Alfred's hierarchy is dead-on (although I'd make room for "Walking Contradiction" at the top, and I tired of "Basket Case" quickly)--in any event, Green Day ballads are the worst.

still not exactly sure what "Roam" people have been referring to and will just assume it's the B-52s

in honor of this thread I listened to the Green Day comp in the car -- man, it gets sludgy from tracks 10-16.

people, you're overlooking that the biggest problem with "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" is that it's called "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", it's liking calling a song "Gang of Dogs Playing Poker"
― Cyders from Mars (Noodle Vague), Friday, 25 May 2012 14:03 (twelve years ago) link
Would listen to that song, tbh.
― pplains, Friday, 25 May 2012 14:04 (twelve years ago) link
well obv it wd be better than "Boulevard of Broken Fucking Dreams"

Gotta demur on "Every Rose Has Its Thorn"--great! Even Marcus, who wrote a great long thing at the time decrying how the video represented everything evil and corrupt in pop music as Nirvana entered the picture, grudgingly conceded it was a good song (if I'm remembering his piece correctly).

no it's not because the second song would rule

regardless of how you feel about hair metal power ballads, '90s alt-rock power ballads are worse. i mean, fucking "Lightning Crashes" is in this poll.
― some dude, Friday, 25 May 2012 14:12 (twelve years ago) link
it always baffles me that people rep for "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", which is without a doubt one of the worst songs ever recorded in the history of mankind that doesn't feature blatant racism

You know, not to belabor the point, but especially a Green Day song called "Gang of Dogs Playing Poker".
― pplains, Friday, 25 May 2012 14:13 (twelve years ago) link
Hair Metal guys tended to have a good voice for the ballads whereas alt-rock guys wd just be grunting in a more sincere register

do you realize that if someone had just dropped a giant boulder on Poison back before "Talk Dirty To Me" came out, the world would be a much better place today

Not a good start to the long weekend: I reread the 21st Century Breakdown thread this morning because I forgot that Green Day released another album after 2004 and it was called 21st Century Breakdown.

you'd have to say Green Day's "animals engaged in popular pastimes" concept album's probly got a 50/50 chance of appearing eventually

they should title it Doggystyle, a concept album about being alienated and homosexual in a red state

To hear that tears me up insideAnd to see you cuts me like a knife
all responsible for these words finding public purchase should be taken out to sea and cast into the watery depths, fuck "every rose" forever

have we ever polled one of those "monster ballads" hair metal comps they used to advertise on tv?

Please tell me that is going to be like the KISS solo albums from the 70s.

please tell me that these are going to be salsa reinterpretations of the first two Led Zepplin albums and the third Chicago album

i do hope the third one is just a Tre Cool solo album, his stupid showboating drum solos >>> Billie Joe's songs at this point

I guess I should thank Poison for being so indescribably terrible that they drove me away from pop radio and into industrial and indie when I was 13
thanks Poison, you sad sack of shit for a band!
― that is a weird thing to bring up over lean cuisine (DJP), Friday, 25 May 2012 15:01 (twelve years ago) link
DJP this anti-Poison stance is not OK!
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Friday, 25 May 2012 15:02 (twelve years ago) link
the one thing I will grant Poison is that Bret Michaels is a better singer than Axl Rose
although really a dead turtle is better than Axl Rose, so I guess my stance is "Poison: about as good as a dead turtle"

my favorite Poison story:
as teenaged guys are wont to do, a bunch of us were hanging out talking about female musicians we thought were hot and one guy said "the drummer from Poison, man she's GORGEOUS"
