Well, this is probably true. Green Day are huge, and always have been.

You honestly think Green Day is better than the Dead Kennedy's or the Ramones?

Yes.

And obviously so do most of the voters in the magazine.

The only reason they won is because a bunch of Green Day fan sites go their readers/users to spam the voting.

Well sounds like there are either a) more Green Day fans or b) they are more diehard fans either way since it was a poll there is no cause to complain about it. Obviously not everyone is going to agree who is #1.

LOL.

They shouldn't have even been in the running!

Shouldn't you have to actually be punk to be named the #1 punk band?

I like some Green Day (very little), but this is just rediculous.

Rolling Stone is fail. Always has and always will be.

I kind of like Green Day. But best punk band? Seriously?

You kind of like Dookie. If it goes beyond that, just end it.

Which is also wrong. Their fundamental contribution is noted, and nobody is a bigger fan of English Punk. I can name bands most of you haven't heard. But Im sorry, Ramones should be at #1.

No, the original punk scene from England & UK82 are the ones that mattered.

Check your dates. And you really dont want to go head to head with me on this, just going to make you look stupid. And I dont need pics of cats to try and do so. I was actually alive in the time period we are talking about.

I mean what, you saw 24 hour party people and your an expert?

Rolling Stone themselves clearly imply they don't agree by explicitly mentioning they got a serious boost due to a Green Day fansite and Green Day themselves rallying to vote.

They shouldn't have included them as an option then.
