The "singer" so wants to be British it's unbelievable.

Rock n' roll doesn't need to have "meaning" or "substance", just a guitar riff and some lyrics, we don't need an eight minute song about being depressed.

if rock n roll doesnt have meaning or substance then i dont wanna hear it, what the hell do you know about music, how does he want to be British, he clearly states he is from oakland at every show, what he's saying is he thinks his british fans are far more exciting than theyre homeland fans, and your not only supposed to recognise this band for one song about being depressed, even if it was a masterpiece.

Two words, "Unskinny Bop." I rest my case.

And for Green Day, two words, 'Green Day'.

And your point is what?

reply

If you were referring to my post, my point was that Poison was a terrible band that has no place on this list. They are the epitome of rediculous hair bands and have nothing to do with hard rock; i.e. their incredibly stupid song "Unskinny Bop." Also, I don't like Green Day, either.

reply

Green Day sux plain and simple. The most overrated band of this century. but Poison wasnt very good either, same with Ratt, and Quiet Riot, and all those stupid hair metal bands that had one hit and then disappeared. did anyone else feel that Judas Priest, Pantera, and Slayer should have been much higher on the list?

reply

I agree with everything you just said.

reply

greenday!!!!the stupid punkies!!!!

reply

Their style is so derivative of the Buzzcocks.. hard to believe musicians who dedicate their careers towards aping the Ramones and Buzzcocks can suck so badly.

Posion disappeared? That couldn't have been a Poison concert I went to last night then.

The list was ok in my opinion. I thought putting the Rolling Stones so low was kind of a sign of dissrespect.

reply

Green Day - Rock and Roll doesn't need a bunch of emo-wannabee anti-republican idiots writing crappy songs.

I udnerstand that people don't like Bush, that is fine, but when you dedicate a whole rock album to bashing the President of the United States...

Plus, they are emo-wannabees. That's beyond pitiful. They're early stuff is decent but not enough to get them on the list. Not even at spot 100.

reply

I hate Green Day, but I disagree with what you said about them making an entire album "bashing the President." Not because I don't like the President, but more because that that wasn't what the album was about. It was a rock-opera about a character who doesn't like the way the country is going and sets out to start his own life of protest and being emo. But when he gets to the real world he finds that there's more to life than bitching about the President and his life goes in the crapper. Just wanted to clear that up.

to me greenday is the best band in the world

reply

You poor fool. Green Day is awesome. ANd rock today is stil good. You just have to know where to look. There are some crap, like Fallout Boy and My Chemical Romance (which Green Day is nothing like). I think Green Day should be much higher than they were.

reply

Green Day's major fan base is 12 year olds. And I agree, Skynyrd should've been top 30, at least.

i can't stand punk (and i use this in the loosest form possible to incorporate all bands/genres i dislike i.e. alternative rock, many hair metals bands). the ramones beat Iron Maiden, what the *beep* Where is Accept? Why is punk even there? this is a hard rock/metal list. punk shouldn't even be there if this were just a music list. punk is a complete anti-attitude towards music. Skynard... is *beep* AWESOME. why were they at the bottom end. who the hell is running VH1, and whoever it is should be fired at once. whoever lives and breathes punk, grow up and get a haircut, you look *beep* ridiculous.

i would apologise if you were offended by my little rant, but we all know i would be lying.

Green Day should have been replaced by Fishbone

green day should have been replaced by spice girls, backstreet boys or bloody william shatner, that list was a joke and a mockery. skynyrd shoulda been wayyy higher.

green day was on the list? wow. i only saw like the top 10 or so, so idk. um, i love green day and everything, but i really dont consider them hard rock....
what number were they?

reply

Ok, a show of hands. How many "hard rockers" here even heard of Green Day before American Idiot came out? No one? Thought so. This list was made before that crappy album came out and Green Day was a great bands long before then and they had a big impact in the 90s. Poison can go die. They're one of the 100 worst bands of all time. No, Green Day isnt hard rock, but at one time they were punk and we're really good. So stop bitching. This is the reason I hate "hard rock people". Because all they do is bitch about bands that arent hard rock. And Poison isnt hard rock. Green Day is more hard rock than Poison. Dont like it? Kiss my ass. I rest my case.

Awww man, now I have to fight Satan too?

reply

the rolling stones had to be in the top 20 because they created the style of blues rock that went on to be hard rock.

reply

Good Points, but I disagree with you on some. I like American Idiot, and while it's no Nimrod, it's still a good album. What it isn't, however, is emo or Bush bashing. Two songs on the album have political themes, and just becuase they are the only two songs many people have heard doesn't mean they represent the whole of the bands career. People who bash Green Day have hardly listened to them anyway. And hard rock isn't metal, it's just rock that was started by bands like Cream and Led Zeppelin in the late 60's and has continued ever since. Other then just rock, it's one of the most broad terms in music. So Green Day is hard rock.

reply

I like how 99% of the complaints in this topic are about American Idiot, which came out 4 years after this list.

Rock n' roll doesn't need to have "meaning" or "substance", just a guitar riff and some lyrics
That's essentially what Green Day did for 15 years, dumbass.
