You're right, there were a lot of absolute crap punk bands that came out of the 90s. Saying Green Day was the best of the bunch is a little like telling someone they're the smartest idiot you've ever met though.

Lot of good points you make, I just don't have a prob with there music, I've been a die hard ever since Kerplunk ( I was like 7 when it came out and I believe it was the first cassette i ever bought! )
The only thing I really have to disagree with is the need for more money, they all have kids and stuff, and I never feel like you could make too much money. Plus, none of us really know how much money they actually make anyways.
