Godless Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 American Idiot and Insomniac are my favourite albums (Followed closely by Warning and Nimrod) Dookie is my least favourite album, and I never listen to it. The only songs I like off it are the ones that made it onto ISH I think Knowledge is one of the best songs they have done. I love the Trilogy. All of it. Homecoming is leagues better than Jesus of Suburbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homecoming is leagues better than Jesus of Suburbia. I disagree about Knowledge, Green Day's version doesn't stand a chance if you compare it to the original by Op Ivy! Nice that you like Insomniac that much though, probably my favourite too along with Warning I think. Anyways, I think that Warning has some of Green Day's best lyrics yet, though some of the other albums are quite awesome too. I don't think it's unpopular in a negative way ( at least I don't hope so) but it's a pretty unusual opinion. I mean man, "Get your philosophy from a bumper sticker", I think it's fucking brilliant. The whole Warning album is a fucking masterpiece, because GD took their own path and tried something very fucking rad and new, and different. I mean, there are not many things out there that sounds like Warning. Who would've guessed that Green Day would do an album like that one? masterpiece, masterpiece. UNDERRATED.

Guest Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I gotta agree about Warning. It's easily my favourite album they've done. Is it true it's one of their worst sellers, or is that Nimrod? I can never remember but either way, I don't understand how that happened. I'd buy it a thousand times over if I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyDirnt Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 You mean vocally? It's not like he sang many songs before that... Only Homecoming right? Apart from backing vocals. He has solo in I Was There on 39/Smooth and Homecoming on American Idiot. I mean they've been wasting his talent generally over the last records. First in AI and 21st CB you could barely hear the bass at all because it always followed the guitar. Then there's also that since 21st Century Breakdown Mike's backing vocals have been mixed with Billie's voice so that you can never distinguish Mike's voice. I can in Stay The Night, but it's done on purpose by the producers. But for example if you listen to the chorus of East Jesus Nowhere you can't hear Mike properly. If you go and listen to Nice Guys Finish Last or Words I Might Have Ate or almost any 90s song you can perfectly hear and recognise Mike's voice.

I know that much It would be kind of wrong to compare the older albums to the trilogy I think, because nowadays no one sells that many records anymore, with all the piracy and illegal downloading and all that stuff.. Edit: And yeah, Warning is the least "commercial success" compared to the other ones, Insomniac sold a lot more copies than Warning. In fact, I think Insomniac is the third album to have sold most copies after Dookie and American Idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Insomniac has sold 8 milliin Warning 1.2 million Oops I made a mistake. I meant to say Insomniac sold more than Warning. My bad It would be kind of wrong to compare the older albums to the trilogy I think, because nowadays no one sells that many records anymore, with all the piracy and illegal downloading and all that stuff.. Maybe it's not useful with comparisons but I think if people really like an artist then the record sales are still useful. With kids I know, if they like a band a lot they'll buy the album, even if it is on iTunes.Edit: And yeah, Warning is the least "commercial success" compared to the other ones, Insomniac sold a lot more copies than Warning.

I think it's something like Dookie, AI, Insomniac, then Nimrod for the four most sold albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to Green Day, I refuse to download any of their music. I either buy it on CD or I don't listen to it. I can't even listen to it on YouTube until I've bought the CD, I just feel guilty That may be kind of sad, but whatever. I just couldn't do it.

I'm proud to say I have never illegally downloaded music online. Every album I have is either a CD, vinyl, or (very rarely) an iTunes purchase. I listen to music on YouTube occasionally but only if I don't have enough money to buy whatever CD the music is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I never cared for Mike as a singer cant stand Governator Tho u do think he's great at doing background vocals I can't stand Governator either. Sorry, Mike, I love you, but I'm just not a fan of your voice except on Nobody Likes You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather. Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I have to agree that Mike can't really sing and Governator sucks I do think Mike has a good punk spoken-word type of voice and can do that awesome bit on American Eulogy really well, and he's perfectly suited to sing those parts, but in terms of actual melody, he's not lead singer material. But that's why he's the bass player, doy. I'm curious why he sings that one line on Sex Drugs & Violence... he doesn't do it badly, it's totally fine and it's nice random variety, but if you think Billie wouldn't have sung it better, you're in denial.
