1. Dilemma

2. Strange Days... 

3. TADIKM or Suzie Chapstick 

I no longer listen to One Eyed Bastard. It's a skip for me pretty much every time and the worst song on the album IMO. 

Yeah, I don't dislike One Eyed Bastard but I got tired of it pretty quickly. It certainly lacks something all the other tracks have.

[Virginia Lot Lizard]

Top three changes every day but Suzie Chapstick was my fav on first listen and is still my #1 pic.

I think it’s because the writing of the song lyrics for OEB are more character driven instead of more emotionally driven.

[Little Boy Named Booze]

Strange Days 
Not even a question.

1. Corvette Summer
2. Dilemma
3. The American Dream Is Killing Me

Singles were really strong but Corvette Summer really surprised me of how catchy can cowbell song be and it's definitely the best song in the album. I never was a fan of Look Ma and Bobby Sox ended up being too repetitive to my ears, although 1981 doesn't share that same problem.

As for top 3 worst songs..

1. Suzie Chapstick
2. Coma City
3. Fancy Sauce

I can't hear nothing but finnish rock and roll from Suzie Chapstick. Coma City brings me up all the reasons why I hate Here Comes the Shark, which sounds like AI generated Green Day song. Fancy Sauce has awful lyrics, but is otherwise solid closer.

I don't agree with your worst picks, but I love your top pick. Corvette Summer slaps so hard! 

[The 99th revolution]

I also disagree with like almost all the worst. I must admit Suzie isn't really as good, but Coma City and Fancy Sauce slap like bass!

[Gonzalo17]

The thing with strange days IS that IS very similar to rusty james and letterbomb (even Who wrote holden caulfield?)

[Robbie1039]

Mine are currently Dilemma, Corvette Summer, and Fancy Sauce, but they do change often!  These were favorites for me when I first heard the album as well.  Other favorites are Goodnight Adeline, Coma City, One Eyed Bastard…but the entire track list is one big favorite.  The ones I don’t listen to as much are Suzie Chapstick and Father to a Son, but they’re still very good. 

[Alan86]

Goodnight Adeline

Dilemma

Look Ma! No Brains

 

 

Worst 3

Father to a Son

Saviors

Corvette Summer 

[GreenDayJunkie86]

No skips on either for me and definitely couldn't pick a definitive top few songs 

[Red Lights Flash]

Pretty clear top 3 for me.

1) Dilemma

2) Look Ma No Brains

3) Bobby Sox

My least favourite is Father to a son.

[Hermione]

Surprised Strange Days is that popular! It's good, but it contains the worst line on the album "like fairydust and ballyhoo". That thing Billie does of saying "something" and "something" with at least one of the things being whimsical (eg cherry bombs and gasoline) is very played out at this point, he should drop it. 

[jengd]

Don’t agree, I think it’s a reference to all the stuff that is fleeting and lacking in substance for me.

[þjáningu]

my top 3 shifts around from week to week 

 

this week it is 

 

Goodnight Adeline

Living in the 20s

Suzie Chapstick

[That Dude]

Strange Days - if the entire record sounded the same, I'd want it to sound like this one.  

Goodnight Adeline - that melody is epic, that emotion is a whopper.   There's tears, there's whine and probably piss and puke too, because it's Billie Joe.  

Fancy Sauce -  Favorite line on the record?  I'M SO FAMOUS / YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S FAMOUS / STUPID AND CONTAGIOUS.    Billie's screaming and the music swelling, I will always have the memory of the listening party tied to these songs.   I got shivers.    I was wiping my eyes.   I was looking around the room at everybody else.   WHOA.

Merci pour cette poste.

 

My three favourite songs from this great album are still "Strange Days Are Here To Stay", "Living In The 20s" and "Saviours", honorable mentions for "1981" and "Suzie Chapstick" as well - overall Side B is glorious, i have heard it already double the times i have done so for Side A and considering the latter were out mostly months before shows how better it is (without disliking Side A, it also has many energetic and impressive tracks).

Unfortunately i still find absolutely no reason for "Look Ma No Brains"' existance, it is horrific and makes me even to respect "Uno!" as a whole. "Coma City" is simply a mixture of 2 "21st Century Breakdown" era B-sides, absolutely worthless, lately the verses in "Bobby Sox" seem very obnoxious to me although the chorus makes up for it.

Only other thing i firmly dislike in the album is the pitch increase in "Goodnight Adeline". This feature may have worked in "Static Age", "Brutal Love", "Walk Away" and "Dirty Rotten ***tards", however i do not think it applies equally in a quite different instrument-wise album.

Note: the following is an expression about the voting system's results. No offenses are attempted.

Spoiler

"1981" and "Saviours" having less positive votes than "Look Ma No Brains" and "Coma City" should be illegal.

i am glad the audience shares my flavour, at least for the first place.

[Saviour]

Definitely hear the similarities between Strange Days and Rusty James. Very similar chord progression. Letterbomb to some extent. 

RJ is the best song on the entire Trilogy. Letterbomb is one of the band's best ever tracks. 

Rusty + Letterbomb = Surefire HEATER.

Glad we all massively disagree on most things in this thread though. 😄

Coma City is a weird one... It SHOULD be a great track, but it just doesn't land for me. As someone said, it's like a generic recreation of a 21CB track.

Coma City est bizarre... Ça DEVRAIT être une super piste, mais ça ne me convient tout simplement pas. Comme quelqu'un l'a dit, c'est comme une reconstitution générique d'une piste 21CB. 

Spoiler

Hint: listen to the two original b-sides from "21st Century Breakdown". One's verses sound as "Coma City"'s verses, the pre-chorus and chorus of the other are extremely similar to "Coma City"'s ''chorus''.

[Montclare]

So top 5 from this poll are SDAHTS, Dilemma, Suzie Chapstick, Goodnight Adeline, and Fancy Sauce.  Now the question is, how many of those will they actually play live?  So far, Dilemma is the only one we've heard.

[Nikto66]

My top 3 is

 

Dilemma

Coma City

Strange Days

 

but also..

Goodnight Adeline

Living in the 20s

LMNB

 

that rotate in and out

 of the top 3.

After a month I'd normally have clear faves but this album just makes me want to play it on repeat. Making the dinner? Stick it on. Doing laundry? Stick it on. Working out? Stick it on. Need some background noise? Stick it on. It's so good. Best I've felt about a green day album since Breakdown and I even enjoyed the trilogy and foam when they came out.

I always seem to put the album on when I am working. Thoughts on Rev Rad?

[pacejunkie punk]

Looking at these results, similar to FOAM the top favorite songs were not singles. Maybe SDAHTS and Suzie Chapstick should have been singles?
