Whatsername1533 Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 I sorta always listened to GD but I was a little to young to really have any interest in music but AI really got me listening to music so I def. thing it should be on that list.
MusicalDeviant Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 EW just named 'American Idiot' the sixth New Classic in the new issue this week. My scanner won't connect to the computer, so this is what it says:"Sex Pistols. Punk didn't truly go mainstream until these three snotty, snarling post-adolescents broke through to become arena-filling icons; and with songs like "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams," they proved that a little maturity can be a good thing." (There were no pictures or anything.)Yeah, not too big but hey.I thought some of you might like this.This proves Boulevard of Broken Dreams is the worst song ever written, which I already knew. Hate that song. Holiday is one of the greats, and is followed by (well, attached to) that (polished) turd.

MusicalDeviant Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 How dare you!A true, devoted fan would be able to acknowledge that not all of Green Day's songs can be winners. In fact, they have to accept that nobody, including their idols, are perfect, and sometimes write bad, corporate-whorish songs.I mean, it happens. I'm sure if you asked them, they'd admit this song was written based solely on the fact that teenage audiences love mopey, power ballads. They need to pay their mortgages somehow. No but seriously, that song sucks. The rest of their material, however, is beyond great. Its the soundtrack of my existence.
Hermione Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Don't worry I was just messin' I know they're not perfect, the fact that they made that Macy's Day Parade music video proves that.PS. BOBD is the sex, hmph!
MusicalDeviant Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 I know they're not perfect, the fact that they made that Macy's Day Parade music video proves that.Burn. Are you saying fat Billie Joe in black & white, and walking around a factory for no reason isn't a winning formula for a music video?
Hermione Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Hey hey, don't diss the Billie! I'm quite partial to him with a little more meat on his bones. But yeah, the video is the worst thing ever created.

But yeah, the video is the worst thing ever created.Waiting was worse. It had no artistic integrity at all. Pretty people dancing in slow motion, what a novel concept for a video.
Hermione Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Haha don't get me started on Green Day's videos. 'Could do better' is the verdict for half of them. Although to be fair I don't think the band themselves have much imput or interest in them, so it's not all their fault

Starbug Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 A-I think that it's pretty awesome, to be #6 out of #100, even though i don't agree w/ some of their choices, but I think that one belongs up there.B-Dookie should've been on there. Somewhere.C-I like the Macy's Day Parade video (maybe it's cause I love the song so much). But I guess someone didn't like it, it didn't get into International Supervideos... I didn't like the Wake Me Up When September Ends video. I thought it was overly dramatic, and didn't capture the song at all, or at least the way I saw it. I even watched the making of, and I still didn't like it lol...I enjoyed Waiting, and I've enjoyed almost every GD video. Hell, I really enjoy watching them.
FruscianteForPrez08 Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 I would've throw Dookie in there too. I think that's probably accurate that they're number 6, they launched a whole new wave of politically acceptable popular music, which had been missing for a good 10 years, especially after 9/11... as for the rest of the list, Joshua Tree > Achtung Baby and everybody >Lauryn Hill
