Although Green Day's taut, three-minute, guitar-driven songs ably revive the fierceness of the group's stylistic progenitors (the Who, the Clash and the Sex Pistols), punk's original aim — to annoy, outrage, shock — is not Green Day's thing.

Friends since age 10, Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt grew up in Rodeo, California. They formed their first real band, Sweet Children, at 14. When they were 17, the pair first recorded as Green Day, signing with the punk label Lookout and releasing the 1989 EP 1,000 Hours with drummer John Kiffmeyer. The next year, the group recorded its first full-length album, 39/Smooth, in a day. Two more EPs followed, with Kiffmeyer leaving to focus on his studies and Tre Cool, with whom Armstrong had played in a band

called the Lookouts, taking over on drums for 1992's Kerplunk. With a solid fanbase built on the nurturing, all-ages hardcore scene in Berkeley, the group signed with Reprise in April 1993. Its 1994 release, Dookie, proclaimed the next generation of punk, hitting Number Four on the album chart, buoyed by the band's effervescent presence on MTV and at Lollapalooza and Woodstock '94. The album won a 1994 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance and sold 10 million copies worldwide.

The 1995 follow-up Insomniac sold nearly 3 million copies and charted at Number Two, but failed to repeat the success of the band's major-label debut. Nimrod (Number 10, 1997) sold a million copies but won fresh exposure for the group, largely on the strength of the ballad "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)." In 2000, Green Day released Warning (Number Four), a more introspective, even folk-influenced record that showed the group stretching artistically. Despite producing the radio hit "Minority," the album was a commercial letdown, selling fewer than a million copies. Two compilations followed: A best-of, International Superhits! (Number 40, 2001), and the B-sides round-up Shenanigans (Number 27, 2002).

By the early '00s, there was a growing consensus that Green Day's cachet was in decline, as evidenced by the band's slowing album sales. That belief that was put to rest with the release of American Idiot (Number One, 2004), a multiplatinum, Grammy-winning rock opera with political overtones that restated Green Day as one of the biggest musical acts in the world. Produced by Rob Cavallo, Idiot is grandiose — two of the songs are multi-part suites that clock in at nearly 10 minutes — but never show-offy. Five singles were released, all of them hits: The title track (Number 61, 2004), "Wake Me Up When September Ends" (Number Six, 2005), "Holiday" (Number 19, 2005), "Jesus of Suburbia" (Number 27 Modern Rock, 2005) and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" (2004), the latter a ballad that came one slot away from being Green Day's first Number One single.

Following extensive touring, Green Day recorded a cover of the Skids' "The Saints Are Coming" (Number 51, 2006) with U2, which was released to raise awareness for musicians whose lives had been disrupted by Hurricane Katrina. In 2007, the band appeared on both American Idol — where they performed a version of John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" (Number 53) — and in The Simpsons Movie. That year the band also began a side project — that they at first kept secret — called Foxboro Hot Tubs, a group that also features Jason White, Josh Freese and Kevin Preston. In May 2008, the band issued its first LP, a garage album called Stop Drop and Roll!!!, and went on a brief tour. Armstrong also revived his other side project, Pinhead Gun Powder, who played their first show since 2001 in February 2008. ]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7501250&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss Pop Punk Wed, 6 Jan 2010 12:56:05 -0800 Top Pop Punk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7501250 art.7501250 Paramore art.7501250 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7501250&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7501250&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss Riot! (Number 15, 2007) produced hits in the lurching "Crushcrushcrush" (Number Four Modern Rock; Number 54 Pop, 2007) and nimble "Misery Business" (Number Three Modern Rock; Number 26 Pop, 2007).

Paramore formed in Franklin, Tennessee, after guitarist Josh Farro and his brother Zac met Mississippi transplant Hayley Williams at the private school they all attended and broadened their new friend's musical horizons. Adding bassist Jeremy Davis and rhythm guitarist Jason Bynum, the band played its first gigs in early 2004. Within six months they were signed to Florida-based indie label Fueled by Ramen, home of Jimmy Eat World and Fall Out Boy.

Paramore's 2005 debut All We Know Is Falling reached Number 30 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart and created a buzz and critical kudos for Williams' strong vocals and songwriting. In late 2005, Bynum was replaced by guitarist Hunter Lamb, who left the group in early 2007 (they carried on as a four-piece). The band's highly anticipated 2007 follow-up Riot! received generally favorable reviews and shot to the Top 20 on the strength of its two biggest singles and videos. The band was nominated for Best New Artist at the 2008 Grammy Awards. Though the group is Christian, they don't consider themselves to be a Christian-rock band and tend to keep their faith out of their songwriting and interviews.

As the band began to attract more and more media attention, speculation arose that they were suffering from a problem that plagued No Doubt in their early days, and Paramore began expressing displeasure with Williams being the focus of magazine articles. In early 2008, the band, which had experienced personnel shakeups from early on, pulled out of a U.K. and European tour supporting Riot! due to what it termed "internal issues." They went on to co-headline a set of arena dates with Jimmy Eat World and assured fans they were not breaking up in a series of interviews and candid blog posts. In summer 2008, the band embarked upon their fourth Warped Tour as well as a headlining trek of amphitheaters. ]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44058&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss Pop Punk Fri, 1 Jan 2010 10:23:50 -0800 Top Pop Punk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.44058 art.44058 blink-182 art.44058 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44058&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44058&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6513639&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss Emo/Hardcore Wed, 6 Jan 2010 12:56:02 -0800 Top Pop Punk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6513639 art.6513639 Fall Out Boy art.6513639 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6513639&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6513639&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss Folie a Deux. - Rachel Devitt]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.9637431&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss Pop Punk Wed, 6 Jan 2010 12:56:29 -0800 Top Pop Punk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.9637431 art.9637431 All Time Low art.9637431 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.9637431&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.9637431&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss The Party Scene and So Wrong It's Right, on indie labels in 2005 and 2007, respectively.

The idea of rock superheroes is key to the band's success: Singer Gerard Arthur Way graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York City in 1999 and was working as a comic-book animator when the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 made him to rethink his priorities. Deciding comic books were getting him nowhere, Way quit his day job and along with high school friend and drummer Matt Pelissier formed My Chemical Romance. The band was named after the Irvine Welsh book Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance and its early- lineup was fleshed out by Way's younger brother "Mikey" on bass, Ray Toro on lead guitar, and Frank Iero on rhythm guitar.

Within three-months of forming My Chemical Romance had recorded and released their 2002 debut I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love on New Jersey indie label Eyeball Records (who had also signed fellow Garden State emo rockers Thursday). On the strength of tracks like the pummeling 9-11 lament "Skylines and Turnstiles," the band quickly signed to Reprise Records. 2003's Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (Number 28, 2005) produced a string of singles including "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" (Number Four Modern Rock, 2005), "Helena" (Number 11 Modern Rock, Number 31 Pop, 2005) and "The Ghost of You" (Number 9 Modern Rock, 2005) and sold over a million copies. MCR was one of the first bands to successfully pioneer the social networking website MySpace to market their music.

In 2004 Bob Bryar, a sound tech for the Used, replaced Matt Pelissie (who later opened Strong Arm Studios, in Harrison, NJ.)on drums. MCR spent much of 2005 on the road opening for Green Day and co-headlining the Warped Tour with Fall Out Boy. In 2006, as MCR was heading back into the studio to record its third album, the group released the CD/DVD Life on the Murder Scene, a documentary that included videos and live footage and sold 2 million copies.

In 2006 MCR released its most ambitious album to date: a bombastic concept album entitled The Black Parade, which sold 240,000 copies in its first week and propelled it to Number Two on the Top 200 Chart . The album's storyline revolves around the regretful reminiscences of a dying cancer patient (and includes a cameo from Liza Minnelli on "Mama"). The Black Parade polarized critics who either loved the album's grandiosity or hated its excesses though it too went platinum. Its singles included the Top Forty hits "Welcome to the Black Parade" (Number One Modern Rock, Number Nine pop, 2006) and "Teenagers" (Number 13 Modern Rock, Number 39 Pop 100, 2007).

In the spring of 2008 the band was enmeshed in a controversy after a British MCR fan committed suicide and U.K. tabloids labeled emo and the band a "suicide cult." The band released the following statement on its website: "My Chemical Romance are and always have been vocally anti-violence and anti-suicide. As a band we have always made it one of our missions through our actions to provide comfort, support, and solace to our fans...If you or anyone you know have feelings of depression or suicide, we urge you to find your way and your voice to deal with these feelings positively."

In July of 2008 the band released its second live CD/DVD compilation entitled The Black Parade is Dead! featuring outtakes from the band's fall 2007 Mexico City and New Jersey concerts. ]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7637076&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss Pop Punk Wed, 6 Jan 2010 12:56:02 -0800 Top Pop Punk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7637076 art.7637076 Panic at the Disco art.7637076 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7637076&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7637076&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. How did the music industry track down these innovative suburban high school talents? After hearing that Pete Wentz, bass player for the emo success story Fall Out Boy, was starting a new label, guitarist Ryan sent him a link to their website. Amazingly, after a few sampled tracks, this e-mailed URL led to being signed to Wentz's Decaydance/Fueled by Ramen records in 2005. Panic!

At first listen the remedial chord progressions, utterly nonsensical lyrics, and bizarre delivery sounded like the flailings of inept college rockers with a psychotropic casualty for a lead singer, but once the hooks were in, there was no escape. The Bostonians reminded everyone how to write a perfect, repetitive song that you knew by heart two seconds in. With wonder-twin powers Black Francis and Kim Deal writing paeans to sexually charged dementia, an idiosyncratic guitar sound, and what sounded like the Jolly Green Giant playing drums, the Pixies took the alt-rock world by storm, releasing four near-perfect records before self-destructing under the weight of their own talent, in 1993, after opening U2's Zoo TV tour. In their wake, Deal went full-time with her side-project the Breeders and began working on Last Splash, which would eventually go gold in the U.S., and Black -- as Frank Black -- starting penning a solo eponymous debut, which didn't fair so well. In 2004 -- with disparate and storied careers -- Deal, Black Francis, Joey Santiago and David Lovering reunited for a North American tour and several dates at European summer festivals.

Onstage, the frighteningly tall Joey lurched and staggered, dangerously close to falling and impaling himself on the mic stand, while bassist (and primary creative force) Dee Dee shouted "1-2-3-4!" to introduce every song. The Ramones command attention with the sheer energy of their fast and loud sonic onslaught. They love pure pop -- the kind produced by girl groups of the early 1960s and songwriters such as Brian Wilson. "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker," "I Wanna Be Sedated," and even "Pet Sematary" are absolutely infectious songs. By melding such hook-laden tunes with an aggressive stance, high volume, and no-frills songwriting, the Ramones became one of the most important rock bands of all time. - Will Lerner]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.58231&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss Emo/Hardcore Tue, 5 Jan 2010 10:38:47 -0800 Top Pop Punk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.58231 art.58231 Yellowcard art.58231 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.58231&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.58231&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss Ocean Avenue in 2004, which spawned a series of hit singles and went double platinum.

The band's melodic brand of post-adolescent expression draws on a number of these seemingly bipolar sources; Nielsen is nothing if not thoughtful and well-read.

Beginning with a 21st century take on traditional musician-finding, Nielsen posted a call for would-be band members on the Web in 2001. Soon, guitarists Garrett Zablocki and Dave Miller, bassist Mike Glita and aptly-named drummer Dan Trapp were doing the Jersey circuit and recording the tracks that became the From the Depths of Dreams EP (originally on RCA, later re-released with bonus tracks on Drive-Thru). After the disc's popularity and a long run of increasingly successful touring, Senses Fail were ready to make their debut album: Enfold (Vagrant) hit in September 2004 and helped lift the band's fortunes even higher. The "Rum Is for Drinking" video, along with high-profile slots on the 2004 and 2005 Warped Tours, kept Senses Fail's name in play. Clearly, high-concept stuff like "Irony of Dying on Your Birthday" and "Angela Baker and My Obsession With Fire" is touching their quickly growing audience. - Jaan Uhelszki]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5563&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss Skate Punk Mon, 28 Dec 2009 09:24:37 -0800 Top Pop Punk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5563 art.5563 NOFX art.5563 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5563&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5563&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss Liberal Animation on bassist Fat Mike's Fat Wreck Chords record label (and their subsequent releases on well-respected punk indie label Epitaph), they see more of the dough and pay for less of the schmooze-hounds' steak dinners.

They were immediately set upon by major labels, but they chose to sign with the Toledo, Ohio-based Doghouse Records, if only for the artistic freedom that being with an independent label would give them. Bemis dropped out of college to write and record this first record for Doghouse, which was a concept album about a "neurotic punk rocker" based on wholly on his life. However, at this stage of their career, the musician became increasingly subject to mood swings, far beyond the usual range of emo. Somewhere in the process of steering his ambitious punk-pop musical along with playing all the instruments (minus the drums), Bemis suffered a nervous breakdown and was institutionalized. A setback for the band indeed, but a step in the right direction for the auteur, who was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and received the help and support he needed in the midst of his personal (and public) soap opera. The erratic creation of this concept album finally stabilized with the help of producers Tim O'Heir (All-American Rejects, Dinosaur Jr.) and Stephen Trask (who wrote the songs for and produced Hedwig and the Angry Inch) who stepped in to help Bemis complete his vision. ...Is A Real Boy was finally released on Doghouse in 2004. Despite a few more setbacks involving ignored medication resulting in cancelled tours, Say Anything accepted an offer from J Records to reissue a remastered version of the disc in 2006 as Say Anything...Is A Real Boy (along with a bonus disc of spiffed-up demos originally recorded for an AIDS benefit EP that was leaked online). Say Anything now appears stable in terms of consistent lineup and tour schedule, but Max Bemis admits that he continues to walk a tightrope of passionate emotions -- a manic state of mental health that seems to contribute to the highly charged confessional songwriting -- but expresses cautious optimism on the band's website, telling fans: "so far, so good." - Michele K-Tel]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6594766&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss Pop Punk Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:25:03 -0800 Top Pop Punk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6594766 art.6594766 Cartel art.6594766 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6594766&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6594766&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpunk%2Fpop-punk%2Fartist-chart.rss Band in a Bubble following the success of their debut full-length Chroma.
