Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Green Day get a mention in this Pop Culture 25 Years Later article (it talks about Dookie): https://25yearslatersite.com/2019/02/22/popculture25yl-february-1994-green-day-pavement-drop-classics-michael-jordan-plays-baseball-gwen-stacy-takes-a-dive-again/ This is what it says: Green Day ā DookieĀ Ā by Bryan OāDonnell 1994 was a monumental year for music. I plan on contributing to many of the PopCulture25YL columns to talk about the music from 25 years ago. Iām biased, probably, because 1994 hit directly in the time I was growing up and becoming obsessed with music, but I think the year was the best year of new music ever. Green DayāsĀ Dookie, the bandās third album, was released on February 1, 1994. At that time, I was in 6th grade, religiously listening to Metallica and Nirvana. I remember likingĀ DookieāsĀ first single, āLongview,ā well enough, but it wasnāt until later that year and into 1995 that I remember the album exploding. DookieĀ was perhaps the most iconic album of my middle school years. Everyone had theĀ DookieĀ T-shirt. I remember trying to out-cool everyone by buying aĀ KerplunkĀ (the bandās second album) T-shirt, but it probably only hurt my popularity. It seemed like a new song from the album would be released as a single every week. In addition to āLongview,ā this album features songs you still hear on the radio on a regular basis (yes I still listen to the radio): āBasket Case,ā āWhen I Come Around,ā āWelcome to Paradise,ā and āShe.ā Itās hard to believe all of those songs were on the same album. Sitting down to write this piece and listening toĀ DookieĀ after a long time away from it, I felt a wave of nostalgia kick in right from the get-go. The album starts with āBurnout,ā a very angsty song that definitely spoke to me in my uncomfortable early-teen years: āIām not growing up, Iām just burning out.ā Two more non-hits follow ā āHaving a Blastā and āChumpā ā and they are also excellent. Diving back in to some of these lesser-known songs was truly a pleasure. With a lot of the music from this time centering around grunge, Green DayāsĀ DookieĀ introduced people who listened to mainstream music to punk rock. It was an important album then, and itās still an important (and very good) album today. As someone who later got heavily into punk rock for a period of my life (constantly listening to the Clash, NOFX, Bad Religion, and many others), Iām not sure if I ever would have made that musical leap if it werenāt for Green Day releasingĀ DookieĀ when they did.

Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Another mention of Green Day in this NME article "Nine pop-punk records to look out for in 2019": https://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/nine-pop-punk-records-look-2019-2451736 This is what they say: Green Day What:Ā Untitled new album When:Ā TBC What to expect:Ā After the band returned to what they knew on 2016ās āRevolution Radioā, an album of stadium-ready protest anthems, Green Day look set to shake things up with album 13. Theyāve stopped working with their manager of 20 years to join Crush Music, who know a thing or two about forward facing pop-punk, looking after Weezer, Panic! At The Disco and Fall Out Boy. But fear not, old skool fans, Green Day have also playing the whole of āDookieā during rehearsals. Did someone say 25th anniversary tour? What they say:Ā āIām writing new songs for gd now,ā Billie Joe Armstrong told fans ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Green Day also get a couple of mentions in this Loudwire article "50 Rock Songs That Defined 2009" - the first for "21 Guns" and the second for "Know Your Enemy": http://loudwire.com/rock-songs-defined-2009/ This is what they have to say: Green Day, '21 Guns' Green Day took their time following up the monster success of their āAmerican Idiotā album, but when they finally did return a half decade later, the ā21st Century Breakdownā album showed no signs of backing down from the social commentary. ā21 Guns,ā which was the second single to drop from the album, spoke to the horrors of being pushed to the brink while at war. The song ā bolstered by inclusion on the āTransformers: Revenge of the Fallenā soundtrack ā climbed to No. 3 Alternative, was a Top 20 single at Mainstream Rock radio, crossed over to hit No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 and went on to be a platinum selling single. Green Day, 'Know Your Enemy' It didnāt take long to see that Green Dayās popularity was still intact after a five-year spell between albums. The anthemic rallying cry āKnow Your Enemyā shot straight to No. 1 at both Alternative and Mainstream Rock radio, with Billie Joe Armstrong imploring the listener to take a closer look at the messages the media provides. The powerful messaging also fit well with the WWE, which claimed āKnow Your Enemyā as a Smackdown theme. The gold-selling single got their 2009 return off on the right foot. 1

Ā 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. 4
