wow, didn't know i had to run thread ideas by you guys. didn't know you guys ran the board. please send me the instructional guide and how to become elitist assholes like yourselves. dookie did something big for green day, and so did american idiot. same for joshua tree and AB for u2. what so nuts about my question? but i should have known. i posted a a remember john lennon and dimebag darrel thread on 12/08/09. the day they both passed. first or second reponse was oh, those two belong in the same sentence.So even a memorial thread gets a sarcastic response. what chance would any other thread have? and how is at least AB and American idiot not a good comparison? both were acts of reinventions and that made a mark for each band in the next decade after they made it. if AB, completely flops or never gets made, we are NOT on this message board right now. the band very well could have been done. American idiot made green day more then a just a 90's band. The other two, well, some still prefer dookie, the biggest seller, over any other album they made. Same can said for u2. Does u2 have more "other albums of somewhat lesser magnitude" . of course. But i really don't get how its so outlandish i would think of these albums in same way. I until now, did not attack anyone. I am now, but only after i'm just getting ripped apart. Proves most here are looking for a fight.
