Top 10 Green Day songs that you didn't hear in the radio

[ggoicocheap]

Hey guys and gals,

I need your help for a new post that I'm planning for my blog. The post will be titled "Top 10 Green Day songs that you didn't hear in the radio" and basically will be a list of the best green day songs that weren't released as singles and did not receive radio airtime. Please no live only and cover songs.

What songs would you include in this list? Would love to hear back from you.

Thanks,

Mo

Yesterday I would have said J.A.R., but I heard it today. Kind of weird to hear that being played I think.

But above all, Novacaine.

[ChelseaWhatsername]

Difficult to choose... but I'd have to say, in no specific order:

1. Homecoming
   
2. Whatsername
   
3. Sassafras Roots
   
4. Scattered
   
5. Hold On
   
6. Restless Heart Syndrome
   
7. Basically every song on Nimrod that doesn't get radio play
   
8. Misery
   
9. Are We The Waiting
   
10. Jesus Of Suburbia
    

I've heard people say JOS had been played before, but I never have. And really, it's a 9 minute song. Radio stations don't do 9 minute songs.

Although not released as a single, JAR was pretty popular in radio stations in the 90's (right after Dookie). Also, currently is still being played every once in a while in alternative radio stations. So that one can't be in the list. Novocaine is a good one though!

That's a great list. Thanks! However, I have heard Jesus of Suburbia in the radio. They play a shortened version of it.

No prob. I know I have a great taste in music. 8) lol.

Ah, that makes sense to shorten it. I guess the stations out here in AZ just suck. I've never heard them play JOS and I've been listening for quite a few years. I have heard them play Misery though... once. I was going to put it on the list but I just remembered that.

[melissawebster]

I'm with Chelsea on the everything from Nimrod that isn't "Good Riddance." Also, "Blood, Sex & Booze."

Huh? I thought it was released for the first time on International Superhits. How was it being played in 94-95 without even a single?

JAR was released the first time in 1995 for the Angus soundtrack. It reached #1 in the Modern Rock list. It was later included in International Superhits.

JAR was released as a single in 1995. And not a promo either, an actual single.

Prosthetic Head, definitely.

Awesome list. I had completely forgotten about Chump.

So, I see that many people are listing Blood, Sex and Booze (out of Warning). It was also my understanding that this song was never released as a single. However, some googling led me to a website that says that it was released as a promo single in Germany. This is the website: http://www.greendaydiscography.com/bloodsexandbooze.html

Can anyone confirm that this single is real? From the snapshots, it looks like it is. too bad because this song would rank high in the list if it wasn't a single.

[Hermione]

Ehh, I don't think Blood Sex And Booze was ever a single. When Warning first came out they played it live on TV a few times so maybe they were planning for it to be a future single and that's why that promo CD got made. It was only for Germany though, and it was never released as an actual single there or anywhere else.

I say don't disqualify it

[BuckBuckBuckles]

1) Whatsername

2) Burnout

3) Stuart and the Ave.

4) Uptight

5) Castaway (blows my mind how it wasn't a single. Such a great song)

6) The Static Age

7) Murder City

8) St. Jimmy

9) King for a Day

10) Last Night on Earth

You're right. Also, this post was mainly directed to the American market so if it was only released in Germany then the song should still be considered for the list.

1- Letterbomb

2- Welcome To Paradise

3- Who Wrote Holden Caulfield

4- East Jesus Nowhere

5- St Jimmy

6- Christie Road

7- Murder City

8- Bab's Uvula Who?

9- Homecoming

10- Pulling Teeth

Great list! However, welcome to paradise was a single and it's played all the time in the radio. What's your replacement for that one?

[Kayfabe]

unh. Blood Sex and Booze, if it's a contendor. If it's not then At The Library

[Disapperingirl]

I'd say...

1. Coming Clean

2. Paper Lanterns

3. Scattered

4. King For A Day

5. Castaway

6. Stuart and the Ave

7. Are We The Waiting/ St. Jimmy

8. American Eulogy

9. Christie Road
