Beginning with the critical praise received when their debut album Dookie won the Best Alternative Music Performance Grammy in 1994, Green Day seems to have more awards on their mantle than most any other group. As evidence of this, Dookie has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide since its release. More than ten years later, Green Day once again made a big Grammy splash with American Idiot capturing the Best Rock Album award in 2005.

About Green Day
Over the years, many of Green Day's most memorable moments have seemed to take place at MTV’s Video Music Awards, where the California rockers won Best Alternative Video for (Good Riddance) Time of Your Life in 1998, and nearly made a clean sweep in 2005 when American Idiot earned them seven of the eight MTV VMA statues the trio was nominated for that year. American Idiot has attained quadruple platinum status since its release, having sold over eight million copies all over the world.
American Idiot was a surprisingly successful Grammy Award winning rock opera, which has not only topped record charts internationally while experiencing multi-platinum sales, but is also considered to be Green Day’s best reviewed work of their career. While celebrating the album's success, Green Day made appearances on multiple award shows, and also performed as part of Live 8 in July of 2005. Later that same year, the band released Bullet in a Bible, a concert album which documented the trio's huge Idiot live show.
After Green Day had regained their mainstream popularity, they made the decision to participate in several smaller projects before making the return to the recording studio. The group provided a cover version of John Lennon's Working Class Hero to the charity album Instant Karma, made a cameo in The Simpsons Movie, and, under the alias of Foxboro Hot Tubs, recorded an entire '60s-style rock-and-roll album.
Earlier in 2009, as presenters at the Grammy Awards, Green Day made the announcement that they would be releasing their eighth album, another ambitious punk rock opera which they recorded with veteran producer Butch Vig. Later, in May, 21st Century Breakdown was released. Having reached sales of over 215,000 copies in its first three days of availability, Breakdown seemed to take over right where American Idiot had left off with its nearly immediate commercial success.
Obviously a recurring musical phenomenon, even if you do not own any Green Day recordings, you have most likely seen them on shows such as Saturday Night Live, MTV's Total Request Live, or one of many popular music awards shows. No matter where you fall into line in your support of this band, their live show is something that should not be missed.
