Green Day - Outsider (Ramones Cover)

I've loved Green Day for 18 years now. I could go on about how great they are as a band and how impressive it is that they're releasing a new album this week (which I'm sure will be pretty amazing), but let me just say how one of the many things I love about this band is that they introduced me to other great music. Like Husker Du, Operation Ivy, Pinhead Gunpowder, Screeching Weasel, Crimpshrine, Pansy Division, ... the list goes on. And of course, the Ramones. If any old school punkhead wants to slag Green Day on being too pop or sellout, I say get over it. Green Day introduced me and hundreds of other people to the punk rock bands they loved, and now we too love these bands we might not ever have heard of.

We keep the torch going, we keep great punk rock alive.
