Top 5 Punk Bands
411mania.com has made a list of the top 5 punk bands of all time.  Green Day did make the cut for one of the four judges and it has a nice little write up about them....
"Green Day - I know many of you out there, including several of my colleagues, consider punk dead and buried by the early 80's, refusing to acknowledge the genre's resurgence in the late 80's and early 90's. I personally don't believe that we can continue to turn a blind eye to the success of Green Day. As teens, the boys from Green Day were stereotypical punk rockers on a scene that was buzzing once more on the underground. When the band released their major label debut, Dookie, the doors were flung open for a new generation of punk rockers to tap into the psyche of the American Youth once more. It is a shame that many of their fan's were so short sighted, because any true believer of the punk mentality should be able to see that Green Day didn't shun their fans, but rather did whatever they wanted to, whenever they wanted to. After all, is their anything more punk than that?"
