In @That Dude‘s defence (we have had this discussion for a while now) he’s not saying it’s bad, it’s his least favourite.  Fair enough I think.  I think it’s awesome but think Amy is just bad. We all have our opinions.😁

personally, i dont get the hype behind LOTAG and LNOE

I like Haushinka but I hate Father to a Son and I'm not a fan of Here Comes the Shart either.

At one of the recent shows someone asked me 'if you had to erase Jesus of Suburbia or Nightlife forever, which would it be?' And I actually hesitated  

Obviously, Jesus of Suburbia is objectively much better, but listening to it is like a full experience whereas Nightlife is just fun so I'm more likely to listen to it. I would keep Jesus of Suburbia but I'd be sad to erase Nightlife.

However! If it was between Jesus of Suburbia and American Eulogy or Forever Now, I would chuck Jesus in the bin.

We should have a 'which song would you erase?' thread.

haushinka as worst song over Father Of All Demoes or Here Comes the Shock is crazzzyyyyy

I don't really think of demos when thinking of the worst and Here Comes the Shock is definitely a contender for worst Green Day song.    If we included EVERYTHING....., Studio Banter or Shit Show or....Tre Polka.   

Other contenders would be Little Boy Named Train Demo.   Walking the Dog.   Stab You in the Heart.  That's bottom tier Green Day for sure.

I love the Trilogy, but can definitely see some weak spots in it.    Carpe Diem and Little Boy Named Train are half baked.   And Dos?  Even if it was a Tubbies album, it feels a little thrown together.   Wild One, Make Out Party, Lady Cobra and Wow That's Loud need more work.

Oh, we're playing the least favorite song game? 

The Forgotten (appropriately enough, is the only Green Day song I completely forgot existed during my time away 😅)

Little Boy Named Train

Sex Drugs and Violence (how are all of these songs in the same album as Brutal Love?) 

Amy

Unpopular opinion: Restless Heart Syndrome (it makes my blood boil every time someone compares it to Novacaine)

I'm also not a fan of Father to a Son (nor Suzie, sorry!)

I also don't get the hype for these. I don't dislike them, I'm just not a huge fan

I want to play too!🙃

For me the worst song ist Drama Queen: those lyrics are so cringe I can't stand to listen to the song (even if musically it's okay). And Drama Queen is closely followed by Amy which I dislike as a whole.

But all the rest of the songs are fine for me I think...

Edit: I was thinking about Haushinka, the starting point of this discussion. I didn’t care much for the song until I saw the videos of Chile some weeks back. And I began to appreciate it. Sometimes a live version can make a difference!
