8 Classic Albums That End With Acoustic Songs: Green Day, Weezer, And More

6. Green Day - Dookie (1994)

Dookie's closing track "F.O.D." is actually two songs in one, with an acoustic hidden song called "All By Myself," written and performed by drummer Tré Cool, taking up the last minute-and-a-half of the track.

OK so they think Taylor Swift and Green Day are not cool enough for them. I get it.

Triple J's a radio station in Australia that generally plays music from independent bands, obscure bands, and pretty much anything that isn't "mainstream". Recently they had a Top 100 poll of songs from 2014 and a large company convinced everyone to vote for Taylor Swifts "Shake It Off". Triple J didn't look to kindly to this and eventually she was disqualified from the Top 100, which caused a bit of controversy.

So it was a marketing scheme for Taylor Swift. Did the same thing happen when Green Day made the top 100 or was that just because people actually voted for them.

Liam explained it so much better...

But I loved your explanation too.

Funding a 90's Pop-Punk Memorabilia Museum
Feeling nostalgic for the decade when Blink-182 were still buddies, DeLonge is partnering with Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong to start a memorabilia museum dedicated to the 90's pop-punk scene in Tom's native town of Poway, CA. Word on the street is that former Blink-182 drummer Scott Raynor will be contributing, as well

The Grouch made the hot 100 the year Good Riddance did, and that was played on Triple J. And in the previous and following hot 100's, Hitchin A Ride, and Nice Guys Finish Last made it.

I bet The Grouch was only popular enough to get in the Hot 100 because of the Recovery performance though.

"That was supposed to be so secret, down low, hush hush, but Indie 103 blasted it and then KROQ started blasting it. Next thing you know, there's a thousand people at my front door, down the alley all the way to Orizaba Park. My neighbors were flipping out. I walked into my office and my surfboard was on top of my walk-in cooler. Billie Joe and Tre and Mike look at me like, 'Oh, is he going to be pissed?' Billie Joe said, 'Would it be cool if I surfed my way to the stage?' That was pretty much a brand new board at the time, so I was a little freaked, but when you have the opportunity to have a moment like that, it's pretty insane."

Green Day - Cigarettes and Valentines

While many fans were conflicted about 2000's Warning, we reckon the album was the perfect crystallisation of the band's pre-2000s sound, embodying both their punk rock fury and their poppy predilections, with plenty of their trademark tongue-in-cheek humour. Their seventh studio album, Cigarettes and Valentines, was to be the perfect follow-up to Warning, but after 20 recorded tracks were stolen in the summer of 2003, the band ditched the entire project and recorded a new collection of songs which they released in 2004 asAmerican Idiot.

Someone's being funny:

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Wiki:

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is a museum located on the shore of Lake Erie in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, United States. It is dedicated to archiving the history of some of the best-known and most influential artists, producers, engineers and others who have, in some major way, influenced the music industry. It is part of the city's redeveloped North Coast Harbor. Due to its induction of Green Day, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is now known as the Mistake by the Lake.
