If you could have chosen them, what singles would you have chosen for each album?

[DannyDirnt]

Well, what the title says. I'd like to know what singles you would have chosen for the albums.

[ThibautDookie]

For Dookie, i would have chosen Sassafras Roots, Chump and Burnout as singles.

For Insomniac, i would have chosen Westbound Sign, Stuart and the Avenue and Brat as singles.

For Nimrod, i would have chosen Reject, Uptight and Worry Rock as singles.

For Warning, i would have chosen Deadbeat Holiday, Jackass and Fashion Victim as singles.

[Jorik Van de Ven]

Uno

Rusty James

Angel Blue

Stay the Night

Dos

Wow! That's Loud

Fuck Time

Lazy Bones

Tré

I've only heard 99 revolutions so far (& i like to keep it that way!)

Nimrod: The grouch^^ , Redundant( i think it was a single) and maybe Uptight

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

Last Ride In

[Pieces of Truth]

Dookie (I have to admit I'm not the biggest fan of it... I don't know why. I agree with every single choice and love them, though) so... Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case ,When I Come Around, F.O.D.

I mostly agree with their single choices, though there are some extra songs that I think should really have been singles. And a few (KYE....) that should never have been released.

[Dori_Epiphone]

American Idiot: American Idiot, Holiday, Boulevard of broken dreams, Give me Novacaine, Wake me up when September ends, Whatsername

21st Cenutury Breakdown: 21st Century Breakdown, iVIVA LA GLORIA!, Last night on earth, 21 Guns

[Malleus]

1039 - Paper Lanterns, Going to Pasalacqua, The Judge's Daughter,

Kerplunk - 2000 Light Years Away, One For the Razorbacks, One of My Lies

Dookie - Basket Case, Longview, When I Come Around (they got it pretty right with this album)

Insomniac - Brain Stew, Walking Contradiction, Stuart and the Ave.

Nimrod - Hitchin' A Ride, Prosthetic Head, Scattered

Warning - Church on Sunday, Waiting, Minority, Warning

AI - American Idiot, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Holiday, Give Me Novacaine

21st - 21st Century Breakdown, 21 Guns, Last of the American Girls, The Static Age

Uno - Stay the Night, Let Yourself Go, Kill the DJ

Dos - Fuck Time, Makeout Party, Nightlife

Tre - Stray Heart, 99 Revolutions, X-Kid

For the most part, I agree with the single choices GD makes. The only songs that should have really been singles that weren't imo were Church on Sunday and The Static Age. Both of the songs (if singles) could have helped the albums they're on a lot in the public eye if the promotion was right.

[Yojimbo]

1039 Smooth: Going to Pasalacqua, The Judge's Daughter and Paper Lanterns.

Kerplunk: 2000 Lightyears Away, One for the Razorbacks, Android and No One Knows.

Dookie: Apart from the released singles, I would have liked Burnout.

Insomniac: 86, Armatage Shanks.

Nimrod: Prosthetic Head, Grouch, King for a Day.

Warning: Misery, Church on Sunday.

American Idiot: Letterbomb, Homecoming (would have loved to see a music video of it).

21st Century Breakdown: Peacemaker, American Eulogy, Murder City, Static Age.

¡Uno!: Angel Blue (my favorite), Loss of Control, Nuclear Family.

¡Dos!: Fuck Time, Lazy Bones, Amy.

¡Tre!: Stray Heart, 99 Revolutions.

By the way, and this might not be the best place to bring this up, what is the big deal with Rusty James? Musically, I can't think of anything special about the song but it still has the damn best lyrics of the album.

[Brother]

UNO:

Nuclear Family

Stay the Night

Oh Love

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

I don't think I would change anything for most of the albums, except I'd replace Oh Love with Stay the Night for Uno. I'm glad they chose the singles they did.

Personally, I would love to have seen some of my favorite songs as singles. But, they chose the most radio friendly songs, which I think is a very smart move. If they chose stuff like Having a Blast or Peacemaker, how well would they REALLY do?

[ChelseaDagger]

I'm just gonna do this for ¡UNO¡

1) Nuclear Family

2) Carpe Diem

3) Oh Love (I do agree with this one, just not as the first single)

[Cre Tool.]

Insomniac: Armatage Shanks should have been a single.

Nimrod: Scattered should have been a single.

Warning: Misery should have been a single.

21st CB: Peacemaker and Static Age should have been singles.

UNO: Carpe Diem should have been a single.

Heard very less songs from DOS and TRE.

[sampy]

[deadair]

A lot of their single choices were picked well, but two that come to mind that I think should have been singles are Give Me Novacaine and The Static Age.

[Comic Sans]

4 singles from every album:

Uno!: Stay the Night, Nuclear Family, Rusty James (before the release of the album), Let Yourself Go (after the release)

Dos!: Fuck Time, Lazy Bones, Makeout Party (before) Amy (after)

Trè!: 99 Revolutions, Stray Heart, 8th Avenue Serenade (before), Dirty Rotten Bastards (after)

[The Forgotten]

This is a great thread idea!

Dookie: Replace When I come around with She

Insomniac: they did all the singles right

Nimrod: instead of Redundant, they should've done Scattered, and instead of Nice Guys Finish last they should've done The Grouch or Take Back

Warning: They did them right

American Idiot: Every song on that album should've been a single

21cb: ........ East Jesus Nowhere, 21 Guns, ?Viva La Gloria? , Last Night on Earth, Murder City

UNO: Nuclear Family, Kill the DJ, Let Yourself Go, Fell For You, Stay the Night
