Karen. Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I agree with the JAR suggestions. I only started to appreciate this song when AAF came out. Love that version. Although I am also tempted to nominate Reject as someone was rejected from his flight yesterday. Also, I need to listed to Nimrod more often.

Live version is awesome, I love when Billie screams : "what's in your heart, Michigaaaan!!" But the Reject suggestion is appropriate too (love new smileys ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasalaska Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Heh, Reject, that's actually quite witty... and snarky. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disapperingirl Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 No suggestions?? Oh well, I think this week we could discuss J.A.R....it hasn't any particular connections to this week's happening ( actually nothing special happened this week... ), but as a lot of people said above, it's a song than always generates toughts and discussions... Edit: and next week something off of American Idiot for sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigister Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I propose Armatage Shanks, just I'm so related to it right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basKT_case90 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 At the Library Being the FIRST song on Green Day's FIRST album. Hearing those repeating crunching chords immediately as you put the CD in. It's such a great song! The lyrics are just so innocent coming from a young and lovelorn Billie. I'm sure many of us can relate to this at one point in our lives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KilljoyFromDetroit Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 i think J.A.R. because the last "quote/phrase" part billie sings, has to be one of the most meaningful parts to a song that i have ever heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undómiel Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Boulevard Of Broken Dreams? I think it's such a beautiful song and the mental images that it brings with are just so strong. Also to hear it live is completely spine tingling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disapperingirl Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Yep I agree with Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Perfect to celebrate American Idiot 7th anniversary.... :good: and then, now that autumn is coming, to walk on a street covered with leaves under a grey sky, makes me really feel like I'm walking alone, and "my shadow's the only one that walks beside me"...

Undómiel Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 It seems like such a "big" song, that I was surprised we hadn't had it yet.., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJesusOfSuburbiaIsALie Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I can't believe that Boulevard hasn't been SotW yet! It is an amazing song! And loads of people got into Green Day cause of that song, especially in my country. People didn't know what GD was before that song so I thikn it deserves to be SotW! 86 is a good song too! Both of these are awesome songs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasalaska Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 86 is a good song too! Both of these are awesome songs! 86 already has a SotW page here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undómiel Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 As far as I can tell from scanning the lists; Basket Case hasn't been a song of the week yet. What is this travesty? And seeing as no one else has voted for anything I thought I'd just put that out there.... I feel this song is actually better live than on CD, guessing some people are going to disagree with me on that one. I just think it's a fun song and it deserves to be SoTW...

Laura! Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I'm gonna say All The Time. One of my favorites off of Nimrod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissawebster Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Okay, forget my last suggestion. Since we've got the anniversary of American Idiot this week, then I'm suggesting "I Don't Care" from the American Idiot album. It is my favorite song on the album because it is just so unbelievably emotional. The music and lyrics go together so perfectly and you just know this is they really felt when they wrote it. Full of anger and absolute honesty, it moves me every single time I hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're more than welcome to go and post in the Homecoming thread about I Don't Care though Um... am I reading it wrong? I think "I Don't Care" is part of JOS, not Homecoming. Right? And I was talking about it as a stand-alone song. Can it not be done that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I was talking about it as a stand-alone song. Can it not be done that way? Sorry, I meant Jesus of Suburbia. It's not a stand-alone song, it's a part of a bigger song. As it's already been discussed in JoS, there's no point in making a new SotW for something that isn't a whole song anyway. As I said though, I'd love for you to go and post your thoughts in the JoS thread, as you've obviously got something good to say Anyone is free to go and post their thoughts about any of the old songs with a SotW thread.

gmcloughlin Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 How about Road To Acceptance? Its just one of those songs that alot of people can relate to at some point in their adolescent lives when they think they wanna change who they are because they don't fit in with society, but most people grow outta that and accept who they are.

Bastard of 1967 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Walking Contradiction. Reasons: (1) Been awhile since we dipped back into Insomniac [Edit: Rats, I missed "86" in the list at the beginning of last month. So sue me.]; (2) Billie's wordplay in the lyrics is fan-fucking-tabulous, I think we can really get into it in the discussion; (3) Bass. Mmmmm. Bass.

San Miguel Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 How about Chump? Mainly because it's a great song that hasn't been chosen yet. and, in the sweetest possible way, a lot of us are jealous of people who went to Thursday's surprise show, despite not even seeing their faces!

Elena Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 hm...i wanted to nominate Wake Me Up When September Ends, but i see that it already was a song of the week....it would have fitted soo good, i mean: it's september + it's the 10th anniversary of 9/11 this year and this month a plane with 45 ppl on board crashed....a whole hockey team of the russian first league was in that plane, that's why i really just can say: "Wake me up when September ends!!" (+ i've broken my collarbone this month, but i guess that doesn't count ) ...but since it already was a song of the week i go along with Bastard of 1967 and say Walking Contradiction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
