boringdays Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 If you're just getting into em because of the trilogy, I'd highly recommend you start with their newer stuff first and work your way back. Jumping straight back to the 1039/Kerplunk days might settle better that way, they've really evolved. edit: Don't really have any recommendations aside from checking out The Foxboro Hot Tubs. If nobody else has said it, that's a side project they did with a real 60's garage rock style. It's been said that DOS is basically Foxboro's second album. If you like the trilogy, you'll like them. Check out the songs "The Pedistrian," "Mother Mary" & "Ruby Room." AVOID THE NETWORK (for now) very very different from everything else. And lastly if you like their earlier stuff (say dookie/insomniac), look up Pinhead Gunpowder. That's Billie's side band, they're more straight punk, check out their songs "Westside Highway," "Life During Wartime," & "Anniversary Song" When you count the side projects, you've got a huge fuckin catalog to search through bud. Smart choice asking for tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iva Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Get their discography off some torrent or on some streaming site and listen to everything. Album a day or album every two days; from the start, to see how they are evolving and maturing. Once done, give a listen to Pinhead Gunpowder, The Network, Foxboro Hot Tubs and other side projects. Missing anything is missing the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 It's far too rare that we get a genuinely new fan on here asking these kind of questions. It's good. If you want to explore the range of this band's talent's, start off with Warning which is their first real experimental album (more experimental than Nimrod) and parts of their latest Trilogy (Nightlife and Brital Love particularly) as these are all quite "out there". Other than that, International Superhits is a collection of their singles from the 1990s (plus a coupe of new songs) so that might be worth listening to as well as the "big hitters" like American Idiot and Dookie. I agree, leave their first two albums 'til last. The quality of the music is no less than the other albums, but the low level of production might put you off. hi can we be friends this is pretty much my thought exactly especially about Nimrod/Warning I NEVER GET IT why is Nimrod classed as 'experimental' compared to Warning i mean seriously has anyone who says Nimrod is experimental actually listen to those two albums?! i'll leave now goodbye.

greendeusecha' Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Je suis devenu fan de green day il y a peut de temps, environs 4 mois, je suis allé les voirs à Arras vers le nord de la France. Il y a beaucoup de musiques de green day que j'aime bien en commençant par les plus connus : when i come around, welcome to paradise, basket case, boulevard of broken dreams, holiday, wake me up , when september ends, 21 guns. Je ne pense pas en avoir oublié et ensuite parmi ceux qui ne passe ni à la radio, ni à la télé en ce moment il y a : waiting, minority, stay the night, 99 revolutions, going to pasalacqua, don't leave me, 16, King for a day, fuck time, kill the dj, missing you, enfin je ne vais pas toutes vous les dires il y en a beaucoups trop que j'aime bien !

Disapperingirl Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Everyone gave you great suggestions here. I think you should listen to a few songs from all the albums (other people mentioned the greatest songs off each album before), choose the song you feel more "attracted" to and listen to that album first you'll love all of Green Day's work though!

green day is Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 and how am i being silly, do explain. Because the only political song on the album is Holiday, and if you want to count it Favorite Son.

Guest Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I am horribly sorry for describing the album in the easiest way possible ill go back and put that in instead shall I? The easiest way to describe it would be "a pop-punk/emo hybrid social commentary of the collapse of American ideals in the political wasteland of the fallout of 9/11". "Political" sorta works too, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stich Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 you should get every album and listen to every track on it !! it will be the best time you have ever had p.s - Listen to The album Kerplunk first That's what do when I start to listen to them; I'll discover in 2005 with American Idiot (and BIAB); then I'll download every album (inlcuding Shenanigas) and I'll start listen to them from the older to the newer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwig van Beethoven Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Why are you even asking? Listen to all of em. From 1039/Smooth to AI to Tre. I dare you. You are in for an epic journey that will leave you forever changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 You're misrepresenting it. no i'm not i used a term that billie himself has used to describe the album. the phrase 'political rock opera' has been used by the band, magazines, interviewers, etc. it IS politically inspired, even you said there was a political song on the album. yes, a lot of it is about the media too, but it can be both. now, if you could, shut up because this is nor the place or the time.

whatshername0303 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 You must listen to International Superhits... It gives a good idea of the older albums. It was the first Green Day album that I bought the same day I bought American Idiot. If you like Dos, you must listen to The Foxboro Hot Tubs!

NaughtyHellGod Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Castaway and Deadbeat holiday for the Warning album, they are two underated awesome songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green day is Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 now, if you could, shut up Wow that's mature. The fact is that it's not a political album. It's got the name American Idiot and Holiday is political, so the idea that the album is political caught on. It's about teenagers in suburbia.

beejeezee Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I am a recent fan, so to say. I have heard some of their latest work, but I don't feel like I truly know them as artists through their earlier stuff. if you have a song you would like to suggest (preferably old) you are welcome to post it here Everything, all of it. Green Day has a vast array of music and styles. Listen to it all, you'll find the stuff you like. Wow that's mature. The fact is that it's not a political album. It's got the name American Idiot and Holiday is political, so the idea that the album is political caught on. It's about teenagers in suburbia. Don't try to fight with her, some people are unreasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterThanAir Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 The real question is, what Green Day song should you not listen to? The only one you shouldn't listen to is Nightlife. 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours - Green Day Kerplunk - Who Wrote Holden Caulfield? Dookie - Coming Clean Insomniac - Babs Uvula Who? Nimrod - Reject Warning - Castaway International Superhits - Poprocks and Coke Shenanigans - Rotting American Idiot - Give me Novacaine Bullet in a Bible - Hitchin' a Ride 21st Century Breakdown - Last Night on Earth Awesome as Fuck - Going to Pasalaqua Uno - Fell for You Dos - Wow! That's Loud Tre - Brutal Love I hope that's helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
