Green Day.. I love the early stuff and my favourite song has to be Minority/Time of your life. And theres nothing wrong with voting for them because of American Idiot, 'cos that was a damn good album and they deserve to be highly recognised for it. I like Blink 182 but its more pop-rock.
I've replied almost this exact post with this:

I prefer Green Day. Blink's 'Enema of the State' got me interested, and I still like that album, but listening to more of them only clarified that they are a little too much just a funrock band.
Green Day may be flawed by repeating old tricks, but they do put more soul and intelligence in their songs, and have over all made far more memorable songs compared to Blink. I like that better.
By the way, for all you 'Uhhh, they both suck, you should listen to blablabla' winos; respect the topic of the thread and don't try to force a choice of music on others. One's taste is something personal and own.
