this is quite a difficult decision for me as i like both bands immensly at the moment although i can say i havent like them for that long. I can say though that i had always thought that blink 18's song are a lot more fun to listen to than greenday, although greendays album is great...i think i will have to go with blink 182 greenday come a close 2nd...lol, come on people who;s your fave?

It would have to be Green Day. I've liked them for a long time and the angry post-punk (?) sound it great. Try listening to some of their earlier stuff.

Stand out tracks for me would have to be Basket Case from Dookie, Macey's Day Parade from Warning and one of my all time favourites, Good Riddance..(Time of your life) from Nimrod.

From the current album it would have to be Boulevard of Broken Dreams. The intro is superb!

Green Day - definitely - great tracks, 'Nimrod' is an excellent album.

don't know so much green day, but blink 182's 'enema of the state' is fantastic.

No debate.

Greenday are a genuinely great band. Blink 182 are an average, novelty band.

They both wish they were The Sex Pistols though.

GreenDay 100%. Blink182 are good too, but not in the same league IMHO!

Ooh, I'm a big fan of Green Day’s music at the moment. Have to say that both bands are kinda good, but I don't like Blink 182's songs so much. "All the small things" was lovely, but the new stuff sounds boring to me. Green Day's songs are nearly always absolutely fabolous, and their lyrics are the only true thing to me at the moment.
I don't have a Blink 182 album so I can only talk about their singles. Most of them were okay, but I hate "I Miss you" and that new one too, I forgot the title.

Rubbish.

For anyone who knows anything about Punk Rock. Greendays obvious influences are Sham69, Stiff Little Fingers, The Who and the kinks, and of course the Ramones.

If you are at all familiar with these bands and familiar with greenday, this should be plainly obvious.

Greenday sound nothing like the Pistols and never have.

Maybe the Sex pistols are the only other Punk Rock Band you have heard of ?

Incidentally Steve Jones from the sex Pistols always used to have his guitar and amp setup to sound like Johnny Ramone.... So it all comes back full circle to the Ramones.

Blink182 are selling records off the back of the proto-punk explosion that broke when Dookie went multi platinum and invoked the pop-punk revival of that period.

Other benificiary's of this was sum41, new found glory good charlotte , Bowling for soup, and all the other cookie cutter pop punk bands that have come out of the woodwork since then.

Right down to the kiddie friendly busted and McFly.

..and that ends todays lesson.

I'd pretty much go along with that.

Greenday are a good band but I don't think they're anything like The Pistols.

Blink182 have done a few half decent tracks but they're pretty poppy at the end of the day.

Sigue Sigue Sputnik were the ultimate Wanna-be-hi-tec-Pistols .... and were truly pish and thankfully didn't last very long.

i love both (im going to the Green Day concert tonite) and have loved both of them for years.
Id say that Green Day are more talented (well Bille Joe at least)
But i was a MASSIVE Blink 182 fan at one point because alot of their music related to me personally
But i really cant choose between them, they both a alot of brilliant songs that i love equally as much.
anyway, lol...

just realised i contradicted myself in another thread...lol i said that greenday are the best band ever, but i said that i prefer blink 182 to greenday, so therefore i must change my other answer all together

Its gotta be Greenday. Although i own B182 albums aswell, Greenday's catalogue is far superior.

Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) probably my favourite song ever
