Clean Cut Asshole Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 "21 Guns", "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", "I Was There" (with hardcore fans), "409 in Your Coffeemaker" (with hardcore fans), "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". I like all of those songs, except "21 Guns" (I hate that song), but they're a bit overrated. Kerplunk is a good album and all, but it is my least fav GD record and alot of fans think it is better thatn 1039/SOSH, which is a much better album IMO.

Mar Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Minority isn't that great and I wish we could hear something different at concerts rather than that every time.
Tabeeb Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Minority isn't that great and I wish we could hear something different at concerts rather than that every time. Minority isn't that bad now.
Nuclear Family Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Minority isn't too bad, but if you're only going to play one song from Warning live, it should be Blood Sex and Booze or Jackass. More on-topic, though: I think American Idiot is the most overrated. It is a solid track, absolutely. It is a good opener for the album, sure. But do I want to hear it in the background every time Green Day is mentioned in the mainstream media? No, not really. A similar thing bothers me with Basket Case sometimes. Again, great track, but does a news station have to play their most popular song when there is a news story on them? If I could hear Hitchin' A Ride, Geek Stink Breath, or Warning in the background, I'd be much less annoyed. But I know I'm not the center of the universe, so no need to remind me
StuckWithInsomnia Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 among the bigger green day fans i'd have to say Letterbomb, Blood Sex and Booze, Coming Clean, and 2,000 light years away
petros Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 In my opinion Dookie.The singles are really good songs and unique.But almost all the other songs of the record are fillers(except from Burnout and FOD ). Insomniac on the other side is pure awesome
StarKiller Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 In my opinion Dookie.The singles are really good songs and unique.But almost all the other songs of the record are fillers(except from Burnout and FOD ). Insomniac on the other side is pure awesome To me it's the exactly the other way around Sure, Insomniac is a great album with some of Green Day's best songs, but to me songs like Brat or Babs Uvula Who are just pure filler. Whereas Dookie is amazing from first to last song.
Mar Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Minority isn't too bad, but if you're only going to play one song from Warning live, it should be Blood Sex and Booze or Jackass. No lies detected. There's a 90 percent chance I'd just impale myself on a pole at the concert, seppuku-style, if I were at a show and they performed Blood, Sex and Booze because I don't think I'd be able to handle that. Not a big Brain Stew/Jaded fan, either. All in all, I'm just not a big fan of the Insomniac singles at all (I love the rest of the album).
DeAmbassador Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Hmm...I think that 21 Guns is overrated as well.Also Geek Stink Breath,WMWSE,and Know Your Enemy. Basket Case as well.
fatherotti Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 BOBD's is the most overrated Green Day song of all time. Not because its a terrible song, because it isn't a terrible song, its the song that made me fall in love with the band. But because the radio absoutely killed it as a single in 2004/05 by overplaying the piss out of it. I get that its cool the radio was at least playing Green Day songs but come on, it was ridiculous. Over here in the bay area the local rock station Live105 just butchered it. I think Billie Joe even made fun of it once. But yeah not a terrible song, just horrendous amounts of radio play. They've barely even touched Oh Love, go figure.
Cre Tool. Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 As most of you stated - BOBD, American Idiot, 21 Guns etc. But actually 21 Guns is underrated among the Green Day fandom I mean I get that is very popular and all but it isn't that bad of a song. I don't think it deserves so much hatred just because it got a bit too popular. But anyway that's just my opinion which isn't important
DannyDirnt Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Know Your Enemy, 21 Guns, East Jesus Nowhere, When I come Around American Idiot may be overrated too, but I love it so much myself that I wont put it on the list.
Tabeeb Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 I've been noticing that Know Your Enemy seems to be known by alot of my friends. o.O
blue elephants Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 As most of you stated - BOBD, American Idiot, 21 Guns etc. But actually 21 Guns is underrated among the Green Day fandom I mean I get that is very popular and all but it isn't that bad of a song. I don't think it deserves so much hatred just because it got a bit too popular. But anyway that's just my opinion which isn't important I think the only reason that 21 Guns is popular is because of the American Idiot album with Wake Me Up When September Ends. I guess people saw 21 Guns as more of a sad song like Wake Me Up When September Ends. I think 21 Guns has meaning just like Wake Me Up When September Ends: world has problems, and guy wants to do anytihng to protect his girlfriend. I don't know how to explain it, but that's how I see it Anyway, the most overrated song is Longivew. I like the song, but it's overplayed on my radio station a bit too much.
The Grohl Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Maybe Who Wrote Holden Caufield or Christie Road. Don't get me wrong they're great songs, but I think there are better ones out there.
Vic_Rattlehead Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Wake Me Up When September Ends, 21 Guns, Time of Your Life, possibly Jesus of Suburbia? (I prefer Homecoming )
Harry Potter. Posted August 9, 2012 Author Posted August 9, 2012 In my opinion Dookie.The singles are really good songs and unique.But almost all the other songs of the record are fillers(except from Burnout and FOD ). Insomniac on the other side is pure awesome THANK YOU!
casey1251 Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Well,..... I think I am going to have to say maybe Holiday. Do not get me wrong, I in no way dislike the tune by any means. I was however somewhat surprised by the warm reception it recieved by such a large audience, as well as how high a position it ended up attaining on the Billboard Hot 100.
AfterShock Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 I'm flabbergasted that anyone could mention Basket Case or When I Come Around.......dafuq? Popular =\= overrated. Anyhoo, I'd probably have to say Restless Heart Syndrome (seems like a lot of fans really like this one - it really isn't that great) and a lot of stuff off of 1039 and Kerplunk! I feel like some people just overhype those tracks just cause they're the least known Green Day songs, even though a lot of them aren't very well written (not saying that all aren't good, just some).
Cris. Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 In my opinion Dookie.The singles are really good songs and unique.But almost all the other songs of the record are fillers(except from Burnout and FOD ). Insomniac on the other side is pure awesome Change this: "(except from Burnout and FOD )." for this: "(except from Burnout, Having a Blast and FOD )" and I cometelly agree with this post. Insomniac is such a great album indeed. Ironically though, I think the most overrated GD song is actually Walking Contradaction. I care very little for that song and honestly believe any other song off Insomniac is three times more awesome than Walking Contradiction. And I also think Restless Heart Syndrome is overrated among GD fans, even some 21stCB "haters" seem to like this song a lot. I don't like it at all. Also Know Your Enemy, very overrated. That's all I can think for the time being.
