Green Day inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
 

Pretty great honor. I remember at the time plenty of people figured Green Day would be just a flash in the pan.

Other inductees include: Stevie Ray Vaughn, Lou Reed and Joan Jett

Fun Fact: my dad's company built the lighting systems at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!

Nice, your old man must be making some pretty decent scratch

I've been known to borrow a green from him from time to time

No one cares about the hall of fame and no one cares about Green Day

Fuzzy you wanna talk shit about pop music for being vapid and mainstream but you care about RnRHoF which is like the fucking vanguard of the most safe, consumable rock music ever created.

The whole idea of having a HoF is anti-RocknRoll

Well its certainly not punk

Sex pistols declined

Do you talk like this out loud

Honestly even saying "RocknRoll" makes me cringe

Punk, Alternative, psychedelic

Whatever, just not "RocknRoll"

Green Days been one of the top grossing Rock acts over the last 20 years. I'm pretty sure American Idiot is right up there as far as sales go for Rock artists in the last 10 years.

They're one of the few bands from the 90's that still sell out arenas. You really don't know 2 shits about music do you?

Nobody on this board gives a shit

I don't think theres anything wrong with honoring the all-time greats who have managed to sustain relevancy decade after decade. Lord knows it isn't easy to do in the music business.

No one with an opinion that matters cares about green day

Everything about this is wrong

Yeah? Why is that? I notice you commonly spout your opinion on things without adding even one iota of context or reasoning to your simplistic statements.

Yeah green day and joan jett are super relevant dude

One of those things is not like the other

I'm sure the Joan Jett induction has a lot to do with her time in the runaways... Which was a pretty ground breaking band at the time.

Any organization that allows Green Day to share a spot on a list that has Lou Reed on it should not exist

man, your opinions are so edgy

green day is green day

i mean they are just a decent band with some good songs and a lot of shitty ones, like most bands

i mean i dont know why everyone hates them. i dont find them offensive. but i havent listened to anything since american idiot so maybe i am missing something.

I don't hate them but they're so incredibly mediocre which is inevitably the type of bands a HoF is going to choose

Stop being proud of having uneducated, shit tastes. It is not a badge of honor. Go listen to Transformer on repeat until you get it.

Green Days been one of the few bands who have consistently put out quality music. Over the years the ratio has lessened, but theres always been great tracks to enjoy.

Also, they' just excellent fucking entertainers. One of the best live acts to check out

I know someone does it every time but....in HOF: Green Day.


Not in HOF: the Cure, Kraftwerk, MC5, the New York Dolls.

Never even nominated once: The Smiths, Sonic Youth, Joy Division, Roxy Music, the Pixies, Iron Maiden, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag.....the list goes on...

I mean i can see oh record sales blahblah. Well...the cure have had good record sales. So has Iron Maiden. And i'm sure the smiths numbers aren't too shabby either.

But i mean the above mentoned band are all among the most influential bands of all time. No, not quite like the beatles or Zeppelin or even VU, but pretty fucking high on the list still

I think this song perfectly describes all of us aging, jaded music fans. It's one of those examples of Billie Joes lyricism transforming a good song into an excellent song.
