But I wasn't ranking albums, I was ranking popular releases

So you're saying that Sappy and 39/Smooth are more popular than say AAF because lol.

Also, seeing you rank the Trilogy above AI, Insomniac and Warning breaks my heart so much I think I saw shrapnel come out of my chest. :cry:

Yeah talking about wanking is better :P

And the difference in how much I like them is so slight that it's barely worth making the distinction so don't feel too bad.

Your point is well taken. :P But Tom started it. :P

Too late; there's pieces of my sternum embedded in my TV now.

I love how you say 'least best', instead of 'worst' :P

It just wouldn't be right to call any of those fabulous albums "worst" :P

I am not the biggest fan of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and I don't like how Green Day have appeared and participated in the ceremonies as often as they have in the last decade and recent years.

If everyone makes lists regardless of Toms angry face, I shall too. I have a clean record so an angry admin can't do too much.

Sadly I'm incapable of making permanent lists so I just say that 21st Breakdown is better than AI and Warning is their best.

And Dos sucks ass. The others are somewhere in between, it changes form day to day really.

I don't think I could make a list. I mean, there are albums I enjoy more frequently than others, but every album speaks to me in a different way and I enjoy them in different ways, there's not really one thing I could base a list off. The most accurate thing would probably be a graph with instead of a point for each album, each album gets a range it moves in. And that range differs per album (some are always on the top half, some change, some have a range more near the bottom). But that's be too much effort :P

If there's one thing I can appreciate its consistency. Seagul has that, if nothing else.

I would like to take a moment just to say that whoever things Dos is terrible has to be a dumb person. I know that's rude, but sadly, it's true. Lazy Bones, Stray Heart, Lady Cobra, Stop When The Red Lights Flash, and Amy are some of the best songs on the entire trilogy. I even like Fuck Time. I'm so happy we got a studio version of that song. I agree it would have been better as a FBHT song, but I still love it. Because of the aforementioned songs, Dos is easily the best album of the trilogy. All those songs have a much better rock n roll vibe and beat to them than anything else in the trilogy (with a couple exceptions), and I love that Green Day way more than the generic Green Day with songs like Oh Love.

Come on, this is an amazing song. I hope to see it live.

As someone who's seen it live I can tell you it's very meh. No one will know the words and there will be confusion for the first minute or so, and by then Billie's gone into a 5 minute rant about Angry Birds or something :P

As for those songs being good, well, it's your opinion and all, but it's a shite opinion. Lady Cobra would be a rubbish b-side for the FBHT, and Stray Heart is just Mother Mary with much worse lyrics. I'd have preferred that they simply rerecord Mother Mary rather than simply lazily rip it off. Amy is a 3 minute whine about not knowing a drug addict or something with poor enough lyrics and the most awkward bridge that BJA has ever written.

Lazy Bones would have been better without 20 layers of tambourine, but it's the closest that album has to a good song so that's something, I guess.

personally I classify Steven's so called consistency as an acute case of stubborness and ignorance.

Opinions. Deal with it.

I think dos is ok, it's pretty fun if you're purely looking for upbeat, party songs. But by comparison to Green Days other work, it's subpar.
