Can we stop pretending Shenanigans doesn't kick ass?

Honestly, having got the CD of Shenanigans many months back, I've come to realize it's becoming one of my favourites. Not only does jt have some songs that I think are some of Green Day's best (Desensitized, You Lied, Ha Ha You're Dead), it also has some songs that are stylistically different to what the band usually does and as such interesting to hear even if they aren't favourites (Don't Wanna Fall In Love, Tired Of Waiting For You, Rotting), so I literally just can't get tired of this album.

I get it's a compilation of stuff that didn't go on the other records but man. This specific compilation just seems to hit harder than other compilation albums I've heard. I think bands should do it way more often, where all the cut songs get put onto a compilation CD later. I'd love to hear that from Korn and Weezer. 

Honestly, a lot of people just exclude Shenanigans from their album rankings due to it being a comp, and nobody seems to talk about it much. I wish people would talk about it more. I feel kind of alone in my love for it. Do remember my other favourites are nimrod., Warning, Dookie, and American Idiot.

What do you think of it?

I love Shenanigans, actually wore out my cd somehow! I also love Let’s Get Drunk And Go Out Driving which you can hunt down but was taken off the album if I remember right.

How sad. It's a pretty insightful song.

American Idiot.  Nimrod. Warning.  Shenanigans.    The absolute necessities.
