[QUOTE="Floyd, post: 886, member: 1"] Their debut was 39-Smooth. The album was released back in the early 90s - back when we felt from the smokers of the crap-ass hair metal. Hardcore punk was an ok movement - I liked Black Flag and that ian Mackaye band... I think it was called Minor Threat. Wait, I check Google. Yep. Minor Threat. And Fuagzi. Who could forget Fuagzi" Not if Billy Joe, Mike and Al Sobriante (washed up nobody) wore their influences on their sleeve then maybe the crap punk they made now would be forgiven. This is not heavy though. Minor Threat attacked drugs with Straight Edge. Descendents spoke about the social inequalitys with "I'm Not a Loser". But Green Day apparently smoked pot, got horny and jacked off. Just like any other teenage r in So Cal. I think I've rambled on too much already, so I will go on and now discuss Green Day's debut album, 39-Smooth. It was released in 1990 on indie label Lookout! records. 1.
