I dunno if songs from the nineties could exactly be classified as "golden oldies" but who cares?! This is awesome. Another distinction for them

''Though never released as a single...''

What are they talking about? As far as I know, and I know pretty well, Good Riddance was released as a single..

but still, nice to hear good stuff 'bout them

[Hermione]

[MikexBillie]

I think it's great that they made the top 10. Not sure about the "oldies" title though, lol. If that's true, then I must be ancien in my age... haha. They did screw up with calling GR never released, because it was released and also had a music video.

[Sanah]

Wtf at the not being a single part.

But yes, they definitely deserve it.

[ifmemoryserves]

When I read the "never been released as a single" but I was like... wtf? I was confused there for a second.

But yeah, lmao at "golden oldies" I don't think anything from even the 80s is considered an "oldie".

[Hermione]

Also, why would they call it golden oldies, and then include the 90s but not the 60s?

Anyhoo, still excellent to see the boys recognised, as always.

[farley drexel hatcher]

They probably just mean songs that weren't available digitally first time round

I remember when it got into the download charts, around the time AI came out XD.

[communitykid]

You people are fucking stupid.

GREEN DAY IS DEFINITELY CONSIDERED OLDIES!!

Just like Linkin Park is.

^sarcasm^

What I'm saying is that if the 90s are considered part of the oldies genre, than LP would have to be too, and that's just funny with the kind of music they put out.

[Hermione]

^ Linkin Park's first album came out in the 00s

[communitykid]

Nope. The Hybrid Theory EP was out in '99...

So there.

[Hermione]

Damn you!

[farley drexel hatcher]

If EPs counted that would make Green Day an '80s band ... XD

[communitykid]

They are.

Actually, I base mostly everything off of band formation, not album, nor EP, release.

[Towers]

Oldies Songs from the nienties are not old! Still good for GD

[Laura33]

Fucking hell, it has been 11 years since that was released? Jesus.

[CarnageXB]

lol Golden oldies. Sounds like something from the 40's. The only green day song they played at my prom was "Holiday"

[Boston]

Oldies? That song was released 11 years ago.

When I read the "never been released as a single" but I was like... wtf? I was confused there for a second.

But yeah, lmao at "golden oldies" I don't think anything from even the 80s is considered an "oldie".

The oldies to me are 50's and back.
