WhiteTim Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 1 hour ago, LaughingClock said: With all due respect to the other AMAZING bands on this list. GD should be number one because even the Stones don't STILL CHART like Green Day. Not Metallica, Radiohead, ZZ Top...All great bands BUT none of them still make new fans (not generational fans anyway) and they don't chart like GD making them the most lasting band of ALL TIME IMHO. Go ahead and name me a band that makes albums for 30 years that chart after the first decade, maybe 2? Queen would probably have been the closest had Freddie not died but even then, maybe not. Rolling Stones album in 2016 outcharted and outsold Rev Radio by miles ahead RevRad not even gold Blues and Lonesome is over million sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Well this was a surprise. The fb page includes a translation. Basically BJ has been working with Morrisey on his new cover album. https://www.vh1.it/news/morrissey-california-son-LP-billie-joe/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 No. Just...no. I'm forcibly removed from this fandom. I thought puma was too much because I didn't expect Morrisey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard, damn near impossible for some of even my idols to chart for as high and as long and as generation as Green Day. That includes The Stones. Go look at their chart history. They have not been generation. They have their fans but your average 15 year old couldn't name 2 songs by The Stones (sadly). It's happening to Floyd and Beasties as well. GD has a particular ability to appeal to everyone for some reason. 2016Blue & Lonesome Released: 2 December 2016 Label: Polydor Records 1 (25)4 (11)12213111 BPI: Platinum[13] YOU are correct, I was just trying to make a point but you are correct that Blue & Lonesome (awesome album btw did chart quite well for them). However, the other bands listed don't chart even nearly as well considering who they are and how long they have been around. Same things happened to people like Bowie. Happens to McCartney, and even Lennon and Harrison. Eric Clapton. It's just the nature of the business. It's not a slight. I am a HUGE fan of the stones. Just for that list, it is IMHO that GD has been more consistent (with some inconsistencies) the most prolific and re-inventive band of our generation. Your point is taken well with that album especially and The Stones aren't going to go anywhere as long as they are around but I contend that for the next several generations, long after Green Day are not a band, because of their young generational following that they will have longevity past any of the bands listed here and yes, I include The Stones in that but again, point taken. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it works If the choice is being outraged because of something that I know is an illusion (assuming both Billie's wokeness and Morrissey's assholery are part public image/part what we project into them) or giving up on having any faith in Billie and enjoying the music for what it's worth, the second option seems better, but still, NOTHING IS REAL AND LIFE IS ABSURD 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
