Green Day take over at top spot in Sodaheads "20 Best American Rock Bands of the 1990's"

By Tony /13 years ago / 0 Comments

[img=100211_basketcase.jpg]Since we posted about the Sodahead Poll a couple of days ago, Green Day fans have carried Green Day to number 1 spot in the pole! It's not clear on the site when (or if) the poll ends, but right now Green Day are comfortably on top with 48% of the votes. It's a bit of a surprising turnaround since the poll was centred around Pearl Jam.

You can still vote here. It also features Green Day's music video for Basket Case.

Go Green Day fans!
