DookieLukie Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 The true meaning of that line will be debated until the end of time. I think it refers to BMX tires, which from the side looks like boobs. 1 Quote

Grinch Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 With the older albums, I like the non-single songs more than the singles. One of My Lies is a favorite Kerplunk song. Having a Blast is my favorite Dookie song and I listen to it all the time. Panic song has got to in my top 10 favorite Green Day songs, I just love it, when Billie's vocals comes in and the guitar comes in heavy. The lyrics I just love. I know that this was posted on the previous forum but I really love the song. Reject also has to be in my top 10, great song, hands down. I just think it's amazing. Church on Sunday or Fashion Victim are my two favorite Warning songs. I think Warning didn't have a good choice in singles, besides Waiting is also a favorite. They could have chosen songs that would better suit radio airwaves or music videos. More promotion too could have lead to better sales with Warning, like the trilogy. 1 Quote

The fact that Castaway was not a single is perhaps their worst omission singles wise. Church on Sunday was another candidate. But besides, When I Come Around, I don't think that Green Day has a more radio-ready song than Castaway. Quote
Anaïs. Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Related unpopular opinion: "Haushinka" is one of their most powerful songs and it should have been a single. It's a "Castaway"-level misstep that they never did so. 2 Quote
Danneh Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 I dont really fancy some of the songs on nimrod like worry rock, all the time or walking alone. Related unpopular opinion: "Haushinka" is one of their most powerful songs and it should have been a single. It's a "Castaway"-level misstep that they never did so. Haushinka is one of my favourite Green Day songs its like number 3 or 4 or something on my top ten list i just fucking love that song. Quote

green day is Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 What makes you say so? You know how Kerplunk (the era in which it was written) is part uninspired songs about girls and part songs about the future? Haushinka falls on the former's side. There's no wordplay whatsoever and the lyrics are far too blunt for my taste, it flat out says "I met a girl with a weird name and missed my chance and now I miss her" with nothing else to it. Not much is happening in the music to make up for it, either. Scattered (the first verse and chorus also being from 1992), on the other hand, is a song from that era I can get behind. I think Billie could have done a lot more to touch it up when they decided to put it on Nimrod. Quote

I think the guitar work saves it—it's just so passionate. The melody is fantastic too, especially in the bridge. Quote
Grinch Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Ahh yes, and Haushinka is a major favorite of mine. Quote
Guest Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Haushinka is also one of Tré's best ever drum performances. The intro and slick fills make that song. Quote

I was thinking about this earlier actually, but I genuinely cannot think of a Green Day song that is worse than The Forgotten, in my opinion. Some people might say Nightlife, but I'd probably take that over The Forgotten any day. 1 Quote

The Disappearing Boy Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Eh, I think Troublemaker and Wild One both beat it. They'd definitely be down there. Along with half of Uno, virtually all of Dos, the last 4 on Kerplunk and Horseshoes and Handgrenades. Might as well throw in The Network while we're at it. Quote
captain peroxide Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Never got the hype for the Network. Their only tolerable songs are Right-Hand-A-Rama and Roshambo. And Spike, I guess, but that barely counts as a song. Quote
