Ive been thinking this could be a thread on its own - but no song connections are coming to me

It could, but I know it would just turn into people with more musical background being like "well this uses a b chord and that song doesn't so this doesn't make sense." 😆 Sometime it was just something as simple as the tempo of the old song that made me feel like it could introduce the newer one in an easy to relate to fashion.

I will say now that the hardest one for me to pair up was "Say Goodbye" because I didn't feel like they had an older song that was comparable. It was one of the things that struck me the first time I heard it, like "wow this sounds fresh and new for them." I will post my track list after I get the kid in bed -- now I can't remember what I settled on to introduce "Say  Goodbye" and I'm curious 😂

Say Goodbye was a stand out the first time I heard it.

Same here. I loved it after the first listen. It was stuck in my head for days and I would find myself randomly singing it outloud at random times.

Well, here's my tracklists for the CDs I made for someone who has never heard AI, 21cBD, the Trilogy or RevRad but is very familiar with the older material. This is how I saw a progression to where they are today and how they have evolved in similar yet at the same time completely different sounds.

Disc 1:

Scattered / Hearts Collide

Christie Road / Outlaws

Why Do You Want Him? / Fell For You

Castaway / East Jesus Nowhere

Haushinka / Extraordinary Girl

You Lied / Bouncing Off the Wall

All the Time / Horseshoes and Handgrenades

Pulling Teeth / Give Me Novocaine

 Private Ale / Amanda

No Pride / Last of the American Girls

Rotting / Wild One

One of my Lies / Murder City

 

Disc 2:

2000 Light Years Away / Youngblood

No One Knows / Before the Lobotomy

Reject / She's a Rebel

Waiting / Last Night on Earth

Fashion Victim / Too Dumb to Die

Deadbeat Holiday / The Static Age

Jackass / Stray Heart 

Walking Alone / Whatsername

At the Library / Stay the Night

Misery / Say Goodbye

Hitchin a Ride / Brutal Love

 

Feel free to post ones you feel connect the dots!!!

What would be a connection for Hold On?

Haha ok! I would love to hear other connections people would make if they attempted this project. It was fun and I recommend it! I just don't always have an answer for why some of these clicked for me, so I hope I don't get grilled 😆

It ended up being a double cd

like what Green day did..Trilogy..

Awesome!  I need to do this to make mixed tapes.  My ancient car only has a cassette player and when I drive to/from school it's 1.75 hrs each way.  I just need to find someone with, or buy, a cassette/cd player.

It was a challenge, but a fun one

Funny story: so I made some mix CDs for my cousin, who was once a huge Green Day fan but stopped listening to them after Warning was released. I wanted to introduce her to some of the newer material in a way that wouldn't be completely jarring to her, so I chose which new songs I wanted to include and then picked an old song I thought was a good lead-in to play back-to-back. Usually it was something musically or structurally that made sense for me to put the old song and new song together, although at least one was thematic ("Christie Road" into "Outlaws" for example). I didn't think too much about my choices and I have no musical background whatsoever, so it was a fun little project to work on, completely subjective, and was kind of like putting a puzzle together.

I swear I didn't do this on purpose, but when I looked back on my finished playlist I had picked "Pulling Teeth" to be followed up by "Give Me Nocovaine" and I couldn't stop cracking up 😆😆

Ha!  I was at the dentist today and had both Give Me Novocaine and the video for Geek Stink Breath stuck in my head.

Disc 2:

Misery / Say Goodbye

 

I always felt that Viva la Gloria (Little Girl) and, to a lesser degree, Peacemaker, were the offspring of Misery.

I am sure I would have had different answers had I chose the old song first, but when I made the CDs I chose the new ones that I liked the most that I would want someone who was unfamiliar to hear. So I kinda had to work in reverse order. But it's cool to hear these other viewpoints, and I totally agree with Viva la Gloria!!

Thematically? Still Breathing. I can't think of anything musically better fitting right now.

Yeah I like it too.

Well it's cool cause you jus gotta drag the mouse over the profile pic and it will pop up who posted what. You just have to care about the comment enough to see who posted it now. This could be hella-cool!

Okay i want to see if anyone can help with this. In pop choir in school we're trying to pick a song to add to a setlist that we could learn informally. A pop song song or something of the like, and something that we could add instruments to. (Guitar, drum, bass, uke, whatever). Anyway i really want to find a green day song that i could convince them that we could do. I thought of Holiday and 21 Guns since they're both from the broadway show, but the broadway versions have too much solo stuff going on with them and we're trying to stay away from that with this one. Also, 21 guns is arranged more of a traditional choir/ pentatonix kind of way, which we're also trying to stay away from with this one. 

So far the suggested songs have been:

House of the Rising Sun _The Animals

Night Changes_One Direction 

Viva da Vida_Coldplay

Sound Of Silence_Disturbed Version

Titanium_By i don't know who

If anyone could think of a song that would be cool for a small high school choir of 13 to do that'd awesome! I need to have an idea by Thursday morning.

Aw man. I'm thinking just because the Broadway show does those songs a certain way, doesn't mean you have to. I'm imagining the harmonies you could do for Holiday and it would be amazing. I say go for that. For sure. Just have the whole choir sing it and have the lower voices do the harmonies. It would be freaking fantastic.

Thanks for the motivation actually. I think Holiday'd be awesome, i just can't find a good example of someone doing it. Oh well, maybe we'll be the first.  here's hoping

You got it! I have faith that as a choir you can figure out those harmonies. Be a trailblazer, it would be awesome!

One of my local radio stations posted the Stephen Colbert version of good riddance and in the comments on Facebook some one thought one of the guys looks like Ryan stiles. I'm assuming it was Mike.  Random. 

Ryan stiles is best known for

Whoose line it's it anyways.

Today is the day I consider my Green Day anniversary. There were months leading up to it where I was getting more and more interested in Green Day, but April 5, 2005 was the official day that they wore me down and I decided they were my favorite band.  I resisted for such a long time—I was all emo at the time and thought their music was too punchy and upbeat for me. I'm glad they finally broke me, lol. Happy Anniversary, Green Day. The past 12 years with you have given me so, so much happiness (most of the time ), and you've only gotten better with age.  I'm so proud that they're my favorite band. Wouldn't have it any other way.
