If anything greenday is underrated. For every 12 year old girl there, 3 bitter kids like you who are mad you don't have a CD out so girls won't hold up signs that say "I love [you]".
One of the finest melody-makers of the modern period, Billie Joe may not shred but he does know how to make a decent song, and seasons alot of his later works with a diverse background of music. Lets be thnkful he didn't anchor on to the cancer that is the punk ethos, in which punk bands/kids/critics all play king of the mountain with how punk they are. No better than the jocks you "rage against".
People all over are like "man greenday blows", no ones rating them highly, you know whos overrated? Radiohead, and until Q magazine burns away forever, they always will be.
