TracksAtChristieRoad Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Best 3 song run on a single album tracklist (no compilations) thought I would pick your guys brains a bit. a friend of mine asked me this same question. they came up with Waiting, Minority and Macy's day parade ( but it being the weakest) of course, the 2 song run is easy (bobd/holiday, are we the waiting/st jimmy etc.) here are my picks Wake Me Up When September Ends Homecoming Whatsername Stuart and the Ave Brain Stew Jaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine would probably be: The Grouch Redundant Scattered or Static Age 21 Guns American Eulogy/Mass Hysteria/Modern World For the 2 combo probably Armatage Shanks Brat or Jinx Haushinka I'm curious to see everyone else's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, has to be One of My Lies/80/Android. I do also agree with @maryjanewhatsername; Static Age/21 Guns/American Eulogy is a very strong combo.

Hermione Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 @TracksAtChristieRoad I've split this from the Q&A thread (as like Alissa mentioned it's more a topic of discussion than just a question about Green Day you want an answer to) Please remember to say something about why you've chosen the songs etc so there there's some discussion and it isn't just a "list thread" There's a couple of candidates on Nimrod for me. I like Uptight - Last Ride In - Jinx (or to be greedy Jinx/Haushinka ) just because I find it so genius to have an "interval" in the middle of the album with a chilled out song to relax to, sandwiched by a frantic depressed song and a fast paced crazy song. Then later there's Take Back - King For a Day - Good Riddance, which is just the ultimate in extreme Green Day song experiments one after the other, each one unique and contrasting with the one before.

Too domb to die Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 The full Dookie tracklist is the best 14/ 15 if you want to be a pedant. Perfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin1 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 1. Stay The Night, Carpe Diem, Let Yourself Go 2. X-Kid, Sex Drugs and Violence, LBNT 3. Waiting, Minority, Macy’s Day Parade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montclare Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hitchin' a Ride, The Grouch, Redundant. Three of my top 15 all in a row. Nimrod in general has a lot of great "all in a row" ones. All the Time, Worry Rock, and Platypus is another good one. Take out Scattered (sorry, I'm one of the few that feels meh about it), and you'd have a phenomenal 6 set. KFAD and Good Riddance also are in my top 15; I don't like Take Back or Prosthetic Head as much, although I think PH has some of the best lyrics, soundwise (as opposed to having a deep, profound, life changing meaning).

DeJennsitized Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 This is an interesting question, and the first that came to mind was the first 3 on Nimrod (Nice Guys, Hitchin, The Grouch.) I think it's a really strong start to the album and gives a good summary of the sound (for the most part loud, fast and experimental.) Other contenders for me are: 86/Panic Song/Stuart & The Ave - These three songs I found could be interpreted as a story - being kicked out, panicking about it and then accepting it. Which I think is pretty cool. Waiting/Minority/Macy's Day Parade - Three great singles in a row at the end of the album. East Jesus Nowhere/Peacemaker/Last of the American Girls - Act 2 of 21CB is my favourite act and remember listening to these three songs in a row and thinking 'damn, they can do no wrong!' Ashley/Baby Eyes/Lady Cobra - I actually like these three songs and they all have a similar theme, which is basically murderous women Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian's Inferno! Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 First that came to mind was Coming Clean + Emenius Sleepus + In the End Even though I wouldn't consider any of these favourite tracks individually, together I think they work really great together towards the end of the album It's hard to think of any more cause Green Day can usually do perfect 10+ song runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Boy Named Booze Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Maybe it's because I keep listening to it since last month but my answer is: Still Breathing Youngblood Too Dumb To Die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought in Baby Eyes he was speaking about himself (“Year of the rat” being 1972 and “last of the litter” also describing him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was a shift in the album that I felt so distinctly and made me think ‘woah, this is special.’ And yeah, he probably is, and he’s the ‘murderer’ in the song, but I think Baby Eyes is the person he’s talking to so I’ll just loosely interpret it as two murderous people together so the three songs kind of tie in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryjanewhatsername Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Still super stick by my Static Age/21 Guns/Mass Hysteria opinion also just love The Grouch/Redundant/Scattered ((i love Scattered, so much)). And although the Tril is my least favorite Green Day moment, Carpe Diem/Let Yourself Go/Kill the DJ is so good! I'd say Stay the Night, but after listening to the acoustic version I don't dig the regular version as much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah let me second that one too just for sheer song quality And yeah pretty much all of Nimrod all in a row is genius! Not only great songs but an inspired order and loads of great contrasting and complementing moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I agree the acoustic version is special. The way he sings it quietly to the mic on his own with no studio magic is so like, intimate, that it's like a window to his soul and/or like he's singing directly to you . I wouldn't argue that it's a "better version" but it's just a cool/special thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NationUnderdog Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Nice Guys Finish Last Hitchin a Ride The Grouch Reject (Underrated and one of the best songs on the album) Take Back King For a Day Warning Blood, Sex and Booze Church on Sunday Some great 2 song runs for me are: Stuck With Me Geek Stink Breath Redundant Scattered 86 Panic Song And obviously Jinx/Haushinka, which is epic.

jengd Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 As ever, I can’t pin myself down with one answer to this, have gone through it agreeing with most of your answers but I have to agree with @NationUnderdog about jinx/haushinka and it’s got to be in the most underrated list too. also I agree with @Hermione about stay the night, the acoustic version is just a totally different thing, it really sounds like there’s just me and him in the room, you have to listen to it on headphones if you haven’t already. 💕💕💥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
