Hey, they're on CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood today. What could be any cooler than that?

No, because the 'stones' is plural.

Day isn't.

Dip shit. It's a band name but its still an adjective plus a noun....

Green Day has grown to become a fantastic band. You don't have to enjoy them, but you have to recognize they're expanding their genre in ways nobody else are doing. American Idiot is going to be in my top ten albums of the decade. I'm a little disappointed they went with the whole 'song cycle' thing again with the new album but its growing on me.

Well a lot of people hate Green day, it's merely coincidence, not a soulmate moment.

I liked bits of Kerplunk, but never enough to buy it. Never bothered listening to any of the Green Day albums after that one. Haven't ever been interested.

And please don't tell me anyone is surprised when Anti has an idiotic opinion about anything.

Because even at their worst, they're still better than most of the crap out there that passes for music.

On occasion, rock & roll has been known to depart from the delicate American Idol sensibilites.

I say go Billy Joe!

I'm still mulling 21st Century Breakdown, but here's my suspicion:

These are the The Who's Tommy and Quadrophenia combined, only with a single protagonist.

Kind of like Faulkner would do with his Yoknapatawpha characters.

On these, quit listening for hit singles.

Listen to the full flow of the album.

Zactly. And even those two songs are just midly good to begin with.

And by "popular" I mean that I've been hearing them non stop on the radio for the past 15 years.

If the band was to announce themselves, they'd say "I'm Billie, he's Tre, and he's Mike, and together we are Green Day." The band's name can refer to both the single entity ("Green Day has a new album") or the collective members of the group ("Green Day are passed out on my lawn"). In most situations the two meanings are interchangeable and either "is" or "are" would be correct.

There must be another Green Day thread because I said this already, but the new album is to American Idiot as Insomniac was to Dookie. High expectations rewarded with more of the same and nothing particularly memorable. It's another rock opera but after two times through I'm still not sure what it's about.

American Idiot is the album of the decade as far as I'm concerned. Of course, it's pretty much the only rock album I've listened to this decade.

They were irrelevant for quite a while, then they started bashing Bush and their popularity EXPLODED again. It's that easy, folks.

I bought it about a week ago, and I haven't reached the end yet cuz I listen to it in the shower. I only make it to song 6 or 7 and then I'm done. But today I was smart. I started at song 6, and made it to song 12. Brilliant, yes? Oh and it's very good. I don't think it's as good as American Idiot but I doubt they'll ever write anything that good again. That one is a masterpiece.
