I'm glad you differentiate between Radiohead and "alterno" bands, but I disagree that Green Day's guitar sound is better than Radiohead's.
Different, yes.
Better - definitely not!

Those band are not that bad!!!
SOAD is a great band, I like Stratovarius a Hell lot and Green Day is
one good Punk Band (Probably the only thing I found good in this "era"
of punk with Pennywise, Millencolin...anyway)
You just have to be as open minded that you are for Complicated and Intelligent Music but in the other way Simple music, catchy song and Lyrics that goes nowhere can be good! It's all about taste!

What's wrong with you guys?
Have any of you actually heard the album? Thought not!
I have a 13 year old daughter,so I can claim to have heard the album at head-splitting volume at least 100 times! |
I have one 14 years old and one 12 years old daughters, the oldest one is into whatever-metal (Sonata Arctica, Stratovarious, SOAD, etc) and the youngest is into punk, so I totally simpatize with you...

hmm i always try and introduce friends to new bands (mostly prog on my part) and it works for a lot of my friends, and most know that my cd collection is as big as most record stores (but with less of the crap) so they are constantly blagging my stuff and giving me stuff to check out...
but there is this one guy who is one of my best friends who gets really offended if i try to introduce a new band to him, he is a die hard metal fan who idolises metal but if i ever try to share a metal band with him he will not be happy. its reli weird, if anyone else does it he will gladly allow it but with me its like i am trying to offend him.
He likes metallica so i go, ah check out dream theater, similar styles there, and he has a go at me. He likes in flames so i say, ah check out Opeth, they are also swedish death metal! You get the picture.
He also likes Green Day and hates led zeppelin. Proving that you just cant please em all!

Black Dog survived for a few decades. I dout some confused teenager is gonna make a difference.
I didnt hear the album, the singles were enough to make me feel terrible. Simply digusting...the state of music, i feel sorry for my own generation growing up with such bad music

I am a bit of a Green Day fan (have their breakthrough album, and their one of the better "Punk" bands out there today.) I may have to hear a bit of it to decide, but I applaud them actually making a concept album.

I have no problem with Green Day. I still sing "Basket Case" everytime we go to Karaoke. I'd take Green Day over MariahJenniferBritneyBouncyCherJ-LoMadonna, any day. 
I agree with Garion that their sales cause a high amount of prog-angst jealousy.

I think maybe they are getting their first taste of the Lester Bangs School Rock Journalism 101. Praise the punk as genius and slap anything that speaks of one actually being able to play an instrument, play more than two chords and using more three drums in your kit. I don't hate Green Day but it is a little disgusting the amount of records (allegedly) they are selling.
