I don't think I have ever listened to it just once.  I remember the first time I listened to the leeeeeeeek I immediately played it again & then after witnessing it live in all its glory just reinforced by love for it.

Although I felt the same way with Brutal Love.

Brutal Love is so good live. I agree so hard.

Somebody shot the baby sitter! 

So I got the urge to.....pick up my guitar tonight.  I played some metallica, social distortion and then Green Day.  "Ashley" is really easy and fun to play and it got me wanting to hear some Trilogy tunes.  Now I've the spotify fired up and I'm having a blast listening to Dos! and all its weirdness!

Dos is the only album I have a hard time with and it makes me super sad that I don't enjoy it as much as other people. It's a fun album and I do like some of the songs, but other songs I have a hard time with. It's almost too poppy/weird for me. I really like "Nightlife" but I hate Lady Cobra's vocals in it. I really don't dig it. I think over time I'll warm up to this album more and more, but as of right now, it depresses me that I don't love it as much as everyone else.

How do you feel about "Back in the USA", because that's where I'm at now, haha.  I've been digging deep into other musics lately but it's always nice to come back and soak in the awesomeness that is Green Day.

I like BITU! It's really good. I like mixing up my music as well, makes Green Day super exciting when it shuffles on my phone!!

I usually place it as their 8th best album, surpassing 21st Breakdown, Insomniac, 1039 and Kerplunk.

Don't worry, I don't think you'll ever be alone feeling that way!  More people like Dos than they used to (especially on GDC) but it's still their most unpopular album. I usually feel very alone loving it.

I'm definitely warming up to it but it's not my favorite of theirs by a country mile!

There is nothing like listening to 21st Century Breakdown that can catapult me back into my 14-15 year old self. Suddenly I remember smells I really liked, I'm wearing my brown winter boots, I'm interning at the pet store, I'm meeting up with my friend to write stupid spoof songs on her keyboard, having dumb stupid fun together... that's why this is my favorite album, it makes me so nostalgic and I see it all so vividly before me, I can feel how I felt back then.

I'm 23 actually, lol. Not much older than you. I was born in 1995, and I was 14 when 21st CB was released

21CB is my favourite album for this reason also. It was the first album that was released while I was a fan, and I was 16 and I was halfway through my GCSEs. I remember walking from my school after an exam to the music store to buy a copy...and actually ended up with the lyric book version  I remember that summer being one of the best ever. And then of course my first ever Green Day concert was that October, and I remember everything about that too.

When I first became a fan I went back and listened to all the albums in order. Some I liked right away others took time to get to know. When I got to 21CB it was a jaw dropping experience for me on first listen. It was the only album I made my husband sit down and listen to as well in its entirety, I had this overwhelming need to share it with someone it was that good.

I agree. When I first started the album run through I instantly fell in love with 21CB. It's flawless.

I love the love for 21cb 😎

[jengd]

I too love 21 CB, I think it’s the last time I dashed out of work and ran up the street to buy the cd! Got into a big row with Warner Bros about their delivery of UNO on release day, really not the same 😂

[The Grohl]

The release of 21CB was a huge deal for me. I still remember all the tv spots they did and getting so excited to see them as if I was there in person. I skipped class to get my copy. I still remember listening to it and having this feeling of pride. I was so proud of the guys for making a stellar follow up to AI. I still think it's a great album. I'm just sad I never got to see them live during this time.

I have such a weird relationship with 21st CBD. I lost interest in Green Day a little when American Idiot came out, I was really jaded back then and not into the whole rock opera thing (i've come around on it). 21st actually got me back into GD though, there was a lot of stuff on the album I liked, and some stuff I didn't, like Know Your Enemy... I really wish they'd drop that from their set, it's so boring and repetitive. Anyways, now that almost 10 years have passed (holy crap!), I think that it's my least favorite album. I'm not saying it's a bad album, I just feel like they were trying to push themselves too hard to make a sequel to American Idiot. AI seemed naturally epic and fun, but with 21 it almost like seems like they were forcing it a bit.
