I know that Green Day and American Idiot get a lot of bad rep on this site,
but lets think about it, would we rather them to come out with another Dookie? For me at least, I think it's good that a mainstream act with a lot of power (such as Green Day) is forwarding fans and introducing them to a concept album and songs that are longer than 3 minutes with different movements (something they probably didn't know existed.) This may get them into modern prog bands such as Coheed and maybe even the Mars Volta. That could lead them to begin listening to prog. At the very least I think that it could open people's minds. It's much better that they're doing something that's remotely thought provocing. What do you all think? ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |

First choice. Green Day, for who they are, really aren't that bad. Their music always had more feeling to it than the average mainstream rock group. I think it's very cool that they did a concept album. ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

I love GD, saw them last September on the AI tour at Giants Stadium, great show. I've been a fan of The Clash since '79, and GD have carried that punk torch better than anyone else since. AI is a brilliant album. No, it's not prog, and some of the prog-snobs here may not like it, but last I checked, you're allowed to like whatever you want. |

I think it's OK, but far from great! Dookie, however, is excellent! ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

Yeah I just think that people are a little harsh on the band. At least theyre
pushing things forward for SOME people. ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |
