Umm, no? I dunno if thats sarcastic. It just seems like people nowadays dont listen to their own music. They like what other people like. :P

^^and people who don't listen to what they actually like just because it's mainstream are better? sure, i do admit that older GD was better, i myself own all of their cds, including american idiot, and i also do admit that i DO judge some new GD fans who think american idiot is like the best cd ever without even knowing about their old stuff, but i dont really blame the band for their fame, or the fact that american idiot sucks compared to insomniac, nimrod and warning (my fave gd albums) and the rest of them too. not every new album can top the older ones... actually that rarely happens, but when then were recording the album i dont think they KNEW it would be a huge success internationally. but yeah, i dont like new gd fans who walk around in gd tshirts and think they look punk while their other fave bands are good charlotte and simple plan. but im still lovin green day the band

Thats because Kerrang SUCKS at everything theyve ever done.

These are just some of their "awards ceremony"'s results that really annoyed me:

BEST SINGLE -Foo Fighters 'Best Of You'
Now dont get me wrong, Best Of You is a good song, but Best Single?? Uh, no.

BEST ALBUM - My Chemical Romance 'Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge'
This was the best album of 2005?! Hmmm, way to ignore pretty much every other release made..

BEST LIVE BAND - Green Day
PAH. Well, its hardly a difficult task to perform their songs live, is it... Hell, learn to play just four different chords, and you're away.

BEST BAND ON THE PLANET - Green Day
...This needs no comment.

ICON AWARD - Marilyn Manson
Uh huh.. Here's the lesson, kids: Pay almost all the money youve got into looking completely retarded, then use the rest of your money on paying for a band that will play as long as YOU get all the credit. You'll be famous beyond your wildest dreams... Every child in the playground will be wearing a shirt with your face on the front

Oh I don`t know about that. They did call Fall Out Boy the worst band in history.

I`d say that was a pretty accurate description.

They did? Wow, I suddenly have a small amount of respect for them.

Still doesnt change their crap countdowns and such... I think the last one I saw was "50 most outrageous rock stars" and they had the likes of Eminem at number 6 , I believe.
