Throw In The Towel Already!





As much as I love music from the 90's, the bands trying to "bring it back" should stop while they're ahead. I'm sorry, but theres some bands that just really kill themselves in trying to keep up with the music trends. I know you were HOT in the day, but times are a changin' and you trying to "re-invent" yourselves just isn't working out.
Don't know who I'm talking about? Oh I'll fill you in.



Green Day! Seriously? You were AWESOME in the 90's! The release of Dookie in 1994 won a Grammy for "Best Alternative Album" in '95! Everyone STILL loves "Basketcase", "Longview", and "When I Come Around", we're still playing those at parties and they're still on the radio! Seriously, because of that album, you were invited to Woodstock of '94. WOODSTOCK! Do you honestly think you would be invited with your stupid American Idiot, Stop Drop and Roll!, and 21st Century Breakdown alubums?! I'll give YOU a 21st century breakdown: STOP! You were so much better in the 90's, PLEASE leave the business with what little pride you still have. "Redundant" and "Good Riddance" were two more awesome songs you poped out, when? oh yeah, IN THE 90'S!!! "Good Riddance" was used in an episode of Seinfeld (One of the greatest shows ever!) and two episodes of ER! AND you guest stared in King of the Hill, dude, the only thing you've guest stared in lately is The Simpsons Movie, and they MADE FUN OF YOU!!! everyone in the crowd threw cans and trash at you until you ended up in the acid filled lake! Yeah, that's how much we like you these days. You have totally committed musical suicide in my eyes.

Alanis Morissette, I'm not going to go all that tough on you concidering i absolutley love you and you ARE the female voice no matter what generation you're in and you realized you were on top in the 90's and it's not working out in the new generation, so you stopped before you could destroy your image. Nice. You rocked my world with Jagged Little Pill. I loved every single song on that album, and still do. Jagged Little Pill remains the best-selling debut album by a female artist in the U.S., and the highest selling debut album worldwide in music history, selling 30 million records worldwide, with hits like "You Oughta Know", "All I Really Want", "Hand In My Pocket", "Ironic", "You Learn", and "Head Over Feet". The album won six Juno Awards in 1996: Album of the Year, Single of the Year ("You Oughta Know"), Female Vocalist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year and Best Rock Album. At the 1996 Grammys, she won Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, Best Rock Song (both for "You Oughta Know"), Best Rock Album and Album of the Year. Morissette came out with another album in 1998 that also did really well. But after taking a break and trying again to produce yet another album in 2004, she proved to be quite a let down. But I Guess she noticed this and went back into the studio to re-make Jagged Little Pill acousticly, which is pretty good. So congrats on realizing that you rocked the 90's!
As a break from the criticizing, you want to hear a super ticked female, listen to Alanis Morissette. shew! I <3>

So in closing, Green Day, you are looooonnggg overdue to STOP singing. Alanis Morissette, I now respect you even more, which I didn't even think was possible anyway.


We salute you, Alanis Morissette, for your ability to swallow your pride and throw in the towel while you're still on top as the leading voice of all ticked off females worldwide. Job well done.
