"I Don't like Greenday! (gasp)"

So there, fools. I'm making loads of enemies by doing this but I don't care, I'm off to bed in a sec. They suck, they really do. Simplistic riffs and no definite style or identity. American idiot sucked and is like, the most unmusical track I've ever heard, Boulevard of Broken Dreams could be played by a two year old with a mandolin, but some of their older stuff wasn't as bad.

Sure, I like other sorts of music combining many of the techniques tehy use. Metallica, Black Sabbath, Chilli Peps, Franz Ferdinand, Killers and practically any pre-nineties rock band (I'm such a sucker). Please, abuse as much as you want. Mwahahah.

I'm not trying to impose my views on anyone else, I was just trying to see if anyone shared them. And what is trolling? Sorry for the lack of knowledge and all.

Kerplunk's good too.

But I agree with you all, American Idiot does suck.

And She... And FOD, and Sassafras Roots and Pulling Teeth.

There's only really a few not good songs on it.

Greendays new album is a load of toss imo. The middle stuff is the best. eg nimrod. Dookie is quite good but some of the songs are pure junk. apart from basketcase, long view, welcome to paradise and when I come around. oh and burnout.

I'll agree with you. They don't. They DID at one point though.

American Idiot sucks. Yes. But saying Dookie sucks... Bleh.

So wrong :(

You don't like Greenday so you post a topic about it? By all means, they suck, but this is just pointless trolling, everyone's allowed their own taste in music.

yeah, i was never the biggest U2 fan to be fair, but their newer stuff is nowhere near the awesomeness of the joshua tree

I no im gona get people moaning at me for this but U2 should change there name to UPOO there so rubbish NOW. They use to be good but now there just a load of POO on my SHOE!

does that mean people who like U2 only do so because of bono's anti-war rantings?
out of interest, have you checked out the earlier green day material?
i ask because a lot of people moan about american idiot (the single) and i can see their point, it did seem a tad "well timed" perhaps.
either way, most people at least have an opinion on it one way or the other, so they've done their job. i know they're not really a pure punk sounding band but i can't help but feel that this is what most people have taken exception to. If "american idiot" had been released by Black Flag, there probably wouldn't be as much of a backlash.
