Swap Walking Contradiction with that Foxboro Hot tubs Bollocks and i'd agree 100% with that list.

[Kaddi.]

I don't think American Idiot is overrated

[fashionvictim86]

I don't think Walking Contradiction is overrated. But Why Do You Want Him? is definitly underrated.

[b u r n o u t]

Yeah wow Walking Contradiction is far from overrated. Hell Insomniac as a whole is underrated imo.

[blc]

Hmm. Don't really agree with the overrated. Then, i guess being a fan I would say that

[Nele]

I don't think Walking Contradiction is overrated, neither do I think JOS is very underrated.

But I agree with one song: Good Riddance. Wayyyyy to overrated.

[Rita]

No way that Walking Contradiction is overrated. The Foxboro song sure is though.

[Ally]

i agree with the underrated ones but the over rated, the only one i agree with is american idiot

[mechanicalman]

Welcome to Paradise isn't overrated, but the rest of that list is good.

[Katarina.]

Since when's Walking Contradiction overrated? Don't agree with that one

[spark in the night]

Longview and Brain Stew are more overrated than No One Knows

hello...

and where's Haushinka on that underrated list!?

[Hermione]

Well obviously I don't think any of them are overrated, but Walking Contradiction???? Don't make me laugh!

Totally agree with Stop Drop And Roll being underrated . I'd say Jesus Of Suburbia is already given the large amount of praise and respect it's due, not sure why that's on there.

[Mrs.Kerplunk]

I completely disagree -.-

except one - AI is too overrated

[Miqui_Dee]

eehhh. The overrated list was wrong except for Good Riddance and maybe possibly American Idiot, but I'm not too sure how I feel about that just yet. The underrated list was spot on except for Jesus of Suburbia (I think a lot of people did appreciate it, so that wouldn't make it underrated) and Foxboro, but that's just because personally I don't care for Foxboro Hot Tubs. I agree with Haushinka and Insomniac being entirely underrated, as well as many many other songs. Green Day's more underrated than overrated in my opinion.

[The Disappearing Boy]

as far as i can tell american idiot was only overrated because american changed president. which is kinda redundant anyway, as that song wasn't really about georgie anyway.

but i like how the new definition of 'overrated' is a song which becomes popular, hence AI, WTP and good riddance.

Yeah, right? That's bullshit.

[RebelofSuburbia]

This started of as a list I could fairly agree on. But Walking Contradiction, Kerplunk! and Welcome to Paradise overrated? If there's any Green Day song that's underrated it's Welcome to Paradise, if you ask me.

Don't entirely agree on Warning being underrated. The album, yes very, but I don't really care about the song. Don't think it's overrated, don't think it's underrated. I think it's fine the way it's rated now.

edit: that interview was quite cute though

[Chad is Rad]

I didn't really agree with any of them, except for the fact that Warning and Why Do You Want Him are both terribly underrated. I still can't understand why big Green Day fans don't like Warning. I think it's one of their best albums, extremely underrated.

[RebelofSuburbia]

^ it was the song they were talking about.

[Chad is Rad]

^ it was the song they were talking about.

I know. The song and the album are both underrated.

[Katherine]

They should've put Blvd instead of Walking Contradiction - and how the hell is Kerplunk! overrated? But besides that, I'm pretty much in agreement with this.

Walking Contradiction and Kerplunk are both underrated, as well. To me, at least.

[forget_me_nots]

F.O.D. is fucking *it*. That song is a beast and defintely under rated. But the overrated list is 100% bullshit. Call a song overrated b/c it's played a lot and everyone knows it? WTF is that?? And why the fuck is Kerplunk on there? This list is sad. It really is.

[fashionvictim86]

I agree with Welcome to Paradise being overrated, I like the song, but I can say it's one of my least favorites.
