Greenday are one of the bands that I sort of grew up with. I was 11 or 12 when they started to blow up over here, and I remember seeing them on Top of the Pops (think MTV condensed into half an hour of cheesy pop with one good track smuggled in) and thinking they were great. That was a week before Dookie came out and I bought it pretty much straight after.
I think I just grew out of them really, they were a nice phase to have and they introduced me to some other decent bands, but I'm not in a rush to go out and buy the new record.
