Greenday are probably the most important band of the last 15 years as far as punk rock goes. They have tried to ive the music back to the people. While American Idiot is a possibly failed attempt at prog rock (jesus of suburbia etc) the album finds them at their best since Dookie. Mike Dirnt is probably the most under-rated bass player ever. Too many bands try to be Greenday (Bink 182, Sum 41 etc.) who are both good bands in their own rights. Recently saw them live in Dublin and have to say it was the Best Gig I have been to since Big Country's Final Fling Tour( check out the DVD) which was the best live show i ever went to.
