Green Day rocks. My favorite songs are Basket Case, When I Come Around, and Good Riddance. But I was wondering, why are so many people comparing Green Day and Blink-182? I've always compared Green Day with The Offspring, because they sound more similar and the media attention wasn't as big as it was on Blink. Let's highlight Green Day's career and Blink's career shall we: Green Day- formed in 1989 and released 2 albums before signing to a major label in 1994 and becoming the first breakthrough pop-punk act, they won tons of rock awards and alternative awards that year and gained lots of respect for their live shows, then in 1997 they made the ballad Time of Your Life which is still a classic today. Okay now, Blink: Formed in 1993 (4 years after Green Day...) and recorded a sloppy demo on their formed drummer's boom box. They released 2 CD's in 1994 on a small label, but then in 1997 got signed to a major label and made Dude Ranch, with the hit "Dammit". In 1999, they released Enema and became huge pop stars. They were on MTV constantly, Mark hosting TRL, girls loving them, etc. They were nominated at the MTV Awards for best POP video in the same category as Nsync. The same year they won "Sexiest Band" from Teen People... Wow their careers are reaaaallly similar...
