Green Day is one of my favourite bands of all time. So I decided to take it upon myself to create a greatest hits compilation of 20 songs maximum from their entire catalog. Stretching from their first album, 1,039 Smoothed Out/Slappy Hours, all the way to their latest album, Revolution Radio. Here's what I came up with:
- Going to Pasalacqua
- Dry Ice
- Christie Road
- When I Come Around
- Hitchin' A Ride
- Still Breathing
- Jesus Of Suburbia
- Whatsername
- Brainstew
- Geek Stink Breath
- When It's Time
- J.A.R.
- Macy's Day Parade
- Ha Ha You're Dead
- Desensitized
- Restless Heart Syndrome
- Before The Lobotomy
- Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?
- X-Kid
- Kill The DJ
If you noticed on my list I have not included some really popular songs by the band such as American Idiot, Time Of Your Life, Basketcase, Longview, etc. You need to remember this is my list of personal favourites by the band. Anyways, what would your top 20 songs look like? Similar? Different? Are you still a fan of the band? I discovered these guys back when Dookie came out and I am sure a lot of others as well or during the American Idiot era. They are one of the few bands from the 90's that are still somewhat relevant in the music scene. So comment and share your picks for the top 20 songs by Green Day.
