I vote that they're ok. BAck in the early 90's, their first few records actually were not mainwstream pop garbage. And even though the latest one is, at least it takes a legitimate stand on political issues. Not a great band by any means, but they are alrighht and deserve some credit

Not my style, but from what I've heard, not missing out on anything of importance.

They have always been pop garbage. Even with Dookie. They take no real legitimate stand other than to try and act like some kind of democratic leftist to sell more records.

I voted : They're Okay.
They have made some damn good songs. "Basket Case" is good. "When I Come Around," "Geek Stink Breath," and "Brain Stew" are among their best that I've heard. And are songs to suggest that they are good enough to be a great band. If they want to be.
But they also surely have their stinky side. Not only was "Good Riddance" vomited up over and over and over again on the radio every single hour on the hour, every single day of 1998 and the first few months of 1999. One of the most unbelievably annoying songs of my High School Years.
And their new stuff is just plain wretched. Political messages are one thing, but bad lyrics and crappy songs are another. It's kind of sad, really. Bratmobile's "Shop for America" is a cooler song than "American Idiot" anyday. And that "September" song is terrible, too.
I think they could improve. If they cared to.

I'm at a loss of words to describe how shitty they are. Except for shit. Shit comes to mind a lot when I think of this band.

Dug up some more of their songs on Napster last night... They had some better songs than I thought. "Redundant" is wonderful, "Walking Contradiction" and "Longview" are okay, and of course I've always liked "Hitchin' a Ride."

I completely agree, Laz. They are not a bad band at all, though they have made more concessions to mainstream success then I would've liked. Still, you can't hate a band JUST because they sell a lot of records.
