It's so fucking stupid. I'm not a big fan of either Green Day or RATM's music (nothing wrong with it, it's just not my thing), but I don't live under a rock. I've actually heard of the existence of American Idiot because I've been a warm body in America since 1977.
When someone like me who would rather listen to 1930s and 40s music knows enough about Green Day to not even bat an eye hearing this, these people are just drooling imbeciles. But then everyone here already knew that.
Got some 30s and 40s recs?
Sure. Lately, I have been listening to the Mills Brothers and early Ella Fitzgerald when she sang with Chick Webb's band.
Nice, not as familiar with the old trad pop stuff but I always like the early jazz
I love Ella Fitzgerald but I’m pretty new to her stuff. How do I find the stuff she did with Webb’a band? I’ve got Spotify and can download anything.
I don't know about it streaming. I bought this CD boxed set when it came out a decade ago and ripped it to my computer. Maybe it's on Spotify? Or maybe just look for a collection of Ella on Decca? Although she was with them until the 50s, I think.
American Idiot's commentary is rooted deep within the band. Minority is probably my favorite Green Day song... 'She' is a close second. The lyrics are incredible.
Reminds me of Jack Kirby, one of the creators of Captain America. He drew him punching out Hitler on the cover of #1. The US wasn't in the war at the time and American Nazis were not rare, even in New York.
Some dudes came to his office building and offered to fight him (they called from the lobby). Unfortunately for them, Jack had grown up fighting in the streets of Depression era NYC. He agreed and by the time his elevator reached the lobby they had run away.
or punk rock
Wait… even all of those songs about Margaret Thatcher?!
Man Bill Hader and Fred Armisen can really pull off a chav accent!
It's one of my favourite sketches, really captures the feel of a BBC music documentary.
songs about Margaret Thatcher
Based Chumbawamba, the EP in tribute of Thatcher was to be distributed on the day of her future passing, "and if you don't like it you can use it as a coaster or something."
I demand they go back to writing songs exclusively about masturbation and getting stoned!
How dare Green Day do the exact thing you would expect Green Day to do if you knew the first thing about Green Day!
It's like when Paul Ryan said his favorite band was Rage and Tom Morello wrote an oped about it
