I dont know all the peolpe who complained about these threads. What im saying is that the thread asked something and you didnt reply according to it. In this thread specificaly youre the only one who said we dont need another thread like this one. The other people said their opinion about the band or the album. They simply said if they liked or not. Attacking the thread you attack me indirectly (or directly, i dont know. But i really dont think that was your intention) instead attacking the band you dont like.

I haven't heard their music, I just heard they were a classic punk band. The Ramones on the other hand...honestly, how many songs have you heard from them?

I'm not a moron. Different decades, same crappy ass music. The Sex Pistols are pop and The Ramones are rock n roll. You obviously haven't listened to their music too closely to see the differences.

For all punk fans...

I guess DS hasn't noticed the differences either.

Sex Pistols pop? Ramones rock and roll?

What the hell is this? First off, the Pistols, whether you like it or not, are seen as the quintessential punk band (they're not the best punk band, but they certainly are among the most iconic).

Ramones inject a LOT of elements of '50s and '60s pop into their music. They're a lot like a deranged Beach Boys with leather jackets, buzzsaw guitars and a lot of sniffing glue.

This is the one and only time I will ever side with SuperZenki. Thanks a lot, RT.

Then perhaps you should try reading the rest of the responses.

and to answer the question, I don't hate Green Day, they're just hella overplayed.

I think it's only accurate to call a POPular band pop. The Sex Pistols even have those famously poppy, catchy lyrics. It doesn't sound like you even think The Ramones are punk either. I mean no one has to agree with me, but I really wouldn't consider either band punk. There is a lot of people that would agree with me on this out there.

Green Day? Like I've said all along: Lousy new hogwash.

I liked it when Tiffany and The Clash were separate entities.

This thread blows.

I think it's a little too trendy now to shit on Green Day. I mean, no one actually thinks its real punk, or that it is complex musically, or that the band's members have a whole lot of talent, but I don't think any of that negates the quality of the songwriting. Simple and straightforward, but still effective. I mean this is not Good Charlotte, this is not New Found Glory, this is not Blink-182, this is not Simple Plan. People forget that while Green Day is essentially derivative, all of the similar bands out today are derivative of Green Day, not vice-versa.

My feelings precisely...

[Rosie Cotton]

Oh look, three people aside from me have said that this thread sucks on this page alone.

American Idiot is a good album but it has nothing on Nimrod, Insomniac, 1039/SOSH, kerplunk. Its comes second last on my list just before shenanigans and warning.

I don't like Greenday and I still don't get why I keep hearing people say that their sound has changed. It sounds like all of their other music to me, personally. I do like that they are being political because it may help the masses somewhat open their eyes.

You obviously dont know what punk music is. And that person is right, The Ramones and Sex Pistols ARE punk not pop or rock n' roll. I suggest you learn a thing or two about music genres.
