I love American Idiot personally ; last year I was thrilled to see the show! And 21st Century Breakdown as well, I adore. Buuuut that is because it sort of was just all the things i loved about the band, coming out in a great new package xP.

I heard Basket Case when I was little, but I didn't really know it. Honestly, I don't remember much from then o_O. I was fourteen/fifteen (late 2004/2005) by the time I started getting really into them. I did know their stuff prior to that - or at least a good portion of their singles - but didn't realize it, as I hadn't really been paying attention!
