T.C Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Anyone else find it surprising that Basket Case is GD's most played song by the GP and fans according to Spotify and Last.fm? I didn't realize how popular it was. Thought the top spot would be between GR and BOBD Quote

I didn't realize how popular it was. Thought the top spot would be between GR and BOBD They've been playing Basket Case at preety much every show since 93/94 Good Riddance came around in 97 and BOBD in 2004. Basket Case has had more years than the other two, that's why it has more plays. Newer hits can never top older hits, because the hits are always played. Quote

That's irrelevant given that Last.fm launched in 2002 and Spotify in 2006. Quote

T.C Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) They've been playing Basket Case at preety much every show since 93/94 Good Riddance came around in 97 and BOBD in 2004. Basket Case has had more years than the other two, that's why it has more plays. Newer hits can never top older hits, because the hits are always played. Not necessarily a definite reason. For example Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" was on her 4th album and its her most played hit because of how huge it was, thought the same logic would apply to GR or BOBD but i guess not. And i was talking about it being played by other people as a song to listen too (Which Spotify and Last.fm track) Edited July 25, 2014 by T.C Quote

It makes sense to me that it's the most played Quote

Sappy Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 so it's going to be a Reprise release sold by Adeline, or will this version have Adeline somewhere on the back of it? Quote

Christian's Inferno! Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 I'd say it probably is the best of their 90's work but I think I prefer Warning Quote
Insomniac85 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) An absolute classic. Definitely my favorite album. Its been in my life for 21 years and I never get sick of it. Edited August 28, 2015 by Insomniac85 1 Quote
Tre_Archer Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 It contains Green Day's greatest ever song (Basket Case) and a few others that are in consideration for top 5 (Longview, Welcome to Paradise, She). So yeah its a damn good album. Kerplunk was a great album, and Dookie builds off the narrative of that album wonderfully. Quote
Not a Salad Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I'm unable to enjoy Dookie as much as other people do. Kerplunk will always be my favorite GD album. Quote

It's not that it's a bad song but it's overplayed. Quote
Tre_Archer Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Basketcase is probably my least favorite song on Dookie. It's not that it's a bad song but it's overplayed. Well its overplayed because A) Its massive. If someone doesn't particularly enjoy Green Day, they must admit Basket Case is a masterpiece. B) Its probably the strongest song on Dookie, lyrically. C) The music video is badass. D) Above all, its just a damn good song. Quote
UNICORN VOMIT Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Well its overplayed because A) Its massive.

If someone doesn't particularly enjoy Green Day, they must admit Basket Case is a masterpiece. B) Its probably the strongest song on Dookie, lyrically. C) The music video is badass. D) Above all, its just a damn good song. Basket Case is actually one of my least favorite songs on Dookie. I don't agree it is a masterpiece. It is most definitely one of their most iconic songs, but I personally don't think it is their best. The lyrics on WICA and Longview are far superior. are you forgetting Longview - best gd video from Dookie.You can't get anything right, I had to fix it for you Quote
