Green Day gets so much shit but one positive thing about them is that they have always gone above and beyond to try and help other bands get more recognition. Screeching Weasel, Pansy Division, Crimpshrine, Husker Du, and all the Lookout! bands just to name a few. Green Day turned me on to a lot of really good music.

I was at one of the first GD shows at Egg Plants house. After the show I went up to Mike, who I didn't really know but we were both Benicia people, and said "You are incredible...you sound like Husker Du". Mike said thank you and I think I only spoke with him, just a comment, outside Gilman, one more time. I am from Mpls I had seen Husker Du many times and many Gilman bands including Crimpshrine, Op Ivy, Isocracy, and others. Only GD that day was like Husker Du.

The Huskers helped punk and helped put Mpls on the map, and if Green Day exposed young ones to it, all the better.
