Biography

Out of all the post-Nirvana American alternative bands to break into the mainstream, Green Day was second only to Pearl Jam in terms of influence. At their core, Green Day were simply punk revivalists, recharging the energy of speedy, catchy, three-chord punk-pop songs. Though their music wasn't particularly innovative, they brought the sound of late-'70s punk to a younger generation with Dookie, their 1994 major-label debut. Green Day wasn't always able to sustain their success, yet their influence was far-reaching because they opened the doors for a flood of American neo-punk, punk metal, and third wave ska revivalists. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
