Vote for your 21st Century Icons!

I would say Avenged Sevenfold as a collective answer... but in light of the last few months I'd say the Rev. While he lived, he inspired a lot of people and in his loss it really hit home to live life to the full like he did. He just did not give a fuck and lived life pretty much to the full.

Like you said in your headline, a fucking legend.
:)

Hayley Williams. She is an icon coz she doesn't give a fuck tbh. she's not a girly type and she isn't a very boyish type. both genders can get on with herr thats what i love. plus she is SEXY duhh. her red hair is something we defiantly all love right? what isn't there to love about the funny, cute, amazing singer and pretty hayley williams!! :D

I would have to say my icon has ALWAYS been kurt Cobain. My mother was originally going to call my Nirvana until my uncle had rung her up in the middle of the night with the news of his death.

He was an inspiring man and made meaningful music which had saved me from doing many things I know I would regret,.

Kurt Cobain was a fucking legend and if you think otherwise you're blind!

I have do disagree here. Paramore is tasteless, and sure, Hayley is hot but who gives a fuck? being hot does not give you talent, and thats all people like her for.

It has to be Hayley Williams. I agree with Yazmin She made an amazing album with Brand New Eyes. I think shes without doubt the best

I guess you really dont know what true talent is?
Try listening to some Jimi hendrix or even Nirvana itself.
THATS talent.

Hayley Williams.

Either The Rev
Or Jared Leto- New album is great!
And amazing in concert

InMe's Dave McPherson went through hell and back over the last decade, InMe almost split up and he was the man to keep the band alive and possibly made 4 of the best albums of te last decade, so screw your overly famous people, Dave McPherson Is a true Icon of the century

WOOPS! i posted twice. XD she doessss have talent, are you that stupid not to see? her voice can go soft and powerful whenever she wants it to be. paramore are amazing. they have released three albums that have either been platinum or gold. they also give of a musical range etc, slow or upbeat.

i love each member of all time low, so much. Theyre so lively in concert and were awesome at K! tour :) i would deffinately go see them again!

I'm not gonna beat anyone down here but you wouldn't be choosing The Rev or anyone in A7X had he not passed away. I love them and all but since he died so many closet A7X fans appeared out of nowhere. I could be wrong but meh.

I'd say Itch and Jamie from King Blues. They work ridiculously hard and deserve to be where they're at, especially since they're headlining Shepherd's Bush now. Makes you happy when a band has come a long way. Not only are both their albums amazing but they have strong meanings in all their songs too. Punk and Poetry is gonna be amazing.

I'd also vote Mr. Jon Morter. The legend behind the RATM Xmas No. 1! I'm seeing Rage in June at Finsbury and had he not set up the campaign, I don't think I ever would've been able to see them!

Not sure who else. I could go off and say random people who I think rule, but they haven't changed my life to be quite honest.

Don't just choose people who 'brought out a good album' or 'don't care about anything!' because that's not changing your life in anyway.

my 21st century icon is Billie Joe Armstrong because he is an amazing songwriter! I just love Green Day and Billie Joe is a complete legend! :D

i agree with liam dave macphereson is an absolute legend! to go through losing members of the band, getting dropped by their label, suffering from allapisha and to still making some of the best music around is just incredible n id like to add that his brother greg should also be up there hes such an incredible bassist but never gets mentioned and such a nice guy even if he did hit on my girlfriend a little bit

Mine would probably have to be all time low's alex gaskarth or escape the fate's craig mabbit. They are both fucking amazing and are doing pretty good for themselves right now. And I think it's pretty cool how they both tour alot and they still hold a steady relationship. To be honest, I fucking love these guys <3

Mine would have to be Alexi Laiho from children of bodom because he is one of the greatest metal guitarists to ever live and he is in one of the best metal bands on the planet..I Would Also Put Randy Blythe From Lamb of God a Close second

Personally I would have to go with Mr. Jared Leto, unlike loads of little scene kids who jump up and down at concerts for Paramore or YM@6 and are bound to go with Hayley or Josh (nothing against both bands I enjoy their music) I think what you get with Jared Leto is a musician who is really able to connect with his many loyal echelon fans lknown as the MARS ARMY. I have got all 3 of their full-length records and still listen to their self-entitled debut 30 Seconds to Mars 2002 - The band have made 3 brilliant albums lyrically, they're unlike any other bands and there isn't a single song I have got bored to listening to up until this day. Oh, and really, no really, can any of you actually name me a better album that came out in 2009 than This Is War..I didn't think so!
Anyways I would also like to state the band's awesome work outside of music (A beautiful Lie video) raising awareness about Global Warming, the impacts it is having on our environment today and the many threats to the beauty that is natural wildlife (Abeautifullie.org) come maybe 100,000 years on when Earth is under water and all life around us vanishes forever we will have no one but ourselves to blame. In ending they are one of the best live bands, I saw them @Wembley on Tuesday and they played an awesome set, prohivito in altum kerrang!

My top 5 icrons of the 21st century will have to be Billie Joel Armstrong, Corey Taylor, Matt Tuck, Fred Durst, Dave Grohl

My top 5 icrons of the 21st century will have to be Billie Joel Armstrong, Corey Taylor, Matt Tuck, Fred Durst, Dave Grohl

Ok my nominations are, bearing in mind this is the 21st century, not the 20th: (not in order)

Rou + Enter Shikari - They are touching on the mainstream while keeping pretty darn alternative, and the messages about the environment and politics are pretty important. In Britian, these guys are doing a lot of good, even if you don't like the music.

Billie Joe + Green Day - Started the decade at the verge of collapse and at their lowest popularity since hitting the big time, but pulled together and not only refound fame, but had a defiant messege when no one else would say that kinda thing and have maintained their popularity, and BJA is, even if you don't like his music, objectively, a very good writer of songs.

James Hetfield + Metallica: They made a really shit album, then brought it back with a good one. James Hetfield has shown he can handle it all, and despite it all he has driven his band on to be the biggest they've ever been, and has pretty much mastered the live performance.

Matt Bellamy + Muse - The british breakthrough act of the decade. Their music is inventive, fresh and different, live they are simply a cut above, Matt gives everything back to his fans, he isn't afraid of sharing his (really wierd) interests with the world, he works his arse off and has shown himself to be THE guitarist of his generation, following in the footsteps of Jimi Hendrix and Slash and the like. Hard to Deny this man's place as one of the Icons of 21st Century rock.

Tom G. Warrior, as this decade he brought back the greatest band of all time and released an album worthy of it...Matt Pike, since High on Fire were the first metal band I ever heard and he opened the door to Sleep for me (also, the riiiiifffs!)...and Derrick Green, since he managed to mould a once-legendary band like Sepultura back into something great after a few less-than-stellar releases since Arise.

OK ,

rou + enter shikari , ok so they got me into this type of music because of their lyrics , they are so true and full of meaning, and they take time after a cancelled gig to M+G fans for like 4 hours? i call that true dedication. I just hope the mainstream doesn't take them over to much:/

It's gotta be Amy Lee, she's an absolutely amazing singer, she has an absolutely amazing voice, and she proved with The Open Door that she can write sad and happy songs. I think she's the best icon because she's proved that she has one amazing talent!

Deron Miller of cKy. His incredible riffs, amazing lyrics, battles with mental illnes and substance abuse. All of this man has done has inspired me and his music has stopped me from suicide and mad me lose 6 stone.

David Draiman and Chad Grey from Mudvayne are the greatest song writers of this decade. Where a lot of other bands have gone super emotive this decade, David and Chad still hold to the belief that their fans are smart and make them think at least a little bit about what the lyrics mean.

1. Beau Bokan, blessthefall
2. Telle Smith, The Word Alive
3. Craig Mabbitt, Escape The Fate
4. Ronnie Radke, Escape The Fate
5. Not 21st century, but Kurt Cobain, Nirvana

Micheal, i agree with you 100%. If the Rev didnt die, many wouldnt know about them. I've been a fan for 7 years. And, as you would know, they inspired so many people to do whatever they want. They inspired me to start playing bass and guitar (i wanted to do drums, but it's to much money and work. lol.) I will always be a fan.

On a brighter note, i would have to say my choice for artist would have to be Mike Portnoy. For those of you who don't know who he is, he is the drummer for Dream Theatre. He will be doing the drum tracks for A7X's new album, this was the Revs favorite drummer. Although i dont like Dream Theatre too much, i respect the fuck out of him. If he can fill the spot for The Rev, he's got all the respect in the world from fans. I know a lot of fans will hate him because "he's not Jimmy" but they will come to respect him over time.

your mum is my icon. suck it bitches.

also jared sucks cock

amy lee, she inspired me to become a singer im now studying a music course to become a singing teacher and also an event manager, she is such an amzing inspiration.
also ville valo for the very same reason my music is a mix of the two bands together i love them both so much and they really do have a meaning for me.

please kerrang you never put me in ur mag please post this

i would like to say amy lee and ville valo as both of these have inspired me to follow my dreams and take up singing, i didnt think i was very good but with some practise im now on an advanced music course with the hopes of becoming a singing teacher so i can help people like me who want to sing.

please kerrang you never post my comments and i doubt you will this time but it would be nice

gotta love that pop-punk classic 'uptown girl'
sings*uptown girl,she's been living in her uptown world...i bet she never had a backstreet guyyy!i bet her mother never told her why,i'm gonna try!*
heheh think you mean billie-joe!

ha lol i didnt think it posted the first time preferbly the bottom one tho xp

Gerard Way and Frank Iero
Their music means so much to me, and I dont know what I would have done without it.
They are in a life saving band. They didnt save mine, but they changed it. And I have to say they did to the better.

They has an amazing personality and he doesnt care if he's famous or not, he just wanna help people. Save lives.

Brendon Urie

He bewitched me with his amazing voice and looks. He's music makes me so happy, and I really love it.

same icon i'd have picked for 20th century icon.....dave grohl.

why?

because grohl is god :D

Well, two for me.
1. Billie Joe Armstrong. I can't even desribe him. He has really changed all my life - to the better. Saw them in Stockholm, are going to see them twice in june. He is a hero.

2. Brian Molko. Gosh, pure god. He has also changed my world pretty much.

Two best men ever, I will never be able to thank them enough

Honestly, there are so many bands I could name that have changed my life in the past ten years: Metallica, Pantera, Megadeth, Opeth, Between the Buried and Me, Otep, In Flames, Bleeding Through, All That Remains...

Growing up in a neighborhood were rap seemed to blast from every car and home, I tried to find music that I could get lost in. At that time I was playing classical piano but I couldn't relieve the aggression and bitterness I had from being a victim of sexual abuse. 18 and "emo," my ex introduced me to metal. Loved it. Got obsessed. Joined a metal band and incorporated classical music into the writing after listening to guys like (old) Metallica and The Human Abstract (when they had Aj). I haven't looked back since and I'm forever grateful for the solace they indirectly brought to my world.

...couldn't agree with this more.
all of these guys make such amazing music. enter shikari got me into a kind of music i wouldn't normally listen to, green day are my childhood heroes, and muse are just godly. and metallica goes without saying- legends.

Three Icons :

Gerard Way. He is a good frontman. He is great at what he does and has inspired and helped a lot of people during his time fronting My Chem. Also, My Chem are the reason i listen to my music now, if it wasnt for them, i wouldnt know any of it.

The Rev. One of the best drummers of this decade. He was amazing at what he did and he was a truly nice person.

Dave Grohl. He is one person that everyone looks up to. Why?
DAVE GROHL IS GOD :D

HE IS GOD. END OF.

HE IS GOD. END OF.

Corey Taylor - (Slipknot) Bought Slipknot from being just another metal band into a global phenomenon in the past decade.

Robb Flynn - (Machine Head) Machine Head looked to be on the way out at the start of 2000, two epic albums later and they're established as one of the best metal bands on the planet.

Bille Joe Armstrong (Green Day) - AI was one of the most important albums of the decade and GD are one of the best live acts on the planet.

Gerard Way (MCR) - The mastermind behind three of the best albums and one of the best concept themes in the 21st century and possibly one of the best live bands I've ever seen.

What's funny is that loads of these people don't realise they have to email their choices...

I'd recommend Maynard James Keenan. Some may say he was always an inspirational and eccentric figure before the 21st century, but I feel only with Lateralus did he really explore his own person as a figurehead, to achieve the cult iconic status he currently holds. As a vocalist and lyricist his talent certainly seems to know very few boundaries, and as a performer.....well the fact that Tool never fail to headline whichever festival they play says that which I needn't.

Failing Maynard James Keenan, I'd nominate James Hetfield. He seems to have finally rediscovered the fire of his youth, but without any form of compromise. He's been an angry, foul mouthed teen. He's tried to be an 'every-man'. He's been many things, but he finally seems to have found a balance between every positive aspect. Plus he took good note never to wear the dungarees from 'Some Kind of Monster' ever again. Metallica have been dominating the world over and over since Death Magnetic, but they wouldn't be an inch of what they are without James Hetfield at the helm.

Oh and wild card, Steven Wilson. If you've heard of him, you'll know why.

Also, do try to tame your tempers, talent or none, remember what this is a discussion about. Icons. Not musicians, not performers, but Icons. Cultural pyres of inspiration.........for whatever reason.

Kerrang!... i hate you for this!!!!
It has to be Jared Or Gerard, but i honestly can't choose. MCR where my first obsession (Thats what my friends call it anyway) and 30stm came along short after- which was 4+ years go.

There has been effing amazing albums done by the two bands..... but i just can't choose!
I just smile my effing head off when ever I hear their vocie's.
They both have an unbelievable connection with there fans and always involve them, no matter what.

So there you have it. That is my chocie and i'm not changing it!
Both of them!! ^-^

P.s.... I can't stop listening to 30STM's new album, next time you see them, tell them they did an AMAZING job!

Gotta be Gerard Way and all of My Chemical Romance. Their music saves lives, They know what we're going through. They never started the band for fame or fortune, they started to help people. So mmany people lives have been saved and changed by this band. I love this band and what they do for people.

has to be ville valo for me. after TERRIBLE past relationships and a few years of not feeling the best about myself, HIM are the only reason i still believe in love <3 u think its sad? totally, but its my reson XD

Easy, Emilie Autumn. Even though she has bipolar she still carries on with her life and doesn't give a fuck what people say or think about her. She deserves is so much more than Jared Leto Or Gerard Way or Hayley Williams!!!!

I have to completely agree. I have all three albums and absolutely love them - I don't think I could ever get bored of them. The lyrics for the songs he writes tell a story within the song and are amazing; in my opinion that's something that only great artists can pull off. I was at the Wembley concert on Tuesday and it was amazing.
Echelon is more than an army, it's a way of life. Provehito In Altum.

Billie Joe Armstrong,As soon as i saw the title 21st century icon i immediately thought 21st century breakdown he keeps rock alive yet writes about things that are true and opinion based in which some bands are not capable of doing in this modern era. Rock on Green Day the band that will never be able to leave my mind.

ok,
as good as Haley Williams is, and as cool as paramore are, they havent really been around for that long and they havent really done that much. Personally, my icons are people who are very experienced in the music buisness, or who were very experienced in the music buisness.
My icons are people like Kurt Cobain and Alice In Chains and Metaliica because Alice In Chains have been around for quite a bit of time now and theyre an exellent band who make great music. Metaliica have been around since the 80's so obviously have alot of experience in the music buisness, and they make great music and are very influential peolpe.
Kurt Cobain has to be my ultimate hero, though. He was so creative and a musical genius and his songs spoke to so many people in so many ways. to me, he lived a good life, but obviously he couldnt handle life anymore and it had all got a bit too much for him.
peolpe like Haley Williams and Jared Leto and The Rev and Gerard Way are great and really cool, But there are better peolpe in this music scene than them.

lol i hav 2 agre wiv ya on alex gaskarth, he's so talented =]
these are my other icons;
jack barakat
hayley williams
billie joe armstrong
dave grohl
corey taylor
=D

hayley williams all the way. ever since i got into paramore they inspired me but mainly hayley becuz i developed a huge crush on her. I still hope to meet her one day somehow. weather its when theyre on tour or amazingly out on the street.
Dont get me wrong though. bands like slipknot, green day, mcr, MM and foo fighters are epic as well.
But yeah shes awesome.
LOVE YOU HAYLEY!

i have to say, either the rev, or jared leto. the rev because, i did listen to avenged sevenfold and i loved it, but once id heard about the rev dying, it was likeee, devastating and i really started to thinkk about the awesomeness in there music. and jared leto because i just saw him live at the men, and he was absolutely freaking lovely! and many more bands, like all time low and mcr and slipknot and bmth :D and kerrang! note, i have a band for you i adore, yet ive never heard you mention them. bleeding through <3

Has to be Gerard Way and the rest of MCR. They actually saved my life with their music and always bring a smile on my face,I have to say bands like Green day Paramore Slipknot MM Foo Fighters and more are pretty brilliant as well >.<

Definetly Gerard Way he is amazing

Has to be Anthony Kiedis just because he's an amazing song writer and makes music that i can listen to over and over again :)

WTF JARED LETO!!! 30 seconds to mars are terrible. for me it is billie joe. Green Day have easily been the best bad of the last 10 years, or possibly Ian Watkins because lostprophets have made some of the best songs in the last 10 years.

30 Seconds to Mars singer Jared Leto is my 21st century icon as he has achieved so much since 30 Seconds to Mars were signed and I think he is a good icon to all of us, 30 Seconds to Mars are my all time favourite band and I would just love to see them get some recognition, not that they are not already appreciated. I have all 3 albums and never get bored of any of there songs, I think they're music has touched everyone in a different way, lyrically, emotionally and for some people, especially me, I resort to music as a sorce of comfort and 30 Seconds to Mars' music is always what I put on first. I saw them live in Bournemouth on Wednesday and it was the best day of my life, mental. Anyone who knows me knows that they are my favourite band and they are pretty much all I listen to. Their music tells a story and I think in a way everyone can relate to it, they have tought me and I hope others to chase after your dreams and I think that's why Jared Leto, on behalf of 30 Seconds to Mars, should be the 21st centruy icon.

he is an amazing insperational singer. and i'm really amazied by all the things he does for charity =)

matt tuck. (bullet for my valentine) when i first hear him sing about well along time ago i was sooo shocked i was amazed the whole band as changed my life since then and they will be with me for the rest of my life. there one frickin awesome band and matt tuck is one awesome guitarist, hes made me wanna start playign guitar myself and write some awesome songs. thanks man xxxx

Kurt Cobain was talented, of which there is no doubt, but his death was the greatest form of advertising ever devised, the man took the easy way out, consider men like Lemmy or Ozzy who've been living the lifestyle for four decades.

amen to that! emilie autumn has to be one of my biggest inspirations of all time because of everything you just said.

1. the rev
2. ian watkins
3. gerard way

Even though My Chemical Romance havn't been around so much lately, they have definately made an impact during the 21st century. They tought their fans that even though the world seems so screwed up, things can get better. Gerard Way was the living, breathing example. After years of drug addiction and alcoholism, he turned it around to make some of the most beautiful music the world has ever heard. 'Your memory will carry on', 'I am not afraid to keep on living', keep fans (like me) going most of the time. It is not only Gerard that has helped the fans as Mikey frank Bob and Ray have all played their part in making fans feel like no matter what, they will always be something or someone to live for. Way's collabeation with J-Rocker Kyosuke Himuro for a final fantasy movie was clearly the most inspirational song anyone has ever heard and it once again tought fans that even though his past was behind him, he still believed in teaching us to keep holding on. It is reasons like this i have now been playing bass for 3 years. For the past 9 years, I am privilaged to say I am a huge fan of My Chemical Romance. Thankyou

Dave Grohl.... the man is a rock machine!!!! come on how many great albums has he been a part of??? and who else can be loved by every corner of the music community... well except Courtney Love ha ha ha

Frank Carter of Gallows - Grey Britain really showed me how much shit this country has gotten into, and has made me want to make a difference. They're also the best live band around today.

Avenged Sevenfold
Fall Out Boy
All Time Low

:)

my icons of the 21st century have got to be
Within Temptation cause there fuckin awesome and also the band that first got me into metal
Marilyn Manson cause there my fav band of all time and even thougj all the bad reviews kerrang has given him last year i still think his new album is amazing
evanescence
slipknot and emilie autumn XD

Billy joe armstrong is deffo my icon, he's consistantly been an ambassador not just for the awesomeness of punk, but the rock world in general. As a guitarist and bassist, i can understand that their music isn't very complicated, but green day are the sole reason punk isn't dead tright now in my opinion, and green day wouldn't be green day without him.

I must say that hayley williams rocks so hard, she is amazing also!! And gerared way.....even tho i like mcr alot (i love them tbh :L) the fact is that unfortunately mr.way can't sing live at all really....

For me, it's gotta be Tom DeLonge. He's so inspirational & just amazing (:

I am suprised Charlie Simpson hasn't got a mention so far.
Sometimes trying to show the world your true colours, and having people treat you like a joke is just as hard.
Charlie gets my vote, for being the most honest and one of the most talented British frontmen.

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE :)

Max Bemis from Say Anything.

The man is a musical genius, and puts his heart into every one of the songs his band produces. There isn't a single song by that band that I don't like. Although he's had some rough times (drug abuse, being bipolar, etc.), he's made a great comeback with Say Anything's self-titled album. Say Anything and Max Bemis are freaking amazing, and if you've never heard of them, go listen to them now! It will change your life

^cant explain it any better , all my reasons for being an amazing man , band member ,
Jared leto also my idol

WAYNE STATIC!!!

Mark Hoppus...

I would have to say Blink 182, I grew up listening to them and to hear they were going on a hiatus was terrible, but the fact that they all came back to do what they loved because of a tragic accident shows that they still had passion for Blink 182 and could get long again. SWEET!

Mine has to be the whole of Paramore not just Hayley.They are my icons because their music is very meaningful and I love how they don't care what other people think all they care about is their Music,fans,friends and their family.Also like most people in music today they don't have an ego they just
appreciate where they are and how they got there.

Patrick Stump.

He is a musical genius and many people forget how talented he is.

Fall Out Boy are my world and Patrick is my God :)

Mark Hoppus of Blink-182
guy is just a legend! one of the best punk rock bass players ever! awesome towards the fans and brilliant live in concert!

The replys on this topic are depressing, and the exact reason why I no longer read Kerrang. I'm a fan of Paramore, YMA6 and so on but to claim they are the biggest musical icons of the last decade is beyond ridiculous.

Also to the nobhead who keeps going on about Kurt Cobain, he died in the 20th century, how the fuck is he the biggest musical icon of the 21st century?

Fuckwit.

the insane clown posse has made my life a lot better and tech n9ne gave me songs i could relate to like 'i love you but fuck you' or ' one good time'

HEY DICK 'TARDS...

...YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO EMAIL YOUR SUGGESTIONS TO KERRANG - NOT POST THEM ON HERE!!!

*shakes head in disbelief at how thick people are*

I would personaly pick anyone from avenged sevenfold. I have worshiped the band for about 3 years and love for them still going strong. They have helped me through 'SO MUCH' in my life and i abso adore them.

Then i would pick ... Ughh!! Hard pickings :S :(, Maybe Deftones Then Nirvana !? Xxo .

I'd say music has been my icon most of my life =]

paramore have to be one of the if not the best band of the last 10 years and hayley williams doesnt really care what people think tbh. I dont under why gerard way is there hes more like the champion for wannabe emo kiddies who slit themselves XD

And from my quick skimming only 1 person agreed with ANY of my choices.

1) Robb Flynn - He's so passionate about his music and fans he has to be
2) Dez Fafara - Same as Flynn
3) Andy Copping - The man is a legend! Look at what he's done for Download and Donnington!

They were followed closely by Portnoy and Zacky Vengeance for me (Yes Rev's death was a shock but Zacky got me into playing guitar!)

I fucking love A7x and have for about 3 years. It pretty much crushed me when The Rev died, and his death really made me appreciate the talent that I took for granted. So yeah, his death may have something to do with me mentioning him, but maybe people need to remember that death is a valid reason for giving someone the recognition that they deserve.
foREVer.

Jared Leto? are you serious

i love a7x for like 3 years and i cried about the rev for days so i am definately voting for the rev
foREVer

It may have been a typo but his name is Billie Joe Armstrong not joel

all of these guys have changed my life. their messages are so powerful and relevant and they connected with their fans, esp live, and they truely care, and they support charities (did anyone know that green day give $100 000 to a haiti charity?)
they write great music and lyrics and frank hasnt let himself be pushed into gerards shadow.

they are passionate and wanna help people. i think that says it all really.

its not all people like her for sure i thinks shes hot but i love her music aswell and she really has changed aload of peoples lives she changed mine

well considering they made one of the best albums of the last 10 years, i think Robb Flynn has to be one of them!!!!

I think Gerard way and Frank iero. I mean if it wasn't to my chem i would have never heard of bands like green day, MSI and loads more! They change my life and changed how i think. and i love them for that! :) What they have to say is just amazing. They tell you not to hate yourself even in the darkest of times and they always make me smile.
I don't know where i would be without them. FACT.

You guys REALLY don't realise you're supposed to EMAIL
i repeat:
EMAIL your replies in, do you???

Am emailing MY list, but Imma say it here anyway.

Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day.
There would be nothing for me if not for them.
Later, gutted pals :)

FUCK YEAH!!!
Rachel, you HAVE to email this in, yeah?

lol i am guna email this aswell btw ;)

Umm id say my icons are all the boys in bullet for my valentine,, i started listening to them about a year ago and they have changed my life \m/

davidGROHL is a legend - definetly my vote (:

AVENGED SEVENFOLD!!! Definitly my 21st Century Icon.

Mine would be Thom Yorke.
Just listen to Kid A all the way through, its mesmerising.

They are way past being just my inspiration, they're my life.

And The Rev as the most amazing person of the 21st Century

Seriously, why wouldn't they? They've become such a huge band over the past 10 years, and they've accomplished so much in them too. So, why not choose them? Plus, Jimmy as well. He's not only the greatest drummer, but his personality was something to be treasured in the past ten years.

So my vote, SEVENFOLD!

Mine would be Thom Yorke.
Just listen to Kid A all the way through, its mesmerising.

he all ways been my favorite drummer and i love him he is some one who have a kind heart funny and sweet

Jimmy was the best drummer out there, besides being a drummer, he was the best friend you could ever have.

he was my inspiration, for everything. a great drummer, an awesome singer. he is the music in me.

Tbh. Non Of Us Care What You Think Of Paramore! If They Were So Crap Do You Think They'd Get This Far In Life! I Bet Your Just A Hobo Who Still Lives With Your Mum!

Hayley Williams can suck on my cock that i dont even have..... -_-

Zacky Vengeance for the win....he's an unreal human being, gives so much time for fans, no matter what. To be honest it'd also should go to all of Avenged ..... and yes Jimmy, he was THE most caring person ever from what i heard ...and it's really unfair that he left us so early....

Outside of Avenged ....JAMES HETFIELD :) do i even have to explain why ?? no.

Paramore definitly for me i never thought there would b a band to contend with Slipknot for my faves but paramore did and i just cant stop listening to them

yeah i think that kurt and the rest of nivarna are iconic and there music was AWESOME

Well, Gerard, of course. He changed with My Chemical Romance so many people's lives, including mine. He's so talented, he sings, he drawns, he writes comics and lyrics. He's too awesome. I don't need to say too much, my chemical romance's fans understand why.
I voted for Frank Iero too. He's actually my hero. Again, my chemical romance's fans understand how much he means. :D
And I voted for Amy Lee, she's my favorite female singer, she's dark and cute at the same time, her voice, her music... She's incredible. *------------*

i think that you cant really pick because theres just so many iconic muisicians out there but my all time fave bands must be green day, enter shikari and you me at six because there all just so lively and fun live

Totally agree with Vivi! Gerard Way is just amazing & Frank Iero is bril too! and he's pretty young as well!

I think that were just all thinkin of singers what about rob bourdon he must be one one of the best drummers ever!

I don't know how to word it, but RA heped me so much. They opened my eyes. Especailly Tim. They're inspirational. <3

*helped LOL

the rev, easily one of the best drummers this far into the century.
he proved himself, not only as a drummer, but a singer (with, truly, incredible backing vocals) and, of course, a songwriter (having written the vast majority of a7x songs).

i think each and every member of A7X are icons. they are all my icons.

especially m. shadows. he's such a talented vocalist, his sound is so much different than others and more recognizable.

and the rev. he was such an amazing drummer. he is definitely one of the best drummers ever.

syn gates. omg his guitar solos are insane! he is so creative with the way he plays guitar. it stands out.

and johnny christ can play the shit out of the bass. he just provides so much energy and he is so talented.

zacky vengeanceeee! omg. he is so awesome at the guitar. i think he just all around kicks ass from playing the guitar. to singing backup.

<3

Avenged Sevenfold keeps me sane.

Has to be the Rev what an amazing talent on drums and as a musician taken to early. R.I.P see you in the Afterlife

GERARD WAY AND JARED LETO...THEY ARE LEAD SINGERS FROM THE BEST 2 BANDS IN THE WORLD (FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW = MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE & 30 SECONDS TO MARS) THEY ROCK

GERARD WAY AND JARED LETO...THEY ARE LEAD SINGERS FROM THE BEST 2 BANDS IN THE WORLD (FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW = MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE & 30 SECONDS TO MARS) THEY ROCK

It has to be Avenged Sevenfold because they've been through it all and have helped a shitload of kids throughout the years of being a band! They are also amazing artists and of course very talented too (:

Also the Rev, even though he's gone I still think he shound be part of this because he was an amazing talented musician and a lot of people have looked up to him as an artist (including me) So yeah either or would be great! foREVer! (: R.I.P Jimmy xx

AVENGED SEVENFOLD.

AVENGED SEVENFOLD. They have come a long way, jumped alot of hurdles and they just keep rockin. Every album of theirs has a different sound to it and us the fans can't get enough of it. We can't wait for this next one to be released to see how it sounds.
R.I.P. Jimmy 'the rev' Sullivan
forREVer

I totally fuckin agree. DEATHBAT FOR LIFE.

For me, it has to be the whole of Kill Hannah and specifically Mat Devine. I think the band have such an individual sound and aren't afraid to do things differently. They are also so good to the fans of the band as they realise they would be nowhere without them and being part of the KHK has been a fantastic experience. They have continued through events that would have made weaker people give up, like their bus fire and having all their equipment . All of their songs are so inspirational and have helped so many out of darker times in their lives.

I would also say The Rev, just because he is a fantastic drummer, an all round good guy and a true inspiration to drummers and others around the world. RIP.

Ozzy osbourne FTW!!!!!!!!!!
failing that Gerard Way or even Billie Joe from Green day :)

I'm sorry, but saying that hayley williams is talentless is just incorrect. Listen to the likes of All I Wanted, Conspiracy and Careful, then come back to me. And everyone has their own taste, so they're not tasteless. I daresay the roughly 4 million people who've bought their albums disagree with you, too.

avenged sevenfold because.... i cant explain they just rock everyones fuckin sox off :P u knw it xx

I think Avenged Sevenfold because they're awesome musicians. The Rev was an awesome drummer also, he was talented beyond words, one of the best in my opinion.RIP

well hayley williams is my icon, i would have to say out of the choices. because yeh, she doesnt care and she loves it for the music so how are paramore tasteless?! she has an amazing voice unlike other crap and the other members are really good too so like wtf!? x

totally agree with emily up theretom delonge is very influential on me too not because of just Blink 182 but Angels And Airwaves as well.

spot on about The Reverend Ashley A7X is so talented and they know how to throw down a good time when touring the world!

Knowing fucking kerrang though they'll either give it to fucking Gerard Gay or Hayey Billions (since kerrang rape paramore nowadays).

it just has to be no he doesn't do like lenghty solos but by god is the man creative when he's shredding and sweep picking on guitar! no only because he's so impressive on his guitar but he looks like a very down to earth guy believe it or not he actually makes me chuckle shit loads when you see his interviews!

Avenged Sevenfold

I know these guys deserve the spot because their hard work has really showed how much they appreciate their fans and music. Their music has meaning and each song represents a different situation. Their music is powerful,and not regrettable. They really believe in themselves and others,and for what they do has changed many of peoples lives because it's like they're telling you everything happens for a reason,and to never take anything,or anyone for granted.And that they know how hard it can be, because they been through the same situations,and proved that if you trust yourself and don't give up,you can make it.

Avenged Sevenfold has to win for the best 21rst century band because they made history to metal, they're always trying something new on every album they make, and they're not scared to do it because they know is a piece of art. No other band is like them. there will never be a band as creative as Avenged Sevenfold.

R.I.P The Rev

I have to disagree on 'choosing a7x or the rev because he died'. Since I found a7x three years ago, the Rev has been my favorite and I've spoken to him as well. He's not 'talentless' and 'an idol because he's dead'. He had real talent and a real sense of what he was doing. All of a7x is amazing; they're all very talented and keep growing as a band constantly.

Other than a7x, I would have to say Linkin Park. They've been around 10+ years and still put out really amazing stuff.

Avenged Sevenfold has been there for me when my father figure and unlce died just a few weeks before Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan. So it helped to know they were going threw the same thing and still held it together. If not for them my funeral would have been 1 1/2 after The Revs. One heartbreak after another A7X's music inspires me to live another day just to see the ones I love and adore. No matter how many times I say it me and my family couldnt thank them enough for completely changing my mind about life and death R.I.P and best of wishes go out to the fans, family and the band.

Just amazing! Their music has inspired me so much. Hayley Williams is just WOW. I got an obsession with Paramore, went to see them, i won a meet and greet!!!!!! AMAZING!!! She even dedicated a song to me!!! Hayley is just so amazing, the music her and the band makes is incredible, really got me through some tough times. I can relate to alot of the songs. Just...AMAZING!!!!

My favourite band with the most underrated members - The Rev, extraordinary drummer, singer and composer, and of course Synyster Gates - the next Slash! They've changed my life completely. They are not the best band ever in fact, but they're still close to this honour, in my opinion : )

Jared is amazing!!! he is such a good musician and connects with fans at his concerts. He helped me personally to become a much happier person, so thank you jared!!! :D x

I don't feel particularly affected by the whinings of Paramore or the same old same old guitar riffs from Avenged Sevenfold, so sue me. Nor do I berate those who do. I'm constantly looking for new bands and anxiously awaiting new material from old favourites. My music taste extends from meaningless tripe like 3OH!3 to the hard hitting lyrics of Underoath. I don't think music has changed my life-c'mon, it's only melodies and vocals-but it has acted as a release. Things change, but my music is constant.

EMILIE AUTUMN...mainly because shes awesome and shes brought me into a different genre of music and her lyrics are just amazing and people can relate to them :)

Gotta be... Matt Bellamy, Dave Grohl, Mark Hoppus and Billie Joe Armstrong.

Good shout out for Tim McIlrath! Rise Against are a wonderful band.

I put Dave Grohl as my choice further up this forum, but I wanna add Frank Turner as my second choice, amazing songwriter who truely speaks to our generation.
Plus Million Dead were the bees knees :D

The boys from Green Day have definitely changed my life, for the better. They're amazing, and they will continue to inspire many others with their music, talent and of course their witty side. Tre Cool is fabulously witty, an amazing drummer and he is a fabulous performer. As are Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt. You can just see the passion oozing off them when they're on stage and that's awe inspiring to watch. Plus, they can pull off wearing dresses.

Writing to disagree with the ones who say Hayley Williams because she's 'hot' and other similar comments. To be honest, if she was for real she wouldn't be photo-shopped in every photograph; then again that's just my opinion.

Gerard Way would be a definate icon for me (+ the rest of MCR), without them i would not be here. <3

xo

Good charlotte as a collective answer . They're music has helped me and probably many others get through rough times , even if they were small they would help , Their songs like The anthem and Life styles of the rich and the famous Bring a smile to your face and their songs We believe and The river make you aware of the worlds developing countries and familys with tough lives and make you think about your own in a opptimistic view . Well to me anayways . So yeah thats why good charlotte , They might not be one person but they are sure an icon band .

Chloe/14/scotland

Greenn Day changed my life. Their music helped me a lot and changed me as a person. Billie Joe Armstrong is my 21st century icon.

GREEN DAY!!!!

I LOL'D HARD AT THIS WHOLE CONVERSATION.

Yeah, and... Paramore sucks.
Well, I guess they're alright as a band. Although Hayley's voice sometimes annoys me, she can sing, I agree.
but their fans are absolutely disgusting.

oh, and 4 million for all their albums? That's nothing. Green Day sold 12 million on American Idiot alone.

Well, to me it's obvious. Green Day. They changed my life in a lot of ways. They have the best lyrics out there, lyrics, which are so good that you change as a person learning them. And also, I'd like to shoutout to the huge Green Day community on the internet: You guys rock!

I'm going to nominate all three members of Green Day:
Billie Joe Armstrong
Mike Dirnt
and Tre Cool

Why do they deserve to win? Look at them. They've been a band for over 20 years, and STILL manage to make hit songs.
They are lovely people, as well... they stay late after shows to meet bands, and they rarely try to push you away.
and have you ever seen them live? Amazing show! You don't have to be crazy into them to enjoy their shows. They're so interactive; they bring people on stage! and they have a way of making even the most largest gigs intimate.

Plus... "21st Century Icons"... their latest album is "21st Century Breakdown"...

avenged sevenfold. unlike most artists now a days, a7x writes from the HEART! they write about love, about life, about death, about everything. their first concert had like 5 ppl, now they have 500000 ppl at a concert. they are a good example that if u work hard u will achieve ur goal later in life. R.I.P THE REV AND GO A7X!!

GREEN DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Green Day changed my life.
They're the best punk band on earth!
They are talented and amazing.
Their music will stay forever. Dookie is timeless.
And Billie Joe Armstrong is so right about everything he says with his lyrics. He's one of the best songwriters on this earth unless the best.
He, Tré Cool and Mike Dirnt have been a band for over 20 years and they live their music. "We write music for ourselves and if other people like it, that's great." - Mike Dirnt

Green Day!

These two bands really changed me in some kind of way. They both have songs that fit every emotion. I just love their music and their lyrics. It's hard to describe to persons who don't listen to them why they changed me. It's just that I'm really glad to have found these bands in the past cause I think they'd really inspired me to do things like playing guitar and wanting to do something with music in the future. And that I should always believe in myself no matter what comes in my way.

Billie Joe from Green Day has changed my life totally! When I "discovered" Green Day and Billie Joe, the point of my life was clear.: Guitar and Green Day. Now that's the only thing I'll do. I'm searching for guitars, and I've met Billie Joe once, and he's fantastic! I asced about the life to be a star, and he answered it was tough, but he liked it.

Billie Joe Armstrong is one of the best songwriters in my eyes. I started listening to Green Day when I was thirteen, and then I got my eyes up and realized that I should not give a fuck about what people think of me. I had really problems dealing with people that were mean to me by saying stuff about me.

Besides; Green Day has such good music, is still going strong and is incredible live! Can't wait to see them again! I love Green Day 'till the day I die. They rule.

i also forgot to mention jedward :P :D love those guys, they really dont care what anyone thinks or how bad they are, that is true punk attitude!

Those guys saved my life, i was lost until i started listening to them.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Mike Dirnt
Tré Cool

GREEN DAY, for sure. They saved my life. They are so talented, kind and inspiring for so many people.

And The Rev. What a talented artist, what a great guy... One of the best drummers of our time.

Wow, where even to start. Green Day has been a part of my life since I was born. I was brought to an all ages show at the age of 8 months. I grew up with Green Day. People compare me to the baby on Knocked Up when its in the car yelling "i wanna listen to Green Day!" i could never imagine my life with out them. In school I'm known as the "The overly obsessive Green Day Freak" and i get harassed and made fun of for it. but that's perfectly fine with me because Green Day has taught me to be myself, a minority, and not follow the crowd. And if other people don't like me they can F.O.D. I KNOW Green Day is the best band out there, and i don't need haters to tell me other wise. I've always lived my life as the underdog. i don't have many friends. My dad walked out on me when i was a baby, I'm an only child, live on a dead end street in a small town and live only with my mom, we fight 24/7. So Green Day is all i really have. Green Day is my life. My only savior. My only REAL heros. When I have nothing left, I will always have my collection of Green Day CD's and hundreds of pictures on my walls to keep myself sane. For the longest time, Green Day was literally the only thing I had. I was a prisoner in my own home. No TV, no computer, no phone, no friends, I couldn't even leave my room, Green Day has become a haven for me. An escape. Green Day is a promise. It whispers to me. It teaches me to dream. I go to my room, turn off the lights, and turn on my music. I lay on my bed and listen. Sometimes, in memorial for the end of a horrible day, or in appreciation of a beautiful one... To know my feelings when I am too numb to find them on my own. I listen to Billie Joe's angel voice and i feel like he personally knows me. And writes those lyrics in those songs just for me. Maybe you do the same. Maybe you listen to the same songs that I do. And maybe you dream with my dreams. And for that brief moment in time, neither of us are alone.

GREEN DAY, for sure. They saved my life with their music. They are so talented, kind and inspiring for so many people.
And The Rev. What a talented artistc, what a great guy... One of the best drummers of our time.

They were the voice of a generation.

Green Day single-handedly changed the world in the 21 years they have been a band.

The Rev changed my life forever. He was the man that made me interested in learning the drums and I miss him dearly. He is the icon of the music world for this decade because he was such a character, a legend, and an amazing drummer. If he doesn't win, then I will slap someone. I LOVE YOU REV, YOU ARE FOREVER IN MY HEART AND I WILL MISS YOU UNTIL I DIE.

Billie Joe Armstrong!!!!!!!
Mikeee and Treeee !!!!!!
They change life of 2 generations!!
since 21 yearss...!

Totally Green Day - Billie Joe Armstrong.
For too many reasons, way too long to be written!! Their songs speak to your heart, and they ARE the best band now. They say what they think, and they're not scared of it!!

I would definitely say that Green Day are my icons, my idols, my inspiration.
Billie Joe, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool are my heroes.
They've changed my life. It's been six years now since I first listened them, and I can assure you that I've never been in love in such an incredible way as I am with them ever since I fist heard of the band. I've done millions of things for them and I would do it again if necessary.
The three of them are my only heroes.
GREEN DAY FOREVER.

GREEN DAY FOREVER.

I have to say Gerard Way & My Chemical Romance. I listen to a lot of bands and so many of them have changed my life in different ways, but My Chem has to be the one band that I choose for this. They've helped me through so much more than any other band and changed my life much more dramaticly than any other band as well. I started listening to them when they were just a basement band. I couldn't get their first cd until their second came out because of my location. I spent so much time on the computer listening to their music until I could get their cd's. Their lyrics, their guitar parts, their bass lines, their drum beats. Everything in there helped me through the darkest times of my life. The words that Gerard spoke, they kept me from killing myself. They helped me overcome disordered eating that was very quickly turning into an eating disorder. Those words, mixed with their music did so much for me. Gerard's story influenced me as well. So many people look at them and see an over-rated emo band. They are much more than that though. They started their band to make a difference and they have! They still are making a difference every day! MCR was the first rock band that I really got into on my own. After them I started listening to so much more music.Without them, I wouldn't be alive, and niether would a couple of my friends that I've made along the way. I know they've saved so many lives, not just mine.

Green day most definitely is my 21st century icon. They gave me a purpose in my life and there is more wisdom in their music than anyone else's. Because of them I stopped hurting myself, took up guitar, and found out that there are more people like me who just need to listen to jesus of suburbia or deadbeat holiday to know that they belong. Plus, no other band can say fuck you like they can (=. (had you even THOUGHT of the phrase 'american idiot' before them?!)
so GREEN DAY ALL THE WAY

Green Day. They have put out some of the most influential albums and some really kick ass hits. Without Green Day, half the bands voters have named would not have existed without their love of music. For example, Paramore.

so GREEN DAY ALL THE WAY

Well.. there's nothing to say :L They changed loads of people's life not just mine.
Billie Joe is my icon,, my personal god...
and well... there's my story:
I saw Green Day first time on MTV Music Awards and I was like "Who the hell are they?" then I started listening to them & by a week I said to myself "this is it,, this is what I should be listening,, they are gonna change my life to the way I want" and by a month,, my room was covered in green day posters and I had all the green day albums,, I didn't give a shit about what people were thinking of me anymore...
they taught me just to be myself, and I'm sure that they taught the same thing to loads of other people.
And their live shows... God I can't even explain! I haven't been to any of them but when I watch Bullet In A Bible or some live videos of them on YouTube,, I feel like I am there too. Can't wait 'till their concert in Manchester!!
Billie Joe writes the best lyrics ever !! The old ones are good as the new ones.

So I vote for Green Day and all the members of it because they are the best punk band ever. I'll love Green Day, Billie Joe and punk rock forever. <3

Completely agree! Billie Joe Armstrong is an amazing songwriter, and one of the most charismatic and natural front men of our generation, and Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool are possibly the best rhythm section in rock today.
Although it is really unfair that they look better in dresses than I do... :3

Green Day! Best band ever...in my opinion! :D . They are my absolute favorite artist and i love them so much. They have really inspired me to start playing music. I thank you Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tre' Cool for saving my life with your amazing talent! You are my 21st Century icons! Green Day forever! <3

Green Day Are The Bestest Band Ever!!
Billie Joe Armstrong
Mike Dirnt
Tré Cool
xD

all of these bands may have a good sound or have cool tunes but only green day has the lyrics to match it. everything they write is incredible...the difference with green day is that EVERYTHING they write is amazing, every album, and just about every song. if you think warning is a bad album listen to macy's day parade and deadbeat holiday. if you think nimrod is a bad album listen to redundant and platypus (best fuck you song EVER). I BET ALL YOUR ASSES YOU CANT FIND ONE BAD ALBUM WITH GREEN DAY. and thats why they are THE FUCKING BEST

I would have to say Green Day. Not only are they my favorite band in the whole world but they means something to me that a few people can say the same. See my dad died when i was 7 years old of a heart condition and i didnt really show any emotion about like come on i was only 7 and i didnt really know what was going on at the time. So i can say that i relate to Billie Joe Armstrong. But in 2004 when i heard Wake Me up When September Ends i started to show my emotions so THANK YOU Green Day! And then in 2009 when i turned 14 i listened to it again and it say 7 years has gone so fast and it really does.

If it was band, then obviously I'd pick Avenged Sevenfold simply because those guys are amazing. Each and everyone of them have talent, and are a hero to someone. They've done a lot for my life and helped me through a lot of things. Cliched perhaps, but true. And I know for a fact that I would vote one of the members of that band even if Jimmy hadn't escaped to his Afterlife for they've been my favourite band for about 4 years.

Whether or not other people agree, I'd say undoubtedly Jimmy deserves it. Look how many people he has inspired to take up drumming and still is, probably even more so now. Yes, maybe since he's passed away more Avenged Sevenfold fans have appeared out of nowhere, but maybe that isn't a bad thing. What's wrong with them inspiring and helping yet more people and adding to the list of dedicated Deathbats?

Sure, some might just be saying they're a fan for the hell of it. But if that's the case then they are just pathetic. Like what you like, and don't care what anyone says. Don't act like something you're not.

I'll never, ever forget Jimmy. He's changed my life with the help of his wonderful friends. I'd say he is hands down one of the best drummers of my time. For a lot of people Jimmy was and still is their hero. Including one of mine. He isn't 'talentless' or suddenly become a sensation just because he's very sadly passed away. LISTEN TO HIS DRUMMING, WOULD YOU! Do you call that 'talentless'?

He kicked ass at the drums, had a voice that was so gripping, he loved everything and never seen the bad in anyone. Not to mention, he was hilarious! And sadly, he was just to much of a great person to live among this cruel world.
Also, I believe that Jimmy will continue to be an inspiration to many people for generations to come.

On the other hand, I also vote Mike Portnoy of Dream Theatre. Not only is he in a band that a lot of people have loved for a long time, but he has also gave hope to a lot of Avenged Sevenfold fans such as myself. With his help, they are recording their tribute album to Jimmy. Who better to stand in that Jimmy's own drumming hero? I honestly think it was a touching thing that Mike agreed to do this. He didn't have to, but he did. Which makes him quite frankly an Icon in itself.

Jared Leot FTW !

billie joe armstrong Green Day.Great songwriter,guitarist and frontman.

Ive loved Green Day since i was about 4/5 years old and has been in my life ever since. They really have effected my life in a good way. When i was 7 years old my dad died of a heart condition and didnt really know what was going on. I didnt let anyone in my family see my emotions pour out at night but when 2004 came along and i listened to American Idiot i discovered Wake Me Up When September Ends and that song made me feel connected with Billie Joe because i knew what he went though when he was 10. That was the first time my sister ever saw me cry about my dad. And in 2009 when i turned 14 i played it again as memorial because in the song it says "7 years has gone so fast" and it really does. THANK YOU GREEN DAY!

No band could ever match up to Green Day. In my school every one is a jap who thinks good thinks good music is Justin Bieber. EWWW. They look at me as some freaky kid who likes that band Green Day. And im proud to say i do. Thats the only band that can put on a show like no other and be themselves. They were the ones teaching me lessons instead of my mom. Be yourself, and Green Day is the ion of the 21st Century.

Ive loved Green Day since i was in second grade and they have influenced my life in a million different ways, they taught me to stick to what i believe in and fuck everybody who wants to put you down, and their all about doing what you want and they have made me realize that i don't care what people think about me anymore, and that's why i love Jesus of Suburbia its the song i listen to when I'm pissed of, and everything around me is going wrong, so THANKS GREEN DAY ILY GUYS TO DEATH. seriously no band could ever touch them they are the greatest band ever to me and i don't care what anyone says about that, they can go ahead and like and like the Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber, seriously WTF ?! and they can look at me like the loser who likes punk rock music, and is in love with Green Day. And,That is why Green Day is my 21 century icon fer Sure.

green day have been my life in over six years and i truily love them to death. billie joe's songwriting is amazing, tré plays the shit out of the drums and mike is an amazing bassplayer! :D <3 i'm a big green day fan and i'll know, that i'm always gonna be it.

GREEN DAY LOVE FOREVER!

Green Day, no doubt. i was 10 when i first heard American Idiot, and i had never heard anything like it. it was fast, loud, and had amazing lyrics. when i heard those opening power chords, i was hooked. after hearing AI, i was determined to hear more like it. so i discovered The Ramones, Sex Pistols, blink-182, Nirvana, etc. plus, they inspired me to form my own band. AI also helped me form my political views. if it weren't for Green Day, i would not be the same person i am today.

I would say Green Day, Bille Joe Armstrong, becuz they rocked through the last years more than anybody else.

2nd choice would be the Rev. from Avenged Sevenfold

GREEN DAY <3 they have changed the my out look on life the way i do things the way i treat others!!! BillieJoe <3

GREEN DAY IS THE ICON OF THE 21ST CENTURY!! <3
They are so freaking tallented, in there own way! :D
I saw Green Day last year and I'm lucky to have the chance to see them again this year! It was the best day in my life. - I saw my favorit band and I was up front, so I could see everything and Billie even looked at me.. ^^ And after the koncert, I met Billie Joe Armstrong. And that is a dream come true.
Green Day really changed my life and they are stuck in my heart for ever. No mather how old I'll get, I'll still be a true fan to them!

(Sorry for my bad english.)

HELL YEAH! GREEN DAY I LOVE THOESE GUYS!! THEY FUCKING ROCK!

I would have to say Green Day. They came out with three great albums this decade:Warning,American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown. Those albums have changed rock'n'roll music, in my opinion and I think Im not the only one who thinks that. They have helped many people with their music and introduced the world to punk rock opera.!! A fucking amazing band!!! I dont know where I would be without them!!! They changed my life forever! I know this sounds cheesy but its ture!!! GREEN DAY ARE THE 21st CENTURY ICONS!!!!

if i'll see anymore green day i will lose trust in the intelligence of people nowadays

fuckin hell like

I think green day have really shone through in the 21st century with two amazing albums but a lot of newer bands such as all american rejects, all time low e.t.c deserve a place on this chart

Also, WTF WITH JURT COBAIN? ok good musician but don't forget HE WASNT EVEN ALIVE IN THE 21ST CENTURY. This chart is about music within the last 10 years. If it was music of the last 50 years however im pretty sure he would be close to the top.

Rant over.

Green is the best band ever !!!!!

the biggest rock icon of the 21st century?
ooh its Billie Joe, Tré or Mike....from GREEN DAY!!!they must win!!
i've been listening to their music for a year... they really changed my life.. i found my personality. :D
soo i just wanna say I LOVE GREEN DAY!!!!!!
