

I know that's what it sucks so fucking much
I have never heard a greenday song I didn't like. Loved them since birth and most likely always will. Though i watch their musicals...i died a little.

True punk is dead. Has been for since before we were born. Pop punk is all there is worth listening to if you're in the punk scene. Ska bands, punk bands, alternative bands. Its all pop now. Some indie is still tight but its just the time we live in. No shame in it.

Shame on bands for wanting to make some money doing what they love.

They went from being teenagers to grown adults, yes. Once you become better at your art it changes. You don't have to like it. Show me a picture of you at 16 and then 37. Lets see what happens.

[QUOTE=Anastatius;24697390]Paramore is pop-rock. Green Day is pop-punk[/QUOTE]
Yup
I can say that I like a lot of what I hear from the band. What did piss me off about them was that their songs would be played on the radio way too much, and it just made me really dislike the songs.

I really think that Gallows capture the spirit of punk more than anyone else, Punk ain't dead.
