Purists, let’s go Insomniac (1995) Dookie (1994) Nimrod (1997) Kerplunk (1991) 39 Smooth (1990) Warning (2000) American Idiot (2004) Revolution Radio (2016) Uno (2012) Dos (2012) Tre (2012) 21st Century Breakdown (2009) Father of All Motherfuckers (2020)
1. Warning (2000) 2. Nimrod (1997) 3. American Idiot (2004) 4. Dookie (1994) 5. Insomniac (1995) 6. 21st Century Breakdown (2009) 7. Tre (2012) 8. Revolution Radio (2016) 9. Dos (2012) 10. Kerplunk (1991) 11. 39 Smooth (1990) 12. Father of All Motherfuckers (2020) 13. Uno (2012)
Anyone that puts FOAM over 39 Smooth needs to consider which one has “Going to Pasalaqua” and which one doesn’t.
EARLY GREEN DAY: 1,039 / Kerplunk PEAK GREEN DAY: Dookie / Insomniac / Nimrod LATE STAGE BUT STILL GOOD GREEN DAY: Warning Everything after that is another thing entirely, IMO.
Anyway, my ranking from the other thread. American Idiot (2004) Dookie (1994) Warning (2000) Nimrod (1997) 21st Century Breakdown (2009) Insomniac (1995) Revolution Radio (2016) Kerplunk (1991) Tre (2012) 39 Smooth (1990) Father of All Motherfuckers (2020) Uno (2012) Dos (2012)
American Idiot is such an accomplished album in so many ways. Just cannot wrap my head around any serious person considering it as a "Oh, these guys are rinsed" late career album.
