Best song from each album? Worst song from each album? Why?

[Scumfuc Waste]

Of all the albums Green Day has released, what's your favourite song from each album, and what's your least favourite? And why?

Since I'm the one posting I figure I might as well go first. 

1,039
Favourite song: 409 In Your Coffeemaker
It's just such an awesome raw punk song. Instantly starting out full band with the aggressive guitar riff with the bassline to accompany it, the simple, yet perfect drum beat to keep it going along. The verse is nice and upbeat, but still keeping that punk feel. I especially like the post chorus, with the bass coming in as a fill in between the silence, and the guitar solo just rocks so hard. Then back into that melodic, upbeat, yet still punky chorus, and back into the post chorus again with the guitar doing it instead of the bass, as a perfect song ending. It's just so raw and aggressive yet so upbeat, it's just great.

Least favourite song:
Studio Banter (Interview)
It's not a song.



Kerplunk!
Favourite song: Android
Pretty much same reasons as 409, great raw punk sounding song, gets me pumped for sure, the guitars are fast and aggressive, the bassline is a lot like the guitar parts but still different on this song, and totally fitting, and the drums are fairly simple, but perfect for this song. What I really like about this song is the lyrics, the lyrics are so relatable to me, and in such punk style of writing too. Also toilet flush sound effect in the song. Haha. Funny. Toilets.

Least favourite song: Dominated Love Slave
It doesn't fit the rest of the album AT ALL. It sounds like it's desperately BEGGING to be on another album by someone else. I don't even like country. But this song would be so much better on another album rather than Kerplunk!, and it doesn't quite have the same feeling as the other songs, this song just bores me whereas the rest of the songs either get me pumped up (android) or get me feeling great big real emotions (no one knows), but this just puts me to sleep. Play this song for the guy on the Insomniac cover.



Dookie
Favourite song: Burnout
I don't know how many times I have to say it in this list, but, same mostly as the previous two favourites. Total punk aggressiveness while still staying upbeat, gets me pumped, the bassline is really different on this one though. Still fits like a glove. This one had a drum solo too which was really really cool to hear. Lyrics are relatable here too, and very punk style.

Least favourite song: Sorry, don't have one.
This album may not be my top favourite but it's definitely one of them, I like all the songs on this album. (I WOULD have picked All By Myself if it wasn't a hidden track, I don't usually count those)



Insomniac
Favourite song: Brain Stew
One of my favourite songs of their entire discography. It's dark sounding, and aggressive sounding too, but without the high speed, proving that slow songs can show aggression and frustration too. It's not as raw, but neither is Burnout. The lyrics are beyond relatable for me, the breakdown is really great, and the song just builds up and builds up and builds up which is great. The vocals are kinda funny on their own since Bill was drunk, and it came out sounding kinda silly, but put into the song it sounds totally fine and serious, which is just great and awesome. I also like it cause I know how to play it on guitar, lol.

Least favourite song: Sorry, don't have one.
This album may not be my top favourite but it's definitely one of them, I like all the songs on this album.



Nimrod
Favourite song: ALL OF THEM (except Good Riddance)
This album ROCKS and is my favourite green day album EVER! But there is one song I don't care for too much...

...Least favourite song: Good Riddance
It just doesn't really hit me the way the other songs do. It's just really kinda boring for me. And yeah, I know, "blah blah blah overplayed", but seriously, I've heard it a million times and hearing it more doesn't make me like it more. God. It makes it worse when it's played at graduations and weddings, I mean first off, with graduations, that's a big accomplishment, why play some boring ass song that all the students are guaranteed to already have heard more than once before? And it's worse with weddings, cause it's a BIGGER life event (to my tastes), and you're playing such an uninteresting song, and to make things WORSE, the song is about the exact OPPOSITE of getting married. It's about splitting up with a partner. There's a reason it's literally titled "Good Riddance".



Warning
Favourite song: Jackass
This song is just so happy and upbeat, so it sounds really cool, but the lyrics are so hateful, and it's just hilarious. I mean this sounds like it coulda been a christmas song!...but it's about how much a jackass someone is. Lol. The way Bill sings, you can clearly tell he's annoyed, you can hear it in his voice. The lyrics are really relatable too, we all know that ONE person who we feel this way about, and we all know that ONE person who thinks the same way about us. And in so many cases, it ends up being more than one person--both ends.

Least favourite song: Warning
Right off the bat, it's not even original. It's a clear rip off of Picture Book by The Kinks. Secondly, it's just boring as ass anyway, whether or not it's Warning or Picture Book. It's the only Green Day song I've ever heard on the radio at Safeway, and that's not why I dislike it--that's just bringing up that it's so boring it was even played in a damn Safeway. If your song gets played at Safeway you deserve a plastic silver medal that doesn't shine that says "CONGRATS! BORING SONGWRITER"



American Idiot
Favourite song: Homecoming
This song is like a total masterpiece. Starts off kinda upbeat, and goes into the verse, like an upbeat rock song--sounds like it would fit at christmas time. Then there's a little bit that's almost like a chorus that plays during this part, that sounds kinda melacholic almost, "What the hell's your name? What's your pleas..." is one of my favourite parts, as it eventually gets into the rocking punk like "Well nobody cares!" part right before perfectly transitioning into yet another upbeat christmas sounding East 12th St. part, as it transitions BACK in rocking hard punk style right before Tre's part. Tre's "Nobody likes you, everyone left you" part kinda sounds like a national anthem type thing, then it gets into the "Rock and Roll Girlfriend" which is just awesome, it sounds classic rock and roll as hell. Definitely sounds out of the 60's. And then it ends perfectly with the next verse, eventually going into the "We're coming home again!" part to really end things off well. In all honesty if you played me all these parts separately or out of order I'd say these don't fit and could never be in the same song. But they just transition these parts so seamlessly and perfectly and it sounds so natural, that it feels like they can't NOT be together. 

Least favourite song: Wake Me Up When September Ends
LISTEN I'M SORRY OKAY I KNOW WHAT THIS SONG'S ABOUT I JUST DON'T LIKE IT SO MUCH I'M SORRY I'M SORRY LEAVE ME ALONE



21st Century Breakdown
Favourite song: 21st Century Breakdown
Oh jeez, here comes the era where Bill has anime hair.
This song just really has an upbringing, powerful feel to it. This kinda song just makes me wanna jump up and say, "YEAH!!", the guitar riff definitely almost defines pop punk riffs. Then the solo, oh god, the solo. It's like an 80s or 90s classic rock solo. Yet they fit it in a pop punk song so great and perfectly. Awesome.

Least favourite song: Song of the Century
uninteresting intro track skip to the next song plz thank you cd player for skip track feature



iUNO!
Favourite song: Nuclear Family
idk its okay I guess I mean its one of the songs that isnt too boring idk its alright I guess idk

Least favourite song: Oh Love
its not bad but like its most boring though



iDOS!
Favourite song: Lazy Bones
Just gives a kind of sad, melancholic feeling. The bassline in the intro is really great and fits perfectly. The fake hand claps in the verses are a somewhat reasonable addition, but I don't care for them. The verse reminds me of ska almost. I love ska. This definitely sounds like a Green Day song but it sounds so different too. I wish the rest of the trilogy could be like this. This is one of my favourite green day songs by far.

Least favourite song:
Nightlife
ew this sounds like it belongs on father of all motherfuckers and that album is garbage



iTRE!
Favourite song: Dirty Rottten Bastards
Kinda like the homecoming of the trilogy. Upbeat, christmas like, has multiple different sounding parts to it. I will say these parts sound less different from eachother than Homecoming. One thing I know is I love the SHIT out of Mike's bass solo, just AWESOME. I seriously wanna learn that. Bill's rockin' guitar solo is perfect, I never heard him shred like that before. I didn't know he even could shred. Before the solos, it's got a nice punk sounding fast rock part that I like. Just thought I'd mention the solos first cause they're that awesome they need to addressed quickly. Afterwards it's got another fast rock punk sounding part that's so awesome. Afterwards you get another christmassy upbeat slow part to end the song off. It's a masterpiece

Least favourite song: The rest of the album
Sorry, I just don't like anything else off of Tre.



Demolicious
Favourite song: Baby Eyes (Demo)
ROCK!!! Love this raw punk song. That dirty filthy bass tone with that aggressive ass riff in the beginning, is just so punk. The you get into the stereotypical christmas song Green Day verse, which is cool and all. This song is just great, and I wish the demo was the one on iDOS! cause it's so much better than the finished version. 

Least favourite song: Oh Love (Demo)
its not bad but like its most boring though

 

Revolution Radio
Favourite song: Revolution Radio
intro kinda spook verse kinda cool ish chorus is fine solo is decent I guess idk

Least favourite song: Ordinary World

idk cause I like it more when Perry sings it in the movie but when Bill plays it on the album it doesn't have the same feeling tbh. decent movie though btw



Father of All Motherfuckers
Favourite song: NONE OF THEM
Least favourite song: ALL OF THEM

Oh my GOD this album SUCKS!! It's not punk OR rock! It's straight pop! I remember Green Day putting ads on YouTube that were just the FOA music video, and when I saw that I was so excited, new green day music, and then I listened to it and was more disappointed. The trilogy seemed like the Load/RELoad of the Green Day discography, so this is the Lulu of their discography (Metallica fans know what I'm talking about). And you know, it's not that "its different so i dontr like it i hate it ughhhhh", because I'm fine with bands being different. I mean look at St. Anger! That was NOTHING like Metallica's other shit and everyone HATED it but I own it and actually liked it because I like nu metal and they at least did a good job making a nu metal album. But with FOAMF, it's just straight pop garbage. I can't stand this genre of music. I genuinely feel bad for any new green day fans who are first introduced to this album, cause either they won't like the rest of their music cause they just wanted this trash, or they won't like Green Day at all cause they weren't interested in FOAMF and thought they always sucked. And I know, EVERY band gets accused of "selling out" when they change their sound. But I mean, that's exactly what's happening here! It's why St. Anger was made; Metallica heard some shit on the radio that wasn't their style anymore so they say "aghhh let's make that and get rich" and that's what happened. I'm only able to enjoy St. Anger because it was nu metal and I like nu metal. I still think it's a bad Metallica album. And Green Day is pulling a St. Anger with this album. The difference is I don't like the genre Green Day changed to, I hate modern pop music!! Pisses me off that this is what we get. Experimenting is fine but THEY AREN'T EXPERIMENTING. THEY ARE TRYING TO SOUND POPPIER FOR MORE MONEY. IT'S POPPY AND IT'S POOPY. I KNOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LITTLE KID PLAYGROUND INSULT BUT THIS ALBUM IS SO TERRIBLE IT DOESN'T EVEN DESERVE PROPER CRITICISM. That being said, the worst songs on this album are "Oh Yeah!", "I Was A Teenage Teenager", and "Father Of All...".

[That Dude]

At the library / Green Day.      A song called "Green Day" should have been better.   We need a sequel.   

Holden/ Strangeland.                     Strangeland just doesn't do anything for me.  

Longview /coming clean             fan favorite, I know.  but not mine.  

Stuart / tight wad hill      Stuart is emotional and powerful.   Tight Wad Hill is not.   

Scattered / haunshinka (if i could replace it with anything off Shenanigans I would.   That's right folks.  Last Ride is better than Haushinka.)   

Church on sunday / warning - their worst title track, but not bad.   Warning is a masterpiece.  

Jesus of Suburbia / St. Jimmy, but they are really all perfect.     American Idiot is a masterpiece.   

American eulogy because Mike.  / song of the century because intros suck.....but it's one of the better album intros.   

Rusty James / carpe diem      - I am listening to Uno in the car and WOW.   For the first time, I am hearing what all the hatred was about.   Still love it, but the first half isn't doing it for me anymore.    Just the back half.   Hmm.

Lazy bones / see you tonight     - intros suck, people.  stop wasting track 1 on a snippet and make a killer tune to kick off the fun.    Ya jerks.   

Xkid / train    -  both songs dedicated to a wayward friend.  X-Kid is a nice one, but Train just doesn't do the person justice.   write them another one, Billie Joe.   

Too dumb to die / bounce off the what ever   -Too Dumb to Die is one of the greatest songs of all time.     Bounce off Wall is weak.   

Sugar youth / fire ready whatever.     -  Sugar Youth is a call back to earlier material and a whole lot of fun.     Ready Fire Aim is fun, but instantly forgettable.  It's mentally slippery, which is not a good look for Green Day.   I want to hold on.  and this song leaves me having to hoold on.  hold on to my self.  

 

The first song is the best.  Second is the worst.  Duh. 

[dallasthemenace]

39/smooth: (tracks 1-10 only, the others were EPs)

-Favorite: Judge's Daughter. It rips from start to finish.

-Least: Rest. I think a ballad was a little over ambitious at this point for them.

Kerplunk:

-Favorite: Android. It just is.

-Least: Dominated Love Slave. As much as I love Tre songs, I think I would rather have another Billie song on the album.

Dookie:

-Favorite: Tie - Longview & Coming Clean. Longview started everything for me. As a young, gay, heavily closeted male, living in Southeast Texas (spitting distance from the infamous Vidor, TX), this song was the first time someone communicated to me that I was OK for being what I was hiding and gave me much needed validation and support. Even though it would be years before I came out.

-Least: When I Come Around. This was my first instance of initially liking a song, but then liking it less and less due to overplay.

Insomniac:

-Favorite: Tie - Armatage Shanks & Walking Contradiction. Still my favorite intro to an album and one of my favorite Tre beats. WC is a beast of a tune, and has one of the best videos of the entire GD catalog. Both tunes make amazing bookends for an album.  (Honorable mention: Geek Stink Breath. The first song I ever played on drums.)

-Least: Brain Stew. Good song. Suffers from the same affliction as WICA and also infuriated me when radio would only play BS and not segue into Jaded, AS THE DARK LORD INTENDED.

Nimrod

-Favorite: Platypus. It made Jaded look like pussy shit. So much rage. And eloquent use of profanity. Also, seemingly impossible to play.

-Least: Last Ride In. This woulda been great as one of the MANY amazing B-sides from this era. But I'd rather have another banger. I dig surf rock though, so I still dig it.

Warning:

-Favorite: Blood, Sex, and Booze. This song is fucking underrated.

-Least: Macy's Day Parade. It was just ok to me. It grew on me.

American Idiot:

-Favorite: Letterbomb. It gives me chills. This is an example of aural perfection. (Honorable Mention: Give Me Novacaine.)

-Least: BOBD. Loved it at first, but holy shit was it overplayed once the masses got a hold of it. It's still one of the greatest endings though.

21stCB:

-Favorite: Murder City. Gives me chills, a la Letterbomb. And I got Billie to play it in houston, during and after he dedicated it to me. More of that sweet, sweet validation.

-Least: Know Your Enemy. First time I ever felt 'Meh' about a GD tune. Especially a lead single.

UNO:

-Favorite: Let Yourself Go. The fucking energy on this tune. I still need to see it live.

-Least: Oh Love. Awful fucking song. You'd have to be on pills n' booze to think this was A- a good song, B-good enough to be the lead fucking single. First time I said, 'Oh, Billie, No.' But not the last.

DOS:

-Favorite: Lazy Bones. More chills, like Letterbomb & Murder City. I need to see this one live too. To me, a sequel to Basketcase. (Honorable Mention: Stray Heart & Amy)

-Least: Nightlife. Get that obnoxious, talentless twat out of the vocal booth, out of the studio, and toss her stinkin' ass in the dumspter out back.

TRE:

-Favorite: 8th Avenue Serenade. A gem on a blah of an album. (Honorable Mention: Missing You & Amanda)

-Least: Tie - The Forgotten & 99 Revolutions. [Fart Noise]

RevRad:

-Favorite: Tie - Forever Now & Still Breathing. Forever Now shreds and has The Who all over it. Still Breathing came out after some awful tragedies in my life and can still make me cry if I think too hard during the song.

-Least: Say Goodbye. Meh. It's aight.

FOAM:

-Favorite: Tie - Sugar Youth & Teenage Teenager. Because I have every intent to (still) be scoring drugs and doing Yayo by a river in my late 40s. And they're good fucking songs.

-Least: Fire, Ready, Aim. Just, no.

39/Smooth

• Best: Paper Lanterns. Total banger that reminds me of one of the best shows I've ever been to in Costa Rica. At the Library is a close second.
• Worst: Green Day. I don't even remember what it sounds like tbh. I guess I think it's forgettable.

Kerplunk

• Best: 2000 Light Years Away. Catchy LDR anthem.
• Worst: Going to say Dominated Love Slave. It's fun, but I can live without it.

Dookie

• Best: I would've said Sassafras Roots in the past, but Basket Case is somehow the song that's reminded me of seeing Green Day live during the pandemic. I mean, it's one of their most famous songs for a reason and if I hadn't heard it so often, I'd probably appreciate it even more. So I'm going with that.
• Worst: All By Myself, just because it's annoying when I'm listening to a playlist, FOD ends and I have to stop what I'm doing to walk over and move it on if I don't want to listen to the silence

Insomniac

• Best: Westbound Sign. Another catchy LDR anthem.
• Worst: Maybe Geek Stink Breath because I've heard it more often than the rest. It's a hard one though. There isn't a song I really dislike on Insomniac.

Nimrod

• Best: Scattered. Reminds of the European RevRad Tour. Shoutout to Redundant and Prosthetic Head.
• Worst: Haushinka. I don't hate it, but the lyrics and tune are Nimrod's least exciting to me.

Warning

• Best: This is a way more difficult one than I thought! Maybe Macy's Day Parade. It's a beautiful closer.
• Worst: The title track. Again, just because I've heard it more often than the rest. I still like it.

Shenanigans

• Best: Suffocate. Perfect example of Billie's ability to make misery catchy.
• Worst: Scumbag. One of my least favourite Green Day songs. The tune is dull and the lyrics don't do anything for me either.

American Idiot

• Best: Homecoming. Reminds me of seeing Billie play St. Jimmy on Broadway and thinking how Deep™ the "you taught me how to live" line was to me then. Also represents my own journey from hating my background and heritage to embracing it in the time I've loved Green Day. It's replaced Letterbomb as my favourite just because I've heard that so much.
• Worst: Extraordinary Girl. I love the musical version and like the original, but it's the least exciting song on American Idiot for me and the one I'm most likely to skip. Although I'm also likely to skip Letterbomb and the singles because I've overplayed them.

21st Century Breakdown

• Best: ¡Viva La Gloria! I've also overplayed this but I'll still call it my favourite song of all time because it's always meant so much to me. I won't say the song itself changed my life, but it inspired me to change my life.
• Worst: East Jesus Nowhere. Yet again, only because I've heard it way too often with it being on Awesome as Fuck. Previously I would've said Last of the American Girls.

¡Uno!

• Best: Fell For You. Recycling what I've said about it before, that it's the perfect depiction of falling in love with someone you shouldn't. I lost my shit seeing The Longshot play it live!
• Worst: Carpe Diem. People hate Troublemaker's lyrics, but at least it's funny and super catchy. Carpe Diem isn't.

¡Dos!

• Best: Stray Heart. It's just so fun and catchy while quietly poignant. Wild One is also especially fabulous.
• Worst: Ashley. I love all the songs on ¡Dos! but that's the least exciting and one I'm most likely to skip.

¡Tré!

• Best: 8th Avenue Serenade, but that's such a hard one! There's Brutal Love, Missing You, X-Kid, Drama Queen, The Forgotten and even Walk Away has grown on me recently.
• Worst: Little Boy Named Train. It's boring.

Revolution Radio

• Best: Still Breathing. I've never cried as much as I did when I first heard this. It still means a lot to me and hasn't got boring despite me playing it as much as others I've got tired of. I also love that whilst there are people who don't get the hype, it means as much to some as it does to me for completely different reasons. Billie mentioned wanting to write a song that could resonate with everyone like that and he achieved it.
• Worst: Troubled Times. I appreciate the sentiment and I certainly don't hate it, but I rarely want to listen to it. Youngblood is saved by being fun live and my fond memory of "fuck you I'm from ENGLAND" in Leeds.

Father of All Motherfuckers

• Best: Meet Me on the Roof. It's so fun despite being another one that's quietly depressing. I love how the lines like "I'm taking drowning lessons" are presented in an overly sweet way though.
• Worst: Junkies on a High. The lyrics are decent, but it drags on and on without ever becoming interesting and it's never grown on me. Another one of my least favourite Green Day songs. Teenage Teenager is also pretty bad.

And for the side projects I care about:

Money Money 2020, which has nothing to do with Green Day but we pretend it does

• Best: Supermodel Robots. It's a bop and it's hilarious. AAAAA! AAAAA! AAAAA! Siren noises!
• Worst: Teenagers from Mars. I don't even want to listen to it to remember why I don't like it.

Stop Drop & Roll!!!

• Best: I know it's a bonus track but Highway 1. It's one of Billie's saddest songs, along with 27th Ave. Shuffle, but there is something about the sound of 27th Ave. Shuffle that gives away how sad it is. Highway 1 just sounds like a party and it's a total banger.
• Worst: Red Tide. People give Drama Queen shit for being "creepy" and mentioning periods, but have you ever met Red Tide? It isn't even catchy or enjoyable to listen to. Probably my least favourite song by any Green Day-related project.

The Frustrators

• Best: Stigma. What a bop!
• Worst: I way overplayed Hide and Seek when it came out so although I still technically like it, I really don't want to listen to it anymore.

Love is for Losers

• Best: Turn Me Loose. There isn't a song I don't love on this album but Turn Me Loose is so much fun!
• Worst: Happiness, but I still love it. I just love the sound slightly less than every other solid banger on Love is for Losers.

The only Pinhead Gunpowder song I care about is their Achin' to Be cover, so I don't even remember enough to choose one I like least.

1039 

BEST: At the Library 

best intro! hypes me up every time

WORST: 1000 HOURS

cringey song, boring song.

 

Kerplunk

BEST: 2000 Light Years Away

what a perfect punk pop rock whatever you want to call it song, it's adorable

WORST: if we are counting the extra songs, Strangeland

This track is unnecessary. you know it. 

 

Dookie

BEST: Coming Clean/Basket Case

I could listen to these songs over and over and over and over

WORST: I can't do that friend

 

insomniac

BEST: Stuart and the Ave

idk if it's the bratty lyrics or the bassline, but it's like jesus gave me a song from his hands.

WORST: Bab's uvula who

i don't hate it but it's certainly not something i listen to on repeat.

 

Nimrod

BEST: Scattered

I think this song really shows their ability for a song with great song writing. 

WORST: Take Back

i don't hate it but it's certainly not something i listen to on repeat. 

 

Warning

BEST: Church on Sunday

it is catchy and i love the melody so much

WORST: Jackass

it's okay, very mediocre to me

 

American idiot

BEST: American Idiot

this is one of their best songs and it will never get old.

WORST: Novacaine 

This is the only song i wouldn't give a 5/5 on this album. it gets like a 4.5/5 because his voice sounds whiny in the beginning. 

 

21st CB

BEST: Murder City/LOTAG

these songs are a lot of fun, murder city is a good straightforward punk rock tune, LOTAG i love the guitar. I think it's cool it fades into murder city.

WORST: Song of the Century? Is that cheating? Fine, See the Light

see the light is really forgettable for me. 

 

Uno

BEST: Let Yourself Go/sweet 16

this song is so fun and catchy/i know it's cheesy but i think it's also very catchy

WORST: Loss of Control

this is a cringey ass song that took no effort

 

Dos

BEST: Stray Heart

what a great song, this was the style i thought they were going for on FOAM when they described "motown" inspired. I love the music video as well.

WORST: Makeout Party/Wild One/Nightlife

Horrible waste of a good bass line/this song puts me to sleep/Horrible waste of a good bass line

 

Tre

Best: x-kid/8th ave 

X-Kid is a great reflection on someone who struggled so much, and the riff is great. 8th ave i find really fun and unique for gd's sound.

WORST: Amanda/99 revolutions

boring as hell/this song goes on at least 3 minutes longer than it should

 

Rev Rad

BEST: Bang Bang

best single since american idiot, incredible 5/5 song. everything i want from GD

WORST: Troubled Times

this song is trying to say something but fails. it's generic and boring.

 

FOAM

BEST: Grafitia 

we all know this should have been the only song released from this album and maybe sugar youth

WORST: Fire, ready, aim/Teenage Teenager/Junkies

no more hand claps please/so boring and horrible lyrics/this is not a good song.

What’s up y’all?

Ok, I’m gonna do one at a time.

I truly am having trouble finding “worsts”.

RR

Best - Forever Now

Worst - Ordinary World (I actually love every song on the album, including this one but I think it’s the only one that doesn’t fit the narrative and was thrown on. 

It’s all I got. I’ll add more later. Hope everyone has been well.

What?!?

I see a couple “all by myself”s and I’m amazed. One of their best of all time. Who doesn’t like a song about Tre jerking off and singing like a child on a secret track? Tsk tsk tsk.

21st Century Breakdown
Least favourite song: Song of the Century
uninteresting intro track skip to the next song plz thank you cd player for skip track feature

I think Song of the Century actually does a really good job at setting up the rest of the album. Of course it's only an intro track but I think it really adds to the album, much more than an intro track like See You Tonight on Dos
