Green Day runner up to AP Magazine's "Band of the Decade" poll

[*Green_girl*]

what the hell is all this none sense

i like Blink, but they dont deserve this title. they didnt bring anything new to music, to me they were just a band amongs other bands. while green day is THE band amongs all the other of the decade

Does anyone have a scan of this that I could use for GDA news?

Thankye muchly!

Dear god, that's freaking embarrassing.

[Lauren]

blink 182? wtf? are you serious?

they were barely around in the 00's. not to mention that they're barely influential in the first place...

[porksoda]

Ahem. 8 albums. Or am I missing something?

I didn't count side projects or EPs or anything. Just the main albums. Actually, I'm wrong too because I forgot Bullet In A Bible.

And tapdancingowl, here's a scan:

I hate Blink 182, they really don't deserve this. I think the only reason they won this is because they're getting back together.

Seriously, Blink 182 band of the decade???

AP just lost a lot of credibilty here. Blink have done nothing worth while this decade, or any decade for that matter to be labeled with such a title.

[Renjini]

i love blink like everyone else, and i agree, they weren't even a band for half the decade. i find it funny that even though Green Day influenced blink, blink were the winners

[frankiessister]

Blink 182 being the band of the decade is just utterly ridiculous.

AP did lose their credibility here, as this band is totally irrelevant and won't be remembered by anyone within a few years' time.

I was at Blink's last concert before their 'indefinite hiatus' and it was an embarrassment. Tom was totally off form, missing notes and ignoring his bandmates, and Mark came back on stage after the encore, shouting that he could also play guitar and drums. It was like a two-way popularity contest - no wonder they split.

In comparison - the twelve times that I saw Green Day this year, (fuck, yeah!!) Mike (and sometimes Tre) sat on the stage whilst Billie did his beautiful acoustic encore. At the end of the set, they left the stage together, arm in arm.

That's what makes GD so enduring. The hoodie in their tour merch this year has a name - Band of Brothers - and that shines through with every show. Blink never had that, and that is one of the reasons why they should never have topped this poll.

That's good. At least we were runners up.

"Who Was The Most Important Band of the Decade (2000-2010)?"

Blink-182 won that? What the hell?

I like them a lot, but Green Day's music was much, much more "important" in comparison to the records Blink released this decade.

thats not right at all
