I haven't entered this thread for ages and I'm still on about the same things but I want to remind the world that I exist and so venture to point out that Warning is their best album ever no doubt. :P

Warning is an outstanding album - it's just too soon for any unpopular opinions.

I think Jinx/Haushinka officially are my favorite transition songs. Both are solid songs, and the transition is just so punchy. Flawless, really. They're two gems on Nimrod amongst the experimental chaos.

I even like them more than Give Me Novacaine/She's a Rebel or Holiday/BOBD now, which are both off my favorite album.

ALBUM OPINIONS

Warning and Insomniac are easily the best. No question.

21CB, Dos and Tre are their three worst albums by far, although there are a few good songs on each.

The rest are all very good, although not perfect.

I have no idea as to the popularity of these opinions, but it's how I feel.

They're unpopular with me :P. As for me Warning and Insomniac are 3rd and 4th worst (after 39/Smooth and Kerplunk), and 21st CB and Uno Dos and Tre as a whole are among the best.

I just... do not understand that at all, but live and let live.

Insomniac 21CB, the Trilogy and occasionally parts of Nimrod are the only Green Day albums I listen to anymore.

Well I like them all loads so it doesn't mean much really :lol:. Only slight differences in how highly I rate each one.

Nah, I disagree - you're right in that Dos is their worst, but definitely not 21CB, that's near the top of the list for me. Dookie and AI are at the top, with Nimrod, Insomniac, 21CB almost all of them fighting for the spot below, with the Trilogy below them (Uno, Tre, Dos, in descending order).

Well, I meant, I don't understand how you can rate the songwriting from those albums so highly.

I can see AI being at the top. Dookie is half amazing, half just okay for me.

I think the first half of Dookie is better, but that's just comparing completely excellent with almost completely excellent, I still love everything on it.

Maybe I need to give it another proper listen.

How long has it been? I listen to it at least once a week.

All the way through, actually paying attention? A long time. Lately, I've been brushing up on the albums I never got super familiar with (39/Smooth, Kerplunk, Insomniac, Nimrod).

I try to make it through their entire discography over weekends (barring this last one, listening to new music took precedence), not necessarily while doing nothing else but having it on and loud enough for me not to tune out.

I go through musical phases where I only listen to one artist, and then inbetween phases is usually when I shuffle my entire library. This is the fourth or fifth Green Day phase I've had, but I know it'll wear out at some point. Until it does, I'm pretty much listening to them all the time.

Anyone who doesn't have AI in at least their top three albums is just crazy. AI is objectively the best album the band has ever put out and the closest thing they have to a perfect album, the end.

Most of the time I have things on shuffle (Green Day and their side bands, everything from Peter Doherty and Carl Barat), but on weekends I try to go through Green Day's discography in full unless there's something else I need to listen to.

Lots of free time, huh?

I'd say Dookie and Stop Drop and Roll are perfect albums.

On weekends, yeah. Well, and most other days. Yes.

Why does everyone like 21CB so much? The concept aspects of it are incredibly forced, it's about 5 songs too long, and it's overproduced, just in a different way than the trilogy was.
