#90 Green Day

Green Day

Green Day emerged during the mid-90s music revolution. They were considered a punk band, but were really too poppy to be considered true punk. The term that described them best was Pop Punk. They hit the super league with their album “Dookie” before falling off later in the decade. In the mid-00s, they returned with a vengeance with a concept album. “American Idiot” was definitely inspired by “Quadraphenia” and returned Green Day to a more prominent status.
