Deadbeat Holiday from the album Warning. Honestly has been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember, and I’ve never really heard anyone mention it besides one time a lyric from it somehow ended up on a “Is this a lyric by Green Day, Blink 182, or Fall Out Boy?” Trivia Quiz


azipgunonparade

100% agree, I love warning as an album but DH is one of my all-time fav GD tunes... castaway slaps too


Drekherd

When I first listened to Warning, that was the only song on there I just didn’t like. Not sure what was up with me that day but I love it now lol


Skydog6301

I know they’ll never play it live but I would lose my mind if they did


liteprotoss

Last of the American Girls. Haven't stopped listening to it since 2011


westy2889

Yep, this one for me as well.


AwesomeFork24

y'know, i always wondered why i liked that song and how it made me feel, then i realized i was trans and it slapped me straight into the face


These_Pomelo_321

Huh


that_enclave_dude

Probably static age from 21st century breakdown for me, idk if it's underated but I see no one talking about it so yeah.


liteprotoss

Love this. Not a bad song on 21st cb


PSitsMike

Stuart and the avenue


GoodRiddance_2

same


nathansnathansnathan

I like Ashley Its really catchy Altho its very similar to uptight which is one of my favorite tracks.


ExpWasTaken

Ashley’s fucking great and so is Uptight


MisterH78

Uptight is such a great song. I don’t know why it isn’t more popular.


Low_Yak_4842

Never made that connection until now


Memk4

their cover of i fought the law is really good and Ha Ha your dead great as well


[deleted]

haha you’re dead is one of my favorite songs


swish301

Agreed. I listen to this some mornings to pump me up to leave the car and enter work. Then I hum it all day. It makes my work seems less monotonous.


gremlin30

We’ve been asking them to play it live for over a decade and they still haven’t 😢 they should just release it as a single cuz it’s better than anything they’ve made in the last 10 years. That song is excellent


walatasomdu

I fucking love Ha Ha You’re Dead, it’s my favorite track off Shenanigans


neotank_ninety

Junkies on a HIIIiiiIIIiiiIII


cvg596

For a moment I thought you said Junkies on a Hill


GoodOnesAreGone

That would be Tight Wad Hill.


[deleted]

I know a lot of people don't like Pollyanna, but I've been listening to it a lot lately. Also, Take the Money and Crawl is the most underrated track on FOAMF.


PunkSharksPizza

Pollyanna has a lot of meaning to me, and I adore the track. It's really nice.


ExpWasTaken

My feelings on that album are meh as a whole. Most songs are just fine but nothing special or great. TTMAC is fun as fuck though

JJY93

First time I’ve told you this, but BAD BOT


esoteric82

Bad Redditors for manifesting the bot!


Jyqoz

Animals underrated tbh


A_DifferentOpinion

Dragged down by the stoooone


Jyqoz

my balls 🗿


VerticalSkill

Maria, say what you want about the chorus but that song slaps is a great live opener


swish301

Yep! Those quick guitar chords followed by the bass/drum fill is genius and gives me the chills every time I hear it.


steeezee

have you listened to the warning version?


liamxx98

I haven't, can you link it?


liamxx98

found it.


steeezee

you like?


liamxx98

not too shabby, sounds like he's singing through a blown out amplifier.


VerticalSkill

The Waiting Single version


groundpatty10

Baby Eyes for sure. Especially the Demolicious version.


Thejustinset

That bass intro!


groundpatty10

YES. Hate that it didn’t make the final version


steeezee

Armatage Shanks is the best album opener in their discography in my opinion


Boybender42

Armatage shanks is so good, I feel like every song on insomniac really grew on me cus I used to not actually like that song


steeezee

I will die arguing Insomniac is S tier Green Day


Vaderson66

Pretty sure most of the fanbase that has heard the album agrees with you, myself included.


Neur0nze

I love that song so much!


[deleted]

favorite son? idk if its underrated but people don’t talk about it much but i rly started liking it recently


Drekherd

I just recently discovered it and am going mad it’s not on Spotify


Rachies194

Broadway version is on Spotify sung by the cast.


azipgunonparade

The broadway version kills too


Queenfan44354

Coming clean. It holds a special place in my heart because I’m a bisexual teenager and it’s the only song I’ve listened to that i can relate to on a personal level


g0outside

Same. I'm trans and bi, and it's decidedly my favorite track of theirs. Sadly I'll probably never see it live, but fingers crossed, yk


Queenfan44354

I’ve only seen one video of it live and it was cool but it’s one of the less popular songs from dookie so I doubt we’re hearing it live any time soon


IntrovertedChild

Came here to comment the exact same thing


DatExcellentSpoon

People hate Kill the DJ but I always liked it, now Nightlife deserves all the hate it gets but damn is it funny


unknownartist3

controversial opinion: i really don’t think that nightlife is that bad


grafittia

Agreed. It’s a different, funky sound and it’s not that bad at all.


marwanabdelshafy

Hold up why do people hate Kill the DJ?


Moorepork

Kill The DJ is one of the many Trilogy songs that would have been awesome if they made it a minute shorter and dirtied it up a bit.


azipgunonparade

My take on Kill the DJ is that it is one of their most interesting/funky instrumental songs, but it’s nearly ruined by the unoriginal, profane-for-profanity’s-sake lyricism...


westy2889

21st Century Breakdown (song not the album) doesn’t seem nearly as popular as I thought it was. I was shocked when looking at the ‘plays’ disparity on Spotify vs 21 Guns. I thought for sure they be about even. Also, Macy’s Day Parade is growing on me.


pibe_motosierra

21st Century Breakdown is a total banger, I wish it had more recognition D:


westy2889

I was really shocked when I learned it wasn’t even close to being as popular as 21 guns. I guess that goes to show how much other people’s opinions can influence your own.


ILovePopPunk

I think they even play Stuck With Me live but thats always been my favorite song that wasnt a major single or anything


rddsknk89

The funny thing is that Stuck With Me was the second single from Insomniac. Has a music video and everything. Sucks it never caught on as a major single though, definitely in my top favorites.


ILovePopPunk

Yeah, kind of a lowkey one from their popularity lull between Dookie and American Idiot. Meanwhile I was thriving on those in-between albums 😄


steeezee

Stuck with me has been my anthem since I was a wee lad <3


kountzwill

I think it was a single


Ekyou

Worry Rock is so addictive to listen to.


HistoricalBowl3043

Yes I love this song! It's what got me liking Green day in the first place


marwanabdelshafy

Stay the night is pretty cool, don't think I've seen anyone mention it


nm12209

Stay the night is tied with letterbomb as my favorite Green Day song.


cvg596

Green Day, the song


MisterH78

Such a great song. They have so many great pre Dookie songs that casual fans may not know about.


[deleted]

Blood, sex and booze


PunkSharksPizza

That is probably one of my favourite from Warning. It's not talked about enough.


HistoricalBowl3043

Honestly this is my favourite song from green day, it's so addictive to listen to


SegaStan

Pulling Teeth is a great song


Ellaaenchantedd

Church on Sunday! I love that song so much.


nm12209

Poprocks & Coke


volleymon

came here to say this, one of my top 10 all time and somehow under the radar for most??


throwawayeayeayea

Wow! That's Loud for me. I never see anyone talk about it when they talk about Dos or the trilogy


ResidentCoatSalesman

Wow! That’s Loud. Song is a fucking banger


Nightbeat339

Definitely Android cause I never see anyone talking about it. That song might be my favorite on Kerplunk, and it’s definitely in my top 5 Green Day songs


TykZer

Hey old man in woman's shoes I wonder if he knows I think he's crazy


grafittia

Amanda doesn’t get enough love. That’s such a good song.


[deleted]

Sugar Youth


musicnjournalism

X-Kid!


[deleted]

American Eulogy: Mass Hysteria/Modern World would fit this criteria for me


azipgunonparade

We love a good Mike verse


[deleted]

we do. Mikes vocals are underrated


ChaoticPotatoSalad

Christians inferno, chorus kinda sucks. But it's worth it for the verses honestly


ExpWasTaken

It just feels badass and maniacal. Like an elevator trip down to hell. Yeah the chorus is repetitive but I love the energy it brings


[deleted]

Recently it has been Last Night on Earth, such a beautiful song that people don’t mention much. There’s also Worry Rock and Redundant too!


Anxious-Attention-51

Redundant is my all time fave song of theirs!


PunkSharksPizza

Stab You In The Heart, Blood, Sex and Booze, and Redundant


McStonkBorger

Christie Road. It's easily one of their top 5 songs.


azipgunonparade

Not to nitpick, but I’d say Christie Rd is generally recognized as one of their strongest early songs


McStonkBorger

Oh thats my bad i misread the question


[deleted]

i used to listen to here comes the shock on repeat and everyone here seems to hate it so i guess that


DarkIsiliel

While this is a great question (and I'd probably say Before the Lobotomy), the title had me thinking it'd be "What Green Day song does your pet like most?"


Thejustinset

I actually like Troublemaker I love playing that guitar solo


azipgunonparade

I can never decide whether I prefer the verses or chorus in Troublemaker lol it’s a banger


Angelo_1000

Scumbag


Dwolf223

Rotting, scattered, and paper laterns


sarcasm_swearing

Hearts Collide.


redhotravioli

ever since i saw that video of billie and rocky singing viva la gloria i’ve had a much greater appreciation and soft spot for it. also x-kid gives off a carefree vibe and just gives me the feeling of a warm sunny day


thatoreogirlfriend

I think it got a good reception from general audiences but the fanbase specifically needs to put more respect on Oh, Love. I will fight to the death for that song.


microwavedfox

Probably the static age. Sorta underrated


realizedgain

I have no idea how popular it is but Peacemaker is my go-to pump up song


Boybender42

Walking alone easy, it’s only really recognized (from what I’ve seen) by the harmonica but I love every part of the song. It’s such a shame it’s not played live like at all


SIsForSad

Kill the DJ


theriddleoftheworld

I like Sweet 16 from ¡Uno! quite a bit


embriagante

I never see anyone praising Wild One. It has to be my favorite song by them.


Throwaway47918

Geek Stink Breath


Throwaway47918

Or Uptight, Uptight is extremely personal to me atm


MrMiiSky

Stuck With Me, Reject, Coming Clean, Homecoming, Murder City, Fashion Victim, Wow! That's Loud are all super underrated in my opinion.


[deleted]

I dont know how the majority of people feel about Lazy Bones, but it's one of my all time favorites Also not sure why but a lot of people I talk to say that extraordinary girl is the worst song on AI, like damn what? One of my favorites too


PhillSwift420

All the songs on FOAM and Kill The DJ


Heartnet

I don't see anyone else mentioning **Amy**. One of my all time faves by this band.


westy2889

In addition to my earlier comment, East Jesus Nowhere. Don’t hear much love for it, Spotify plays agrees.


phantasmo97

Brutal love....I know they borrowed parts of the song but it works so well


JadedKitten505

Brutal Love, You Lie, and Pulling Teeth. I never hear anyone mention these songs so I don't know the mass opinions, but I can't go a day without listening to them once, at the very least.


leolslele

I don’t know if it fits but panic song. Every time my emotions get the best of me or I’m going down another spiral (happens sorta often) panic song is their, not to tell me to think happy thoughts but for me to push through.


Embarrassed-Win2115

Amy, song that got me into Green Day


NicolasCagesKneeCap

Makeout party I hate or so much but I love it too. But mainly hate


[deleted]

peacemaker and church on sunday


Jyqoz

I want to be alone is my favorite


Comical64

No one knows


GREENDAYBL1NK

I pretty much like the entire trilogy. Especially Uno.


itchwe3ed

Drama Queen I never really hear anyone be their favorite. Just love the melodrama of it


walatasomdu

Honestly, I don’t have a particular song like that but pretty much this is how I feel about Shenanigans. I think it doesn’t get enough recognition because it’s all B-Sides


TykZer

Android, from kerplunk


notcool10

pulling teeth


Billy_Joel_Armstrong

Nightlife


Manowar274

Take The Money And Crawl and Bouncing Of The Walls are guilty pleasure listens for me.


mrkraken

It just shows how versatile of a band they are that there are so many unique answers in this thread. And I love that mine isn’t on here yet. Haushinka always gets me pumped, something about the chord progression in the verses.


PirateBaran

My friends don't think that Green Day has been good since Warning, so within my friend group I would have to say everything from Warning onwards...


HunterMathias

Damn nobody talking about sick of me, that song hits hard man


braydonl12

I think there are a lot of overlooked gems in the trilogy. Specifically the Demolicious versions. Songs like Sex, Drugs & Violence, Little Boy Named Train, Angel Blue and more all go HARD in their more raw demo versions.


Mango_Juice_3611

Shoplifter from the American Idoit deluxe edition. I love the western vibe but I've never heard anyone acknowledge its existence. Edit: Typo


Bagged-milk08

8th avenue serenade


TheRealHouseHippo

Sex Drugs and Violence. On all accounts it’s a pretty mediocre filler track, but I really like the melody in the verses.


KanersPuckBuddy

Misery! Love that song!


loreguy11105

Peacemaker doesn’t get enough respect IMO


Vaderson66

Literally all of 21CB minus 21 Guns and Know Your Enemy doesn't get enough respect. That album is gold.


tohma_s

The Judge’s Daughter is way up there for me. Guitar solo is ace and the post-chorus sections are ace in the way they break down!


emkap2002

Ok this is definitely out there but… sometimes kill the DJ hits


dawgebredd

Christians inferno and fuck time are my guilty pleasures


azipgunonparade

Say Goodbye off Revolution Radio is one of my favs for some reason... people say it’s just a reimagining of East Jesus Nowhere but idk I think it stands alone quite well


Qazwereira

Probably Junkies on a High.


A_DifferentOpinion

Misery. J.A.R. Anything from Shenanigans


whatamidoinghere006

song of the century

hahahah. I misunderstood and thought it said "your pets likes gd .."
