Jon Benjamin Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 compare strangeland to say, murder city though. the boy's improved, give him credit! ehh, "we are the last call and we're so pathetic" sounds like he says "super-thetic" weird pronunciation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cob Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 are we taking early green day to include kerplunk? Right? I can't figure it out, when did Billie have all that time to masturbate when he was too busy contemplating death and the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be, I sort them out Sweet Children-Kerplunk- early Green Day, Dookie-Warning- 90's Green Day, and AI-now current Green Day. 90's Green Day isn't a good name for the Dookie-Warning category, but it's not really early Green Day and it's not current.

Guest Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 How do you guys rank the releases anyway? 1) Dookie and American Idiot 2) Kerplunk and 21st Century Breakdown 3) Nimrod 4) Warning: 5) Trilogy 6) Insomniac 7) 1039/SOSH No no no no no no no no no no no Don't turn it into one of those threads. We had about a bajillion of them when the Trilogy first came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musso_kn Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 There's something humbling about a band that can pour a shit-ton of emotion into an almost 10 minute epic like Jesus of Suburbia and then turn around and make something just as sincere and moving with a simple pop song like Missing You. It's that emotion and soul that makes even songs like Missing You epic, so as to speak. What a band. But, wait, unpopular opinion, unpopular opinion... I need to temporarily hate on them before I get too soppy over a group of forty year old blokes. Nahhh, I got nothing today, man.How do you guys rank the releases anyway? 1) Dookie and American Idiot 2) Kerplunk and 21st Century Breakdown 3) Nimrod 4) Warning: 5) Trilogy 6) Insomniac 7) 1039/SOSH I refuse to list the albums. Ever. It's just morally wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayfabe Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 i really love reject and i never see people talk about it but it's one of my favorites on nimrod to be honest, I think without its singles Nimrod is just that kind of album. A collection of very good songs top to bottom that individuals find their own particular loves in. seriously though I vividly remember someone in here slagging off Haushinka. reveal yourself so I can fight u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musso_kn Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Least favourite popular song: Nice Guys Finish Last. It's alright; nothing mind blowing, though. I absolutely adore Tight Wad Hill. Don't think that's very popular but it's one of my favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cob Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 i really love reject and i never see people talk about it but it's one of my favorites on nimrod Oooooo. Reject has such intense and aggressive energy. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomyflashy Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Okay guys, let me tell you what I think! : 1) Android is the best song they've ever done. ( And Murder City O.O ) 2) Though I think 21st Century Breakdown and American Idiot are Epic, I love Tré and Insomniac. 3) I can't bear Restless Heart Syndrome 4) Even if I love all the albums, the worse album is Kerplunk!

Kayfabe Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 I actually think the bridge and ending to Restless Heart Syndrome is one of the best things Green Day have ever done. Perfectly captures that sense of fury, inner conflict and (self) loathing that the protagonist was feeling. All the more powerful considering his battles with alcohol.

Blond-O-Sonic Shimmer Trap Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 The demo of 21st Century Breakdown whilst not as well produced as the final version (obviously) is better, the way he sings "last one born first one to run" should have been kept. Although I mostly listen to the Awesome As Fuck version because I was at Wembley and every time I listen to it it takes me back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The piano intro I also like the production (or lack of)... Just perfect, but I love the album version too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I'd like to quickly point out that while I understand some may not like the style of early Green Day, I feel no one should really be "hating" on it because without that early stuff, our dudes today wouldn't exist. Plus, Kerplunk is what got them signed to a major label, which created Dookie and the rest is history. So even if ya'll dislike the music, 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours and Kerplunk are extremely important. Anyway. My least favorite popular Green Day song: American Idiot. I love the album but I can barely stand the song anymore. Eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave To The Network Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I don't like Green Day's cover of Knowledge or the original Operation Ivy song. I don't like All By Myself or Dominated Love Slave either. Sorry, Tré. To be frank, I really don't like most of Green Day's "experimental" stuff.

I love the album but I can barely stand the song anymore. Eh. Really? I would expect American Idiot to be one of your favorite songs. This whole week I've been obsessed with that song. The attitude, the energy, the aggression that punches into each strum. Everything about that song is done so well, even if it's just a simple punk rock song. Can you imagine being a kid, walking into your living room where your parents are watching Letterman and seeing this for the first time? My mind would absolutely explode.

Clockwise Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Just wanted to clear up in this thread that Sweet Children is not the first release Green Day put out. It was actually put out after 39/smooth and Slappy had been out for a while and was the last thing John Kiffmeyer recorded with them. The reason why it sounds so shitty is because it was recorded in two hours, but yeah. Not sure if anyone had/got the wrong impression, but just thought it needed to be said.
