No songs from the Sweet Children EP are included so the list is a failure. And ridiculous to include All By Myself when it's just a joke hidden track, and Restless Heart Syndrome when it's clearly an amazing song. Disagree with most of the rest but I can see why they chose them. The Saints Are Coming is their best pick haha. I'll never understand how a song being in a film that you can easily just not watch and pretend doesn't exist can make any difference to someone's enjoyment of it. Seeing the video once hasn't made me associate it with Twilight any more than seeing a random fan video on youtube where someone stuck Boulevard Of Broken Dreams over some Twilight clips would make me associate that song with it.

Plot twist: the unpopular opinions thread makes the world go round.

Nah man, pretty sure it's just opinions.

I'm pretty sure Hermione just trolled the fuck out of us all without anyone realising.

Kerrang finally posted something about Green Day that actually got our attention

Don't think I posted these before... FBHT at SXSW on March 14, 2014:

Rest is brilliant, trippy and relaxing

I feel bad for SD&V. I also cringed because of the chorus rhyming english math and science part, even though upon further reflection I can see how it makes poetic sense like "getting back to basics." The verses in the song I think are actually really strong, it's just impossible to get past that chorus

My jaw literally dropped at the inclusion of Restless Heart Syndrome. And I would definitely disagree with Misery too, great, unusual song.

That's it! Somebody nominate you for the Nobel Prize for physics.

Yes :wub: I didn't! Billie did. And he's good at it

I agree with putting The Forgotten in there. I think Twilight totally ruined that song for me.

That whole list is horrible. Some of those are my favorite songs! And it's stupid of them to include "The Forgotten" - they said it's "perfectly pleasant… with lovely sentiment behind it," but they included it JUST because it was on the Twilight soundtrack? Being used in a bad movie doesn't make a song bad. That doesn't make sense.

I think we can call not liking the Trilogy a popular opinion at this point.

I'll post this here, too. FBHT at SXSW on March 15, 2014:

Someone posted this on tumblr: OMG WHAT'S GOING ON?? :lol: THE F?

I haven't listened to that song since I first listened to 39/Smooth. Just put it on now and Jesus fuck that's awful. You're right, it sounds like someone took the actual recording and slowed it down in Audacity or some such shit.

Fabulous

Just taking a crack at it The narrator is an ignorant and/or narrow-minded individual, and is trying to process information coming from someone a bit wiser. No clue how that fits the context of the rest of the lyrics though.

I like Rest, but yeah, it's an acquired taste (takes some time to getting used to) - especially if you're used to the faster, heavier songs of later Green Day. To be fair though, just about 95% of their earlier (pre-Kerplunk) work is sappy/cheesy, y'know, stuff adolescent boys write. I mean, 1,000 Hours (and I like that song).

Sorry, I really don't get the hate for it. What is so bad about it?

Clear neon green 7" Waiting/Maria from Adeline. I just need to find a site that's still selling the clear neon pink now.

Back in 2009, Rolling Stone was selling stuff with cover artists on it; they sold a shirt with their 2004 cover (and maybe the 2009 one, I got that on a poster at Walmart). But it didn't last. Strange, I know

I actually kinda like the song until the chorus kicks in. Just can't do it. And the Forgotten music video without Twilight is actually quite beautiful. It's not on Youtube any more because someone took it down. Does anyone here have it saved?

First time billie as been the tallest

Is this why?

The only Green Day song i cant listen to is The Forgotten. i just can't stand it and idk why,

I really like The Forgotten, it's one of my favorite song from the trilogy, the strings are just awesome

The Forgotten was a shit song before they put it in Twilight, so it doesn't really make any difference.

Got to agree with Rest and Restless Heart Syndrome is very depressing, but I don't think I mean that in the same way they do I feel like they included Nightlife just because it's Nightlife rather than because it's actually bad. Not saying it's the greatest moment of their careers or anything, but yeah.

Lets face it kerrang are full of shit haha

Nuclear Family, Stay the Night, Kill the DJ and Let Yourself Go, for me. I can't stand Carpe Diem. Fell For You and Sweet 16 aren't necessarily bad, they're just boring. And I think my feelings on Oh Love are pretty clear! As explained by yours truly in the old thread, Lazy Bones is great because:

Just thought I'd point out Sarcastic Billie meme is the best thing ever.

Sort of random, but also very neat: Tonight I had the privilege to meet Marky Ramone, drummer of the Ramones, who spoke at my school tonight. After the show, I met him privately and he signed my belt and took pictures. During his presentation, though, he spoke a bit about Green Day. These are the random remarks he made: - All three of them are extremely nice guys, and he has hungout with them on many occasions - When the Ramones were inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame, they didn't want to perform due to the recent death of Joey Ramone. Green Day volunteered to play Ramones songs, and apparently they rehearsed a lot and took it very seriously. Marky says that what Green Day did for his band was special and something he will never forget. - When asked about new music he listens to, he mentioned Foreverly, saying that it brings him great joy when artists test themselves and try new things. - He also said that Dookie is an excellent album, and that overall Green Day are very talented musicians.

If there's a god he needs to stop it right now and have mercy on my poor little soul. *_*
