风格： Alternative Pop/Rock（另类流行/摇滚） Post-Grunge（后车库） Punk Revival（复兴朋克） Punk-Pop（流行朋克）
Green day乐队在美国另类乐坛的后“nirvana”时期崛起，实际“jam pearl”之后最有影响的乐队。本质上，“green day”是punk复兴者，复活了急速而简练的，3个和弦的punk流行歌曲。尽管他们的音乐并没有特别的创新，但他们用《dookie》奖70年代末的punk带给新的年轻的一代。“green day”未能保持住他们的成功——《dookie》卖出800万张，而它的下一张之卖了前者的四分之一，但是他们的影响甚为深远，是他们打开了美国新朋克，朋克金属和第三次ska音乐浪潮之门。

“Green day”身处南加利福尼亚州地下punk音乐圈中。同年好友billie joe armstrong(吉他手，主唱）和mike dirnt（贝司手，原名mike pritchard）在他们14岁的时候于加利福尼亚州罗德奥就组建了“sweet children”乐队。1989年，乐队招募了鼓手al sobrante，更名为“green day”。同年，乐队独自发行了他们的第一张EP《1000 hours》，得到南加利福尼亚州硬核朋克音乐圈里的好评。不久以后，乐队签约当地的larry livermore的独立公司lookout,并更换鼓手为john kiftmeyer。乐队的首张专辑《39/smooth》在第2年发行，该专辑仅用一天录制完成。此后乐队进行了一次国内巡演，kiftmeyer由于想完成大学学业而离队，乐队更换了新鼓手tre cool，他12岁时就受雇于larry livermore的lookout。
在整个90年代初期，“green day”不断扩大自己的追随者，1992年专辑《kerplunk》的发行更为之注入了能量。此时，armstrong在语言上对任何另类以外的东西的鼓吹都避而远之。他就什麽是当代美国所需要的答记者说，“少点体育，多点绘画；少点乔.蒙大拿，多点凡高！”乐队还与许多人合作，如“pinhead gunpowder”和“screadhing weasel”。armstrong还与另一只热门乐队“rancid”合作了《radio,radio,radio》。
《kerplunk》在地下的成功引起各大唱片公司的兴趣，乐队最后决定签约reprise。《dookie》，“green day”的首张大公司专辑发行于1994年春。多亏mtv电视台对单曲《longview》的支持，该专辑成为大热门。《dookie》在夏天继续升温，第2首单曲《basket case》在美国现代摇滚榜上5周高居榜首。同时，乐队在“五德斯托克94”上露面，更扩大了专辑的销量。第4首单曲《when i come around》在1995年初的现代摇滚榜上蝉联7周冠军。《dookie》最终在美国售出800万张，全球销量大1000万。他还获得1994年格莱美最佳另类音乐表演奖。
1995年夏，“green day”为电影《angus》的配乐“J.A.R”又获现代摇滚榜冠军。同年秋，乐队迅速发行了专辑《insomniac》。专辑开始走势不错，入美国榜第2，1996年初售出200万张。但是，没有一首单曲像前者那样成功。同时，“green day”以筋疲力尽为由突然取消了欧洲巡演。乐队开始休息并创作新的歌曲。但可以预言，“green day”以其“三分钟朋克”歌曲开创的市场还会维持并发展下去。1997年10月，乐队又出半了新专辑《nimrod》，虽然专辑减少了一些流行朋克的成分，但是快速，迷人的旋律仍然是他们音乐的核心。

Boulevard of Broken Dreams

[wmv]http://podcache.cctv.com/published1/2007/10/26/pub1193390439754.mp3[/wmv]

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know were it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Were the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone I walk alone
I walk alone and I walk a-
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Till then I'll walk alone
Ah..ah..
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's ****ed up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
I walk alone I walk alone
I walk alone and I walk a-
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Till then I'll walk alone
Ah..ah..
I walk alone and I walk a-
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Were the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a-
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Till then I'll walk alone

Holiday

[wmv]http://dl.duowan.com/gh/music/ee/Green_Day-Holiday.mp3[/wmv]

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame, the ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called Faith and Misery (Hey!)
And bleed the company lost the war today
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
Hear a drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find the money's on the other side
Can I get another Amen? (Amen)
There's a flag wrapped around the score of men (Hey!)
A gag, A plastic bag on a monument
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
"The representative from California has the floor"
Zeig heil to the president gasbag
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel tower
who criticized your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass man
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause
Just cause because we’re outlaws
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday
