Cali-punk smackdown: Green Day vs. Blink-182

Outrageous behavior

At Woodstock ’94, at the peak of their “Dookie”-era success, Green Day incited a near-riot when fans threw hunks of mud at the band and Billie Joe Armstrong enthusiastically began flinging them back at the crowd. A decade later, while on tour for “American Idiot,” Armstrong's onstage antics took on a more political bent, as he donned a George Bush mask and mocked the commander-in-chief. But we’ve got to give this one to the Blink boys, whose penchant for getting naked both onstage and in their videos (most famously for “What’s My Age Again?”) is unrivaled by any band this side of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Advantage: Blink-182
