No songs from the Sweet Children EP are included so the list is a failure. And ridiculous to include All By Myself when it's just a joke hidden track, and Restless Heart Syndrome when it's clearly an amazing song. Disagree with most of the rest but I can see why they chose them. The Saints Are Coming is their best pick haha. I'll never understand how a song being in a film that you can easily just not watch and pretend doesn't exist can make any difference to someone's enjoyment of it. Seeing the video once hasn't made me associate it with Twilight any more than seeing a random fan video on youtube where someone stuck Boulevard Of Broken Dreams over some Twilight clips would make me associate that song with it.

Plot twist: the unpopular opinions thread makes the world go round.

Nah man, pretty sure it's just opinions.

I'm pretty sure Hermione just trolled the fuck out of us all without anyone realising.

Kerrang finally posted something about Green Day that actually got our attention

Don't think I posted these before... FBHT at SXSW on March 14, 2014:

Rest is brilliant, trippy and relaxing

I feel bad for SD&V. I also cringed because of the chorus rhyming english math and science part, even though upon further reflection I can see how it makes poetic sense like "getting back to basics." The verses in the song I think are actually really strong, it's just impossible to get past that chorus

My jaw literally dropped at the inclusion of Restless Heart Syndrome. And I would definitely disagree with Misery too, great, unusual song.

That's it! Somebody nominate you for the Nobel Prize for physics.

Yes :wub: I didn't! Billie did. And he's good at it

I agree with putting The Forgotten in there. I think Twilight totally ruined that song for me.

That whole list is horrible. Some of those are my favorite songs! And it's stupid of them to include "The Forgotten" - they said it's "perfectly pleasant… with lovely sentiment behind it," but they included it JUST because it was on the Twilight soundtrack? Being used in a bad movie doesn't make a song bad. That doesn't make sense.

I think we can call not liking the Trilogy a popular opinion at this point.

I'll post this here, too. FBHT at SXSW on March 15, 2014:

Someone posted this on tumblr: OMG WHAT'S GOING ON?? :lol: THE F?

I haven't listened to that song since I first listened to 39/Smooth. Just put it on now and Jesus fuck that's awful. You're right, it sounds like someone took the actual recording and slowed it down in Audacity or some such shit.

Fabulous

Just taking a crack at it The narrator is an ignorant and/or narrow-minded individual, and is trying to process information coming from someone a bit wiser. No clue how that fits the context of the rest of the lyrics though.

I love Uno Dos and Tre and I think they're excellent albums, I listen to each of them in full at least once a week and listen to something from them pretty much every day, and I don't see anything that makes them "objectively" worse than Green Day's other albums #actual unpopular opinion in this thread It's very sappy/cheesy to be fair ("Angeeel, ANGEEEEL, dancing away!" for example). But in the context that it's some plucky teenagers playing it with all their hearts it's sweet, and the music is good quality, so I still enjoy it. And it was written in the 80's when there were far more shockingly cringeworthy rock songs around (power ballads etc) so got to cut it some slack

Sorry, I really don't get the hate for it. What is so bad about it?

Clear neon green 7" Waiting/Maria from Adeline. I just need to find a site that's still selling the clear neon pink now.

Dookie 12" Promo Vinyl - pretty happy about that

I actually kinda like the song until the chorus kicks in. Just can't do it. And the Forgotten music video without Twilight is actually quite beautiful. It's not on Youtube any more because someone took it down. Does anyone here have it saved?

First time billie as been the tallest

I can't help but notice you didn't talk about the pitiful reuse of the lyrics "Like a child left behind" from Extraordinary Girl (I still like the song though)

Is this why?

The Forgotten was a shit song before they put it in Twilight, so it doesn't really make any difference.

Got to agree with Rest and Restless Heart Syndrome is very depressing, but I don't think I mean that in the same way they do I feel like they included Nightlife just because it's Nightlife rather than because it's actually bad. Not saying it's the greatest moment of their careers or anything, but yeah.

Lets face it kerrang are full of shit haha

Kerrangs top 11 worst songs by Green Day http://www.kerrang.com/8205/11-songs-wish-green-day-never-recorded/ Can't believe they've said something bad about them

Nuclear Family, Stay the Night, Kill the DJ and Let Yourself Go, for me. I can't stand Carpe Diem. Fell For You and Sweet 16 aren't necessarily bad, they're just boring. And I think my feelings on Oh Love are pretty clear! As explained by yours truly in the old thread, Lazy Bones is great because:

Just thought I'd point out Sarcastic Billie meme is the best thing ever.

Sort of random, but also very neat: Tonight I had the privilege to meet Marky Ramone, drummer of the Ramones, who spoke at my school tonight. After the show, I met him privately and he signed my belt and took pictures. During his presentation, though, he spoke a bit about Green Day. These are the random remarks he made: - All three of them are extremely nice guys, and he has hungout with them on many occasions - When the Ramones were inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame, they didn't want to perform due to the recent death of Joey Ramone. Green Day volunteered to play Ramones songs, and apparently they rehearsed a lot and took it very seriously. Marky says that what Green Day did for his band was special and something he will never forget. - When asked about new music he listens to, he mentioned Foreverly, saying that it brings him great joy when artists test themselves and try new things. - He also said that Dookie is an excellent album, and that overall Green Day are very talented musicians.

If there's a god he needs to stop it right now and have mercy on my poor little soul. *_*
