Underbelly Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Favorite song per album- I might be able to pick. Maybe. But favorite Green Day song. Whew. Impossible.
Elena Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 WHO WOTE HOLDEN CAULFIELD FTW !!!! jk uhm...we can't vote for Look For Love, can we?
Malleus Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 This is pretty interesting! I'm looking forward to trying to pick my favorites all weekend.
Heather. Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I honestly wonder if it's a fair way to choose the 2nd best song by first narrowing it down by album. I mean, that's obviously the only logical way to narrow things down, but let's face it, some albums have songs that we love more than others, and if Kerplunk or American Idiot or whatever have more of the best songs, why should the 2nd best song on one of those albums, which may be better than the #1 song on another album, miss out? Not that I care that much, I'm just thinking how I can easily choose my favorite Insomniac song but I have many that I like more on other albums...
Mary711 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I'm really looking forward to it. Seems to be a lot of fun.
beejeezee Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 If Going To Pasalacqua doesn't win I'm leaving. I concur.

Not that I care that much, I'm just thinking how I can easily choose my favorite Insomniac song but I have many that I like more on other albums... Exactly my thoughts. Technically it'd work if we only want to know what the (second) best green day song is, but with this system it wouldn't be fair to publish the top 3 as the three best Green Day songs, for example. I suppose the only way to *really* get a good top 10 of the best Green Day songs, is not to let songs or albums compete against each other in 1vs1, but by letting people choose their five best songs from the entire catalogue and assigning points (e.g. 10 points for first place, 7 for second, etc) and then adding it all together. ... But then again, this is probably just for fun anyway so my arguments are invalid
Satan Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 This is so exiting! If Going To Pasalacqua doesn't win I'm leaving. I'm voting paper lanterns
LittleBoyNamedTrain Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 This is really exciting! Can't wait for it to start

But then again, this is probably just for fun anyway so my arguments are invalid Yeah we pretty much did it the way you described last time but we've decided to try it a different way this time, don't wanna just get the same results again haha. I like the idea of doing it this way to see which song wins from each album too, should be interesting! Longview all the way
Annie, get your gun Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 I wandered if you would make another contest like this sometime again I can't wait!
Burnout98 Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Awesome, I don't think I was around for the first one so I'll definitely participate in this! 409 In Your Coffeemaker better win...
Isabel Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 I Was There is my ultimate favourite Green Day song, but I really want 21st Century Breakdown to win because that's my second choice and it's so good that sometimes I have trouble listening to it.
alaniluau Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Has it really been so long since the last contest? It'll be exciting to see if GDC's general tastes have changed in the past couple years. I'm already racking my brain for some choices.
Laura! Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 I liked this when we did this the first time! I can't wait to start it again!
BJA TC MD Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 We have to wait till Monday to start Oh well. It'll be fun
ltrbmb17 Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 interesting contest. though for me Jesus of Surburbia still remains the greatest Green Day song will there be any covers to vote?
Hermione Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 interesting contest. though for me Jesus of Surburbia still remains the greatest Green Day song will there be any covers to vote? Yeah, studio recorded covers will be included with the b-sides.
ltrbmb17 Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Yeah, studio recorded covers will be included with the b-sides. good! i definitely can say i'll vote for Like a Rolling Stone! The greatest cover i've ever heard!
bjrules Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 I have absolutely know idea what song I'm going to vote for in 39/Smooth or Kerplunk. With 39/Smooth I can't choose between Paper Lanterns or Going to Pasalacqua, and with Kerplunk I can't choose between 80 or Who Wrote Holden Caulfield With all of the other albums I'm fairly sure what song I'll be voting for though. And, probably a stupid question, but will Shenanigans be included as an album in this contest? Or will those songs just go with the list of general b-sides?
