Hermione Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Surely they could've thought of a worse song than that? Even if you dislike the song I can't see how it could be considered anywhere near bad enough to be on a top 10 bad songs list. A weirdly mediocre list in general when so many ridiculously bad rock songs exist in this world. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertrose Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 The 10 most influential bands of pop punk Green Day As much as we love Blink, even the most diehard fans have to admit that they learned some of their tricks from the other awesome Cali pop-punk band. GD are champions of bringing punk to America, and then the mainstream. In both looks and sound, most of the biggest pop-punk bands today are (lovingly) ripping off Green Day http://www.altpress.com/features/entry/10_most_influential_bands_of_pop_punk/P1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe most of them are "influential". Also completely ridiculous that the Offspring isn't there. 5 hours ago, Siddharth_471 said: American Idiot is #10 in Loudwire 'Top 100 Hard Rock+Metal albums of 21st Century'. http://loudwire.com/top-100-hard-rock-metal-albums-21st-century/?fb7#photogallery-1=92 That's great! Not bad! Especially when they really only narrowly fit the genre. And QOTSA and Rammstein are there so I'm happy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertrose Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Top 20 Major Label Debuts by Indie Bands That Made the Leap 5. Green Day – Dookie No one makes adolescent boredom sound as cool as Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong. That’s why 21 years after its release, Dookie is still one of the most listenable punk albums ever made. Like its angrier older cousin Nevermind, Dookie carried a lot of weight when it was released, simultaneously propelling Green Day into the spotlight and punk into the mainstream. The band’s third album finally came to fruition when Green Day struck a deal with Reprise, which set them up with producer Rob Cavallo. With his help, the raccoon-eyed rockers managed to attain the Black Sabbath/Sex Pistols production style they were looking for while capturing the angsty adolescence that ultimately became the band’s staple. And when it comes down to it, the album’s youthful spirit is what makes it a classic. The album cover displays cartoon chaos, the title refers to the band’s post-tour-food diarrhea, and throughout the whole album, Armstrong drawls apathetic lyrics like “Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit/ I’m sick of all the same old shit.” Hell, even the name “Green Day” is a cheesy nod to the band’s love of cannabis. No matter the era, a pissed-off high schooler can find solace in Dookie’s perfect immaturity. –Danielle Janota http://consequenceofsound.net/2015/06/top-20-major-label-debuts-by-indie-bands-that-made-the-leap/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertrose Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Kinda random, but saw this posted today Jim Trickel Seems like a lifetime ago. I was a Duty Manager at Oakland International Airport. I was walking the curb, and this group of musicians were unloading luggage and a few protected instruments curbside Terminal 1. I asked, "are you guys a famous band?", And Billy said, "well, we hope so, we just won the Bay Area Bammy's".....and the rest is history.......
