Rolling Stone's Readers Poll - Green Days Best Songs

[desertrose]

Green Day's Best Songs

Picks include 'Longview,' 'Basket Case' and 'Welcome to Paradise'

Billie Joe Armstrong's recent onstage freak-out and subsequent trip to rehab are only going to be minor bumps in the road. His band still has three albums coming out over the next few months, and they still have a world tour in the works. We figured this was a good time to find out your favorite Green Day songs. The response was huge. Here are the results.

nice to see people recognize JOS as a true masterpiece

I would have to have Minority in my top 10 though.

[Lauren]

I feel like J.O.S. is kind of random on that list.

like I know it's technically a single, but it wasn't really a single, if you know what I mean

Surprised it's #1 (not that I don't love the song)

I know what you mean. IMO it probably is the best song they've every written, although it's not my personal favourite (it's up there though!)

[Burnout98]

Oh god the comments... I really should never read comments on music sites....

[TheBrick]

Half the list is from dookie! Didn't really surprise me though.

[Satan]

it's basically all dookie and american idiot though..

I remember our local music video channel refused to play the video. Too risque for NZ tweens/teens.

I love minority. I think people just overlook it because it's on Warning.

But Warning is such a great album! Such a shame how little attention it seems to get.

I agree. Warning, Minority, Macy's Day Parade, and Blood Sex and Boose are my favorite tracks off of the album.

[Will117]

Waiting is easily one of Green Day's best songs tbh.

[Freezing Melons]

It's hard to choose a top 10, but yea those are all classics.

[Mar]

No lies detected with the pick for No. 1.

[Eponine]

Waiting is easily one of Green Day's best songs tbh.

That song gave me chills the first time I really listened to it. So great.

[Todd]

I was real surprised to see JoS won. That wasn't even a major radio single. and glad that there were no 21cb songs on there. They're good, but not the best.

[BradGreenDay]

There are no songs for Warning on there.... WTF

Warning is so underated these days....

[Brother]

Jesus of Suburbia is a masterpiece.

My favorite song.

WHAT??????

WHERE"S HOLIDAY AND WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS???????

[Ritz]

I like Rolling Stone. They give Green Day positive press. Always!

[Bolanic]

It looks to me like that list was chosen by people who have only heard Green Day on the radio, and have never heard a complete album.

[porksoda]

List should be retitled "Green Day's Best Singles", and then be re-written to include Holiday.

[That Dude]

I know what you mean. IMO it probably is the best song they've every written, although it's not my personal favourite (it's up there though!)

What in the world is IMO?

[Ritz]

What in the world is IMO?

In My Opinion
