Speaking of music I've heard great things about Apple music and especially with apple products. Spotify isn't as great as it used to be but I do love my wrap

Greatest Green Day song?

I only got into them following the Seinfeld finale in the late 90s, so for me Good Riddance is the hit I always associate them with. They were bloody prolific for a punk band though.

American Idiot

American Idiot

That album is their pinnacle IMO. The first punk-rock opera is how I once heard it described.

If they raged so much against Bush-era USA on American Idiot, imagine what they'd produce today if they were still at their creative peak.

I'm incredibly jealous of the Mrs. who is currently at PitBull at Langley

There are 2 grand daddy pop-punk-rock Operas.

As a whole and storey wise, I think MCRs Black Parade is the better album.
However American Idiot is the overall clearly better album.
American Idiot also had the bigger societal impact.

Dookie and Nimrod were instant classics, Warning was generic and forgetful.
American Idiot blew Green Day into the stratosphere and they were the biggest band on the planet that year.

None they’re overrated asf

Edit: My bad for being a downer but it has to be said

This is extraordinarily poor form

 

[uptheWC]

This is extraordinarily poor form

Just not a fan of the 90s/2000s grunge rock style at all

 

[RookiePick]

Green day = Grunge Rock. That's one heck of a take.

Whatever green day song has just finished…

 

[txbyhull]

I fully expect such a poor take from Goroyals22 but I had higher hopes for uptheWC

I was having a vaguely similar discussion with a coworker recently about incorrectly labelled music, mostly tied to 2000s “emo” songs. What genre would Green Day fall under?

 

[Forward Press]

Yeah, you can be not a fan of Green Day or punk rock at all, that's fair, but the impact of American Idiot (Holiday, Wake Me Up When September Ends, the title track etc etc) cannot be understated. It catapulted them into one of the top bands on the planet. The album was universally praised and it's cultural legacy (whether you agree with the politics or not) is almost unmatched.

It's practically the anthem of the left side of politics in America.

 

[DorothyG]

Their early stuff is pretty standard punk rock. More towards the pop punk end of the punk spectrum but not as far as say Blink. Dookie is a pretty iconic punk rock album from the time.

Warning they move away from classic punk rock to more generic pop rock and power pop. The album is fine, it's just a bit forgettable.

American Idiot they returned to the more punk rock inspired sound, but more into the alt rock, anthem rock style aswell.

I know nothing after 21st Century breakdown

I would never label Green Days sound as "Emo". They just happened to release one of the biggest ever punk albums at the time the Emo culture was at its presipce. And they lent heavy into the Emo culture stylistically at the time.

For quintessential emo bands think Sunny Day Real-estate, MCR, the Used and arguably one of the best Emo songs of the 00s Hawthorn Heights - Ohio is for Lovers

Yeah my phrasing was off, but the originally discussion stemmed from a playlist name I have joking about emo music, but it’s got a pretty wide range of stuff. More so a time period playlist than a sound

 

[Dazzler9]

Boulevard of Broken Dreams hasn't cracked a mention yet.

 

[Boohemian]

Best Green Day song is when I come around. Surprised nobody has when mentioned it.

Rancid are the better punk band from the East Bay scene though.

 

[DorothyG]

I personally think the penultimate "homecoming" is Green Days masterpiece

Wraps the whole album up perfectly

And Out Come the Wolves is top 5 for mine

 

[DorothyG]

Also for When I come Around, this is peak 90s. Epic

Sorry to disappoint

Literally the only genre of music that I actively dislike as well
