Green Day Band • Page 103

Thanks for the head up, I snagged it.

 

Also, I have a 10 hour drive tomorrow. I decided to put everything Green Day has on Spotify into one playlist and will just jam that the whole way.

 

chronologically or shuffle?

 

Chronologically

 

beautiful, perfect. You should get realllllyyy in the weeds and put the singles from Shenanigans in chronologically with when they were first released instead of with the compilation

 

It really does. Does the Nimrod anniversary copy sound better than the old one?

 

How does that Dookie pressing that's on sale sound?

 

Honestly, I thought about it. I even found a site recently that details every recording session they’ve done. I learned that Chump and Longview were redone after originally being recorded for the Dookie sessions. But I guess they went on tour after recording and played them and they changed enough that they redid them before the album release. Those original Dookie recordings have never been released. Anyway, that did make think of splitting up Shenanigans, but I guess I’m just so used to that collection being in that order that I prefer it that way. Plus this puts Maria/JAR/Poprocks and Coke right before Shenanigans to extend the b-side stretch of songs.

 

Poprocks and Coke is so underrated but so good

 

I always thought I would skip way more songs on 21CB but re-listening to it makes me realize the only songs I actively want to skip are:

Song of the Century, Christian’s Inferno, Horseshoes & Handgrenades.

That’s way better than I remember. I remember being lukewarm on Last of the American Girls, but probably won’t skip it.

 

I’m not sure tbh. I do think I’ve ever heard the anniversary copy of nimrod!

 

Link?

 

i listened to international superhits yesterday on vinyl. so many classics.

 

Best Greatest Hits album of all time.

 

Agreed Cc @Craig Manning

 

It's a very good greatest hits album, but...

 

Correct

 

Eagles, Beatles, there's a million other great picks

 

Im not a huge TOm Petty fan but I bet if I looked, I would know all the words to all the songs on the Greatest Hits album.

 

In terms of bands whose best songs are singles and hence their quintessential album is a greatest hits comp... may I suggest for discussion:
Foo Fighters
Red Hot Chili Peppers

 

RHCP sucks & not just because one of them is a statutory rapist.

 

Stop When The Red Lights Flash has been a jam all day for me. I always forget about this song. I wish it wasn’t on Dos haha. The Reading performance of the song is cool too. Actually, all live performances of trilogy songs in that setlist are good.

 

because those songs are good

 

Yup, Smash, Dookie, and Rancid's ...And Out Come The Wolves are widely credited with catapulting punk into the mainstream in 1994. All were huge at the time.

 

...And Out Come The Wolves was '95. Dookie and Smash are the albums that truly broke punk to the mainstream in '94.
