Reed Rothchild | 9,641 Editorials Team · Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Master thread with standings Ratings key: 10 - One of your very favorite artists of all time. 9 - Killer fucking band. Or artist. 8 - Great sound, great songs, great albums. 7 - Very good, but not quite great. 6 - Pretty good. More than a few songs you like. You'd entertain the thought of seeing them live if they were in the area. Or still alive. 5 - They're okay, but maybe not something you'll go out of your way to listen to. 4 - Meh. There may be a song or two, or an album that you dig, but you'd rather listen to other stuff. 3 - Not very good. You will more likely than not turn the station if they come on the radio. 2 - Not your cup of tea at all. Some people like this, but you are not one of them. 1 - Horrible in every way. 0 - In the running for worst artist/musician of all time. You would rather take a cheese grater to your face than listen to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorp | 383 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Man, they were like one of the first alternative rock bands I got into when I was a kid. Boulevard of Broken Dreams will always be awesome along with a lot others. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeevan | 9,024 Events Helper · Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 9/10 will listen to anytime!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrels | 125 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 2/10. And I’m being generous. Billy and company bend over backwards to fit the times and it shows in the output. wake me up when this shitty band ends. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zi | 144 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 This band really lands for me- I came into my own in the mid 90s listening to punk and remember ordering their albums off of a catalog from lookout records waaaaaay over in Berkeley. Once they became more main stream their production and complexity increased and they were no longer a punk band which I now appreciate. They made a significant influence towards shifting the giant machine that is American pop music and that is no small feat . Tasty hooks, the production, secretly well arranged songs- they’re no longer my cup of tea but I really believe the world would be a darker place without green day.

AstralSoul | 503 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 10/10 - Favorite band of all time (tied w/ Weezer) Also the first band I ever really got into back in 1994, in elementary school. Dookie was the first albums I ever owned. Still love them and listen to them today. Seeing Weezer and Green Day (with Fallout Boy) on the Hella Mega Tour next year and I can't wait! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babywuchki | 14 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I liked them in 94 but by 97 I realized how terrible they actually were. It hasnt gotten better. If one of their songs come on the radio my ears literally start bleeding and I have to go to the ER. Definite 0/10. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperJimtendo | 1,129 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Dookie hit right when I was coming into music on my own and that album will always be pretty special to me. Front to back I Love it while heartedly. But That also set the bar high and I have not enjoyed anything after that album from them in the same way. Still voted a 7 though. I will always love that one album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abelardo | 155 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I owned a couple of their albums on cassette, of course Dookie and then purchased Insomniac when it was released, pretty much lost interest afterwards, but Dookie is great and I think it still holds up relatively well.

MrMark0673 | 197 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Went 4, but likely should have went lower in hindsight. Dookie was big in my formative years, but I hate all (I think literally) of there stuff after that and I can very barely listen to anything off of Dookie now. They did a cover of Hybrid Moments that is listenable I guess. That's about all I can say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 | 2,036 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 They're a solid 7/10. I can forgive that they influenced a lot of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 5,014 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Back in the 90s if I was going to listen to punk, I preferred The Offspring. I'll give them a 5/10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are Billy Jo and Pat Contri related, or do they just buy their eyeliner at the same place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babywuchki | 14 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I'm not knocking anybody that likes them. I get why some people would be into it im just not and I think they're terrible. There are some bands that I would knock people for liking don't get mw wrong (Knickelback...) but Green Day is not one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRobot | 5,846 Events Team · Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I'll give em a 7 for their back catalogue through Dookie, though I have no desire to see them in concert these days. Uno was a pretty great return to form too. If you asked me in high school, I probably would have given them a 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punkr13 | 20 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 This band got a lotta love for em’ definitely was young enough to grow up with them and their evolution in albums have been good. Remember seeing the last episode of Seinfeld and they used one of their songs and I was like wtf hehe simple chords , where you can pick up a guitar and Learn to jam. When they announced the tour I got my tix for it they put on a great live show too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doner24 | 1,197 Moderator · Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 6/10 liked their first couple of albums, but they haven’t aged well IMO and haven’t listened to them in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
