Green Day [ tickets ]
"From Sweet Children to American Idiots"
(Koch)

Alt-rock icons Green Day soared from angst-ridden underground punk kids to the voice of a misunderstood generation with their brash mixture of punk-pop and lyrics covering everything from females to the ennui of suburbia. Released March 4, this two-disc DVD explores the early days of frontman Billie Joe Armstrong and bassist Mike Dirnt--in particular their late '80s band, Sweet Children--through Green Day's rise to stardom and the success of their most recent full-length release, 2004's "American Idiot."

Black Sabbath [ tickets ]
"The Dio Years"
(Rhino)

In 1979, Black Sabbath bid Ozzy Osbourne goodbye and welcomed former Rainbow frontman Ronnie James Dio to the influential heavy metal band's line-up. This significant alteration led to a sonic change in Black Sabbath's music for Dio's three-year reign, all of which is chronicled in this two-disc set, appropriately titled "The Dio Years," which hit shelves March 11. Along with 16 tracks created during this time period, the DVD/CD set also features three new songs recorded in 2006 and two live videos, "Neon Knights" and "Die Young," from the '80s.
