I was driving to work about a year later, listening to KFJC, and they played a track called "Basket Case" off of the new album by Green Day. I was blown away. It was exactly how I would have liked to have my band to sound in my wildest dreams. I bought the album after work, and have been a die-hard Green Day fan ever since.

Green Day is unique, because they haven't radically changed their sound over the years. They've just gotten better, delivering exactly what their fans love. It goes without saying that they have changed the music scene, and made the once dreaded "punk rock" socially acceptable, and in fact the dominant genre of music in younger circles today.
