i cant vote in your poll as i still have mixed feelings over these guys...
i either love or dislike their songs depending on mood... i do however,hate the way they are always called "punk", IMO they are an indi-rock band...they dont have the same angst and feel of imminent violence in their songs like Clash and Sex Pistols i have one of their live bluray concerts...bloody awesome, have heaps of energy on stage, actually prefer them as a live band than a studio band this is punk! The Clash 1.46minutes of pure urgency... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoJYM3krDWQ Sex Pistols punk rock at its greatest!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8szRgIcYlY

The Green Day live album - Awesome as **** is simply INCREDIBLE ! As Crazy said it is full of energy with great crowd participation ! I prefer live albums that have a lot of crowd singalongs as this in my view is the ultimate connection between the artist and the people who love their music ! The live Green Day album is certain to give you a massive adrenalin rush on headphones !!!
I prefer some bands live over their studio albums and this live album is a good example. Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) and When I Come Around are some of my favorite songs. Their studio album Dookie is classic ....they're not a true punk band ...like Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, etc...they're labelled as modern punk and alternative rock...whatever !
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!

yeah...they always try to put artists into little boxes and label them...you cant do that, all you can do is maybe label songs, but good artists dont fit into one genre, they flit between them and brush the sides of many of them IMO..
Neil Young and Elvis Costello...classic examples, he's made albums in just abour every genre(except metal i guess) and succeeded in most theyve tried their hand at. to call NY a folky is totally wrong, the same with EC being labelled 'new wave'....so,so wrong!

I went through a phase where I really liked Green Day, but I haven't really listened to them in a while. I think they can be a good band, but what they do doesn't always work.

I love them more than I hate them. They aren't what I would normally call punk but I don't think they are indie-rock either. I think of them and a lot of other bands that came out during the 90's especially as pop-punk. Kind of how I consider modern country to be pop-country.

Thanks guys for replies.. I am now lot satisfied that there are more lovers.. As CRAZY - HORSE has said they are versatile band and are really talented in making many kinds of alternative songs. They have a different kind of feel in their music. Actually most of their songs have inspired me..
