I can't help point out this error, though: Green Day formed and began their career in the Bay Area (Berkeley, specifically), not SoCal. Word has it they "came up" at 242 Gilman (off San Pablo), the same punk club that Operation Ivy played back in their day. In other matters: I'm not so sold on Franz Ferdinand that I think they outshine Oasis, but I'm willing to keep listening. I think that Dr. Dre rarely gets the credit he deserves as a hip hop producer. Very much agreed on American Idiot: a superb overall album. Green Day keeps getting better. For this lover of The Clash and intellgently simple yet bang-out rock, they continue to be a joy to listen to.
