desertrose Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Top 25 Punk Albums of All Time 5. Green Day, 'Dookie' Green Day, 'Dookie' (1994, Reprise) - In 1994, Green Day gave the punk genre just the jolt it needed with their 'Dookie' album, inviting a new generation of fans to embrace the sounds of the acts that inspired them. The modern-day angst of "Longview," the unbridled rock of "Basket Case," the catchy lament "When I Come Around" and even the deeper tracks "Burnout" and "She" http://loudwire.com/top-punk-albums-of-all-time/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertrose Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2015 class: Star power and variety GREEN DAY BIO The rare band that found a second act to its career that was even bigger than its first. Singer-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool burst into the mainstream with their landmark punk-pop album "Dookie" in 1994 and a string of now standards, including "When I Come Around" and "Welcome to Paradise." Then, in 2004, enraged by President George W. Bush's administration, the band unleashed "American Idiot," which raised its profile without losing any punk fire, winning them Grammys and mounting a successful Broadway rock opera of the same name. BIGGEST HIT "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" (No. 2, 2004) WILL BE INDUCTED BY Fall Out Boy http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/music/2015-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-class-star-power-and-variety-1.10207114 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertrose Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductions: Ranking all 30 classes (1986-2015) There’s no question the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is full of a who’s who in the history of music. Each class represents some of the most influential, groundbreaking and popular artists of all time. But of the 30 fantastic classes that have entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (including the one going in April 18), which is the best? 28. 2015 Inductees: The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Green Day, Lou Reed, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, Bill Withers, Ringo Starr, The “5” Royales This year’s class will grow on you. Green Day is the clear headliner, as one of the biggest rock bands of the last 25 years. But you also get long time snub Stevie Ray Vaughan, the final Beatle to be inducted as a solo act in Ringo Starr and the act that has had the longest wait in history to be inducted – The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2015/04/rock_and_roll_hall_of_fame_ran.html#3 Retro Review: A look back at Green Day's landmark album 'Dookie' http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2015/04/retro_review_a_look_back_at_gr.html#incart_river ‘American Idiot': Green Day’s Triumphant Second Act http://radio.com/2015/04/13/american-idiot-green-days-triumphant-second-act/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlissaGoesRAWR Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 That was super difficult to read. I felt like it was all over the place. Their sentence structure is so odd. It's not written very well at all. I think they're trying to sound too smart, perhaps? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chin for a Day Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Green Day's road to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame http://www.mercurynews.com/music/ci_27913090/green-days-road-rock-and-roll-hall-fame I love this article. Mostly for these two paragraphs: "But much of it comes down to this: Armstrong is one of the rock's best songwriters in the past quarter century" I couldn't agree more. And this: "Billie Joe was kind of standing there, looking a little nervous, and I turned to him and said, "You're actually a songwriter," Erokan says. He looked at me and he smiled. Then he looked down, like he was a little embarrassed. " I can just see teenage Billie all nervous, looking down, shuffling his feet being embarrassed. It is so damn cute. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
