dudley dawson Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 http://www.uproxx.com/up/2014/02/ranking-green-days-albums-worst-best/ Thoughts? I agree with 21CB being last and AI being close to it, but that's about it. Warning and the Trilogy should have been higher, and no way Insomniac and Nimrod should be higher than Dookie. But I always like to hear other opinions on The Day, even when I disagree .
Anaïs. Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Fucking garbage. AI below 39/Smooth? What the everloving hell?
moonflower93 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 some spots i can agree on. but the trilogy by far is the WORST they've done.
The Disappearing Boy Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Swap 8 and 9 around. And AI that low?! As for the rest, I largely agree, but Insomniac is nowhere near their best for me.
DirtyRottenForgotten Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I don't agree with any of this list
Ludwig van Beethoven Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 This list................ *Rages at keyboard* American Idiot FTW.
Karl Karlson Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 *Rages at piano and writes a new Symphony* fixed that for you
Ludwig van Beethoven Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 fixed that for you Beethoven's 10th, inspired by a shitty list, coming never.
Spike Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I wish people would stop classing AI as a political album. It's a story about self-discovery, containing about 2 political songs out of the 13. Sure you're going to be disappointed in it if you're expecting it to be something it isn't... Thank you! And the reverse is true of Breakdown. This is absolute bollocks and seems like a trolling attempt to me. Ludicrous and just... what. Hipster, really. I agree with Insomniac being number 1 but that's where it ends. Breakdown worse than Dos? I mean, what? They should have split the Trilogy up given that, yknow, they're different albums and Tre is far better than the other two.
The Disappearing Boy Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Yeah also they said uno was the best of the trilogy? No. Any list like this which doesn't have uno at the bottom is just wrong.
dudley dawson Posted February 24, 2014 Author Posted February 24, 2014 Yeah also they said uno was the best of the trilogy? No. Any list like this which doesn't have uno at the bottom is just wrong. Eh I think Uno and Tre are neck and neck, and Dos is right behind them. I would give Uno the slight edge here too.
DookieLukie Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Thank you! And the reverse is true of Breakdown. This this is absolute bollocks and seems like a trolling attempt to me. Ludicrous and just... what. Hipster, really. I agree with Insomniac being number 1 but that's where it ends. Breakdown worse than Dos? I mean, what? They should have split the Trilogy up given that, yknow, they're different albums and Tre is far better than the other two. Ok Insomniac is a great punk album but the best Green Day has made? Cmon now
WhiteTim Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Id rank Insomniac deft over Dookie But not at number 1
JOE THE X-KID Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I do consider Insomniac their best. Just my opinion. It's so pure, the lyrics are beautiful and the basslines top notch.
doworkson123123 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Insomniac? lol good joke. Though Nimrod is placed pretty well. Id probobly put nimrod at #3.
Vic_Rattlehead Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I agree with Insomniac and Nimrod being 1 and 2, everything else I would move around
greendepent Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I agree with number 1. The rest I don't care
Spike Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Ok Insomniac is a great punk album but the best Green Day has made? Cmon now I'm gonna go with yes. American Idiot may be more focused and a far bigger deal overall, but I love the rawness of Insomniac. It's a fantastic anger album, which is exactly what I need these days. The lyrics are the best Billie has ever written, Mike's bass playing and backing vocals are on absolutely top form, and as an album it just comes in, kicks the shit out of your ears for not a second longer than it has to, and leaves. Absolute masterpiece.
No Rhyme Or Reason Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I don't think I've ever disagreed with a list more. I'd rank the albums like this, best to worst: 1. American Idiot 2. 21st Century Breakdown 3. Dos 4. Nimrod 5. Tré 6. Dookie 7. Uno 8. Warning 9. Insomniac 10. 1,039/Smooth 11. Kerplunk
WhiteTim Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 American Idiot Insomniac 21st Century Breakdown Warning Nimrod Dookie ¡Tre! ¡Uno! Kerplunk! ¡Dos! 1, 039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours Is my ranking
GenesisJames Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I don't agree with that list AT ALL, but to each their own, I suppose.
Overjoyyed Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 The only thing I agree is dookie being third . It's weird to see other opinions. I could honestly live in a world without insomniac. I really never listen to it.
