18. they are, though there are people who think they suck now
it's mindboggling the reviews on amazon.com. there are those who can't stand that green day has actually developed into mature, dare i say, great musicians. Some are so pissed that they either left their punk roots, or have taken left-wing stands that they fail to see how good they've become.

19. Have you seen "Igby Goes Down"...
it kinda reminds me of that, though "Garden State" isn't quite as good.

But still, I enjoyed it more than anything else I've seen recently.

OK, I'll shut up now... turn off the damn computer & watch the movie :P

14. I keep shifting around on my faves, but I agree...
it's one of the best CDs I've heard in a while. But then again, I liked some of the stuff on "Dookie." And I'm probably considered "old" by DU standards!

22. sure, i love their older stuff too
but this CD just reaches whole new levels. I've always been a fan of the rock operas and this is by far one of the best i've ever heard.

If you like rock operas, i highly recomend "Streets" by Savatage. They're a heavy metal group, but some of their ballads on it will make you cry.

12. The new Faces box set, "Five Guys Walk into a Bar...." Disc 2.
"Pool Hall Richard," great song. The Faces: this IS the sound of rock and roll. No other band defines the sound of rock as completely as them.

37. Nothing Grrs.
I started to listen to The Fairy Queen by Purcell, but then discovered that my planed empty office (due to day-off) was not empty due to an auditor working in here, so had to stop.

I'm in a bad mood now.

38. "The Magician's Birthday" by Uriah Heep
Mid-seventies album from this British progressive-rock band. In a tie with the debut for my favorite album by them.

American Idiot is a good album, although I haven't listened to it enough yet to get into a whole lot. Despite not caring much for the single "American Idiot", I decided to get the album anyway because I've liked a lot of Green Day's past work and liked that they were taking an openly anti-Bush political stance. My favorite album by them is Nimrod; they attempt so many styles of music on that album and pull them off so well.
