Did they, or did they not, break big in the wake of the success of the 'grunge' fashion and music trends??
Green Day had more in common musically with Nirvana than they did with Black Flag or GG Allin. Calling Green Day 'punk' is like calling Sonny & Cher 'psychedelic' - you CAN, technically, but...
And yes, I know you're 'in the industry' and that you know Rob Cavallo. Good for you.
Personally, I'd be torn if Rob C. wanted to produce my band's record; on the one hand, people in the industry would pay attention and it's a great way toget heard and put on tours.
On the other hand, it would probably sound like it was produced by Rob Cavallo...
