i completely understand why people's favorite one is Nimrod. It has all the sounds their capable of combined, this album is really diverse!

I really like Insomniac, i wouldn't call it my favorite though. But it's one of my top because i do personally relate with the lyrics and i also just love straight up punk music. To me it's all raw and I love that. I do think it was meaningful and vital to help them cope with the backlash of dookie from their previous "fan base".

I'd probably say Insomniac is my favorite. like you, I relate to it a lot lyrically and I love the heavy sound of it.

That said, nimrod is a very close 2nd. nimrod will always be special to me because that was when I was first getting into Green Day and getting really stoked on them. I got into Green Day after Insomniac came out, so nimrod was the first Green Day album I was anticipating and I remember taping interviews and music videos off MTV onto my VCR. I remember going to the record store to buy the album on the day that it came out, and I remember reading about the show that happened at Tower Records the night before. The first time I ever saw Green Day live was on the nimrod tour. My dad took me to see them up near Albany on Mother's Day of 1998 when I was 11, so all of this factors into my love of the album
