I think this thread would have made more sense if Green Day were compared to say, The Clash, Ramones, Buzz****s, or The Damned, bands that actually had a poppunk sound. But the problem is these "old" bands get too much credit, simply because they were from a different era. But, in terms of simplicity, bands like The Clash and The Ramones were no more talented than Green Day, with the exception that Joe Strummer and Joey Ramone set the standard for a lot of these guys. Personally I have no prob with any of the groups mentioned. They are all equally catchy, well known, and liked.
