21st Century Breakdown. It has always been and always will be my favourite. Such a great tracklist.

American Idiot. Yeah yeah, cliche, I know. But it's the album that got me into Green Day and shaped me in so many ways. I wasn't even aware of how deep a mark that album left on me until they announced they'd be playing Dookie and AI in their entirety live, and I just knew I had a to go to more shows to see that. And as hyped as I was for getting Dookie in full, the excitement of seeing AI was on a whole other level. The experience of it being played live was just such an emotional thing for me. I don't think I'd get that with any other album. 

That said, I really really really love most of their albums and a bit like @GreenDayJunkie86, my "favorite" at a given time, or the one that I play on repeat at given time, varies throughout the year, and depends a lot on my mood or what I haven't listened to in a while. But even the trilogy, which is my least favorite era, has gotten played quite a bit in the last year.

My favorite still is American Idiot. There was a time I couldn't decide between Dookie and AI, but seeing AI live really solidified it for me. Similar to @Cris. that album got me into the band. Hearing it live was so special. It took me back to that era and falling in love with the band. It was just a happy time.

Yep, American idiot got me into green day as well. The album is simply amazing. 

It is a very relatable album, most of the songs on it speak to me

I love everything that they've produced so far, but if I had to say a favorite, it's gotta be 21st Century Breakdown. I consider it the absolute peak of Green Day, the album cycle when they were at the peak of their powers. The album is huge and cinematic and there's not a track I don't like. (Shoutout to Peacemaker, Modern World, and Christian's Inferno, you don't get talked about as much as you should). The 21st Century Breakdown World Tour is the stuff of absolute legend, Awesome as F**K is one of my favorite live albums ever. I don't have words to describe how much 21st Century Breakdown means to me, honestly. 

A day won't come when I won't feel a warm feeling hearing a buzz of radio static and the words...

Sing us a song of the century...

That's louder than bombs and eternity...

The era of static and contraband...

Leading us into the promised land...

Tell me a story that's by candlelight...

Waging a war and losing the fight...

They're playing the song of the century...

Panic and promise and prosperity...

Tell us a story into that good night...

Sing us a song for me...

Nimrod is perfection. I just love that specific sound it has with the surfy influence and how many different and quirky things they did with it.

Cliché but American Idiot. There's not a single song I skip, or like less, it's just so strong as an album. Also BIAB was the first GD album I ever heard so it was the era I got into them. It's just an epic, up there in the annals of rock history as one of the best albums ever written. 

 

I struggle to order the rest in terms of preference, apart from the ones I like least, because on any given day it could be Insomniac, Warning, Kerplunk, 21CB, Rev Rad, or Saviors in position no. 2 - it just depends what mood I'm in 😅

Those are exactly my feelings, and also exactly the albums that rotate in my no. 2 position. But like, exactly 😅
