green day is actually the reason i started listening to music. i don't know why i picked "dookie" as the first album to really listen to, but i did. plus, both green day and nirvana are the reason i checked out bands that were lesser known in 1995.

both my mom and dad bought "dookie" so i already it. same with all the nirvana cds.
i don't remember my first cd i bought (so it must have sucked), but my first tape was "damaged" and my first vinyl record was some old screamo record that i don't remember or an old hot water music record. |

True it's probably just to barely get to certain notes...completely untrained...

It was played a graduation, the graduation dinner, the end-of-the-year Senior awards/prediction thing, countless times during the year while people were working on that junk. Just urgh.

I was friends with people that were on the staff and I pleaded with them to not use it. I said that I would provide alternative that would blow that away if only they gave me the chance, but my offer was met with scoffs and "This is the perfect song for such an occasion"

I first listened to Green Day a good 14 years ago. And they still suck.

ha, a funny coincidence. I listened to the first Green Day album (1,039 smoothed out slappy hours) some 2 days ago .. first time after maybe 13 years. And still think those songs are great. Not music-wise, but memory-wise. Yeah, pre-pubescency years and all that jazz.

I still love lots of music I loved when I was 12-14 years old, like KoRn and Deftones and Screeching Weasel and Slipknot and stuff... I have just always thought this band was... actually, they're pretty boring. Nothing to 'em.
The only thing I find slightly interesting is that their last album had, like, 10 minute songs on it. Of course, it was just 6 or 7 songs put together to make one song, and of course NOFX's "The Decline" already did that (with an 18 minute song) yeeeeeears ago. |

I don't know how about you Adam, but I did not evaluate or did not even think about music when i was 12 or 13. I lived with it, I listened to it with my friends, I played it at parties. But I know that wasn't your point.

Well, I guess that was a bit off-topic anyway, since I was listening to Green Day when I was 7, not 12-14. And I certainly wasn't evaluating them at 7. But I have had to listen to them, in some form or another, at friend's house or on TV or on the radio or in movies or whatever, nearly my whole life. And I think they suck.
I don't think people are into bad music; I think they just haven't heard good music. So, when I say that I still like bands from a certain age, I guess I'm saying... even though I've heard all these amazing bands since then, these bands are still worth listening to .. to me. Green Day, however, was never worth listening to. To me. |

I've always thought there was something fairly sinister about 40-something year olds with green spiky hair.
