Found this today and am in agreement with the list. I am glad that Deadbeat Holiday was included. One of my favorites.

Green Day's Top 10 Songs

With Green Day riding the roller coaster of a career they’ve been having, now seems as good a time as ever to check out the band's top 10 songs. Green Day is one of the punk bands emerging in the '90s accredited with popularizing punk rock in mainstream music. Green Day has found incredible success over the years. The band has released 10 studio albums, selling 65 million records worldwide, performed countless tours, as well as won multiple awards and even boast a Broadway show based off of their album, American Idiot. They are currently in the middle of releasing a trilogy of albums: Uno!, Dos!, and Tre!, with Dos! recently released on November 13, while Tre! is set to be released December 11. The band is also on pause, tour-wise, dealing with lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong’s recent rehab stint. However, through ups and downs, Green Day seem to still be at a high point in their career, and don’t seem like they’ll be stopping anytime soon.

In honor of Green Day’s rebel attitude, I’ve decided to write this top 10 with the same mentality, not looking to please anyone, just putting up whatever songs I believe are the band's top 10. And here they are:

So there you have it, there are clearly some songs that didn’t make the list that could have. However, I believe this is the perfect blend of songs to showcase Green Day as a band. On another note, though I haven’t included any of the newer songs off of albums Uno! and Dos!, I was very close to doing so. I want to make it well aware that the newer albums that Green Day is coming out with are also great, making this band all the more impressive. They may have changed over the years, but the greatest bands out there have. Bands today have to mature through themselves to grow musically as well as stay relevant. I personally am looking very forward to the release of their next album, Tre!, and I encourage anybody that may not already be a fan of Green Day to listen to their discography. I wish the best of luck to the entire band in their current pause from touring, and look forward to what the future of Green Day holds.

Last of The American Girls on the list? Eh...

Billie Joe on list of top 10 Onstage Meltdowns

8. Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day, 2012

On September 21, during a Green Day performance at Las Vegas' iHeartRadio Music Festival, Armstrong becomes extremely agitated onstage and halts the band's set midway through their performance of the 1994 hit "Basket Case". In an F-bomb-filled rant, Armstrong complains about their time being cut short, and targets the event's promoters. "I'm not f---in' Justin Bieber, you motherf---ers!," he declares, before smashing his guitar and storming off. Armstrong enters rehab two days later.

Mmm... so it's supposed to be a "new" interview or something?

I'm dubious, at least I can't see it being anything we don't already know, not to a random magazine

Have you guys seen this? Cracked.com is at it again. I guess this isn't really news, but it's fucking ridiculous and I wanted to share it, but it doesn't need a whole thread.

Ah, okay then. Good thing I didn't make thread. After all, assholes like that Cracked.com author don't deserve a whole thread about their article. :lol:

I don't know if you guys have seen this video or not, but when Bruno Mars was on SNL (honestly, the date escapes me, someone just shared this with me on Facebook), he imitated Green Day, among others.

Green Day is first in the row of imitations, but the entire video is hilarious.

LOL Sorry! :P

There was a point when I wasn't on top of the Green Day news for a while (before the trilogy), that's probably why I missed it. haha
