Say what man?
I get it. Both are great bands but if you grew up listening to rock radio or have had jobs where there's a radio nearby that's on all day, you'll hear a handful of bands and a handful of those band's hits multiple times per day, everyday. It's why in my post I brought up Queen. According to the powers that be, Queen has about five songs that matter and trust me, you'll hear those songs weekly, some daily. I bet "Back in Black" and "Welcome to the Jungle" are played 10-15 times a week on any given classic rock channel across the country.

I like Green Day. The songs are simple, angsty and anthemic. Usually just a formulaic repeated power chord riff accompanying an outstanding rhythm section. They are definitely not for everyone, but good (not amazing) music.
That’s pretty much pop punk for you. Kind of what your getting into punk energy pop sensibility

FM radio has driven pretty much any song that was once worth listening to, whatever genre may float your boat, into the ground.

I didn’t realize there was Van Halen hate. Do you hate all of it, the David Lee Roth stuff or Hagar stuff?
The first Van Halen album blew me away.
I don't hate them but I only really liked a couple songs out of their entire catalog(I can't remember the 2 songs right now but both were Hagar and had "Love" in the title). Amazing musicians but, to me, their songs were very forgettable.

Well sue me I guess but I’ve always had a soft spot for REO Speedwagon and Foreigner. Both have some of my favorite guilty pleasure songs and deep catalogues of them.
I like some on his list, but can see how others might not, but as I said ... was surprised to see YES included. I liked REO, especially in concert. "Riding the Storm Out" is tremendous LIVE !!

Hey Nineteen-Steely Dan.

When I was young my sister had a dance class and this was her recital song. The months of listening to practice in the house in winter made me despise that song.

Oh I will add: I don’t think there’s a single Journey song that I like. I find them unrelatable and corny.
First three (3) albums before Steve Perry joined and they became more of a singer's band, they were a progressive rock band and vastly different ... and pretty decent. They morphed into a love ballad band that greatly appealed to chicks after Perry arrived.

Why can't this be love is a Sammy song and it rocks

I love pretty much a lot of the 90's music and some early 2000's and most today I would turn if it came on my radio. Problem is I listen to apple music on apple car play so it's all the music I want to listen to anyway.

I think it’s cool he owns a huge ranch and is just like an old dude who loves the outdoors. Never spent his money on real frivolous things or craved the spotlight to me. Old school.
He's remained true to himself and his roots. I'm glad he' still around and still making good music.

General rule with a few exceptions and sorry if it sounds sexist, but if a lot of women like it--it's likely not that good.
