Nimrod

Dookie

American Idiot

Kerplunk

Insomniac

Warning

1,039

The definitive correct best to worst order :banana:

But all deserve 10/10

I disagree!

I can never decide my favourite Green Day album. It was Insomniac for years, but I've been swaying more towards 1,039 and Dookie recently.

List goes like this.

Insomniac

Dookie

Nimrod

Warning

American Idiot

1039

Kerplunk.

All the albums are perfection, therefore your list is acceptable :wink:

Hmm, you use the word 'perfection' far too loosely.

The only album to ever come even close to perfection is the Clash's self titled. :D

Haha, twice on the same page.

Only where Green Day is concerned, mind.

Warning, Kerplunk, and 1039 are ridiculously under rated in my opinion.

Christie Road, Give Me Novacaine, She, Misery, Green Day, Who Wrote Holden Caulfield, Westbound Sign, 409 in your coffeemaker,86!

Hell there's a lot of them and all from different albums!

But I think the most underarted albums are thier Pre-Dookie stuff, like... hell!, they deserve some recognition too!!!

I think that 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours is way underrated.

The only people who have heard that CD are the massive Green Day fans.

I also think that Warning is a bit underrated, too.

That was a great CD. It had the most sentimental meaning, to me.

Technically it's not an album but Shenanigans is incredibly underrated. Just because they're b-sides doesn't mean they're not awesome.

And as far as songs go, definitely Castaway. That would have made a really good single.

Castaway was such a great song

I agree, it would've been a good single.

misery.

should have been a single.

coming clean and scattered.

from the nimrod album, probably Prostethic Head and Walking Alone.

Somehow, 1039 and Kerplunk are last? Let alone at the top where they belong. Insomniac is their most simple and least interesting album by far! I say:

1039

Kerplunk

Dookie

Nimrod

Warning

Shenanigans

Insomniac

American Idiot.

To give you perspective, as an album, I love insomniac. I just love all the other ones way more. I "like" american idiot, but it's definitely not green day's best. 1039 and Kerplunk are the most interesting, musically talented ones, in my opinion. They both contain more guitar solos than any of the other albums and I dig billie's soloing a lot. Mike's harmonies complement all the songs very well, Billie's riffs were more experimental than just 3-4 chords. I could go on forever about those two albums.

They don't give enough credit to misery, it's such a sick werid kinda cool song. I'd also think coming clean needs some more ratings

I think it's underrated, too. It's a great album, stand alone. And Castaway should've been a single, most definitely. It's probably my favorite song off that album, or at least in the top 3.

To be honest, I think almost ALL of their albums (besides the big obvious two) are underrated. People haven't given GD enough credit over the years, they're a great band and Billie Joe is a phenomenal songwriter, hands down, one of the best of this generation. Just because it's punk (or so some think) doesn't mean the lyrics aren't brilliant.

I agree with Prosthetic Head . I LOVE that song <3

Warning(album) and Deadbeat Holiday

Posted

I agree, Prosthetic head.

I remember GD/Warner tried to make it a single, guess it didn't work.

It would've been a killer single.

It's a shame they don't play it live often. Hopefully on the new tour - doubt it.

Prosthetic Head, 86, Letterbomb, Going to Pasalaqua and Who wrote holden caulfield. I love all of those songs.

Posted
Walking Alone.
:wub:

And Worry Rock.

As FFaLeX mentioned, Coming Clean :wub:

1,000 Hours.

Dry Ice

At the Library

16

Too Much Too Soon

Shoplifter (One hundred and fifty fucking percent)
