Green Day

I've read half a page of the
Rolling Stone
profile of Green Day who is getting ready to release a new Rock Opera, 21st Century Breakdown. I've never really listened to Green Day at all, but through what I've read, here are the names mentioned in the article: Pete Townshend, John Lennon, George Harrison, Bruce Springsteen, Keith Moon, Charlie Watts, Kurt Cobain, and Bob Dylan (The album is compared to The Clash's London Calling and The Who's Quadrophenia). The references are waaaaay too thick to be ignored. Is Green Day -- GREEN DAY -- in that category? I need to know if this is an album that I will need to pick up.

I've listened to one or two songs off the album thus far, they have been fairly good. Granted it's Green day but i would suggest listening to a couple songs on youtube/itunes and decide yourself...

Just because they aren't old doesn't mean they aren't good enough for you to listen to.

If you're that desperate for new music, I can recommend/give you many better albums.
