GugsGreenDay Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Castaway? Interesting choice, why? Misery is brilliant. I love Misery!! But i love Castaway too... But Misery is better!Impossible to make a top 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Angel Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Top three for me behind JoS and Castaway. Yeah, that is an unusual top 3. Mine would definitely be JoS, Homecoming and Basket Case, though Castaway is definitely in the top 10. It's just so damn catchy. It's a bloody crime against humanity that it wasn't a single. That's true, it is one of the most generally fun songs I've ever heard. I would so love to be in a moshpit for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin for a Day Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Never thought about a top 3. I'm going with a top 4: JoS, Scattered, WICA and Whatsername Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienlifeform Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I don't like to rank which songs i like better, but JOS is not on my top 50 Green Day songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin for a Day Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I don't like to rank which songs i like better, but JOS is not on my top 50 Green Day songs Whoa, not sure what to say about that. That has floored me more than Cigarettes and Valentines was not a real song. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alienlifeform Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 yeah, but don't undestand me wrong, I think it is a good song, but I don't see nothing special on it my favourites from AI are Homecoming and Letterbomb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, it the lyrics are powerful and engaging, the melodies set the tone for the entire album. Plus, I could listen to Dearly Beloved on constant rotation. But Homecoming is better live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z J Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Top three for me behind JoS and Castaway. oh my god we have the same top 2 Good Riddance is my third, I'd say. This has actually inspired me to re-order/update my GD favorites playlist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienlifeform Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Yes, but sayng it is not in your Top 50 has you ranking it where I would rank Platypus. that's the point, I like Green Day's whole catalogue but the old school records are my favorites. as I said above i really don't like to rank songs because I'm a die hard fan for almost 20 years, the band is part of my life.. it's hard to say one song is better than another when you have so much personal attachment with all of them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 i feel like JOS shouldnt even count towards a top 3 because it's a given that it's miles above everything else I'd actually split it up and make City Of The Damned number 1 and the other parts are further down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaïs. Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'd actually split it up and make City Of The Damned number 1 and the other parts are further down. I'm sorry, Dearly Beloved is clearly the best thing they've ever done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Spike Posted February 24, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'm sorry, Dearly Beloved is clearly the best thing they've ever done. I'm sorry but it contains the word 'retarded' and that is seriously one of the worst words you can say. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z J Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'm sorry but it contains the word 'retarded' and that is seriously one of the worst words you can say. it's pretty common in the vernacular over here, not as often seen as a slur Also all of this talk about splitting up JOS is truly blasphemous, because JOS is ONE piece of incredible music that needs all 5 parts to be what it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quoting NimJim I mean yeah I agree, I wouldn't want to split it up, but I'd never be willing to put I Don't Care above Restless Heart Syndrome for any reason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retarded simply means something is delayed. It also contains such lyrical gems as: Are we demented Or am I disturbed?

For me the most special in JOS is its incredibly exciting letter, his heavy rifs, its calm parts ...

DookieLukie Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I was quoting NimJim The irony was that I was doing that to be a dick. But now I'm actually a part of the Spread the Word to End the Word campaign, which is fighting to remove the word from common use. Funny how things come back to bite you. Retarded simply means something is delayed. It also contains such lyrical gems as: Are we demented Or am I disturbed? The space that's in between Insane and insecure Eh, in that situations, Billie is asking if he's retarded or insecure, meaning is he dumb or is he just insecure? Delayed doesn't work there.

Popular Post Ritz Posted February 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2015 Macy's Day Parade is really under appreciated. I love that song! And coming to top 3 or even top 4, its a hard choice to make. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delayed doesn't work there. Hmm, what do you think dumb is? It could mean intellectually delayed or the inability to speak. Retarded also means delayed in some fashion. In this context, Billie is using it to mean intellectually delayed. Same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
