they don’t want to be American idiots
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
Green Day song
this list we’ve chosen our entries based
on a combination of the artists fan
favorites and their most commercially
successful songs
number ten brain stew this track off
Green Day’s fourth album was released as
one single with Jaden
since the songs bleed into each other
but it’s brain suit that we’ve chosen
for the list because of its memorable
guitar riff and simple lyrics with its
punk rock vibes the top 40 track is also
a green head live staple
number 9 hn arrived
Nimrods first single is an alt rock and
punk rock concoction with a shuffle beat
that’s sure to get you moving
Hitchin a ride captivates us with Mike
Dern space and Trey cools Drummond
Billy Joe Armstrong keeps the pace with
his vocals and guitar work and then the
song culminates in a build-up where the
band lets it all loose
that’s just our kind of rise
number eight welcome to paradise
though it was originally recorded for
Kirk Ross it’s the version off Dukie the
we put here
their third album second single kicks
off with a blast that immediately reels
you in
welcome to
add tree cools frantic drumming and
Ernst bass solo to Armstrong’s vocals
and guitar
and you’ve got a song that’s an awesome
showcase of the trio’s chemistry
it’s classic green day all the way
welcome
number seven when I come around with its
four cord main riff and two cord chorus
this mid-tempo Punk and alt rocker may
be simple but it’s also oh so effective
written following Armstrong’s breakup
with a girlfriend when I come around is
so catchy that radio stations wouldn’t
stop playing it
the song also topped the modern Rock
Tracks chart and helped cement Green
Day’s mainstream popularity
number six boulevard of broken dreams
Green Day made a name for themselves as
punk rockers but that doesn’t mean
they’ve been afraid to experiment
the risk paid off with the concept
albums American Idiot
which became the band’s second
best-selling record
with its alternative rock sound and
melancholy lyrics the efforts second
single didn’t only hit the Billboard Hot
100 second spot but also won a Grammy
and sold over 5 million copies worldwide
number five Longview
while its subject matter is boredom
Longview is far from a boring track with
its unmistakable bass line references
about drugs and self-love and
Armstrong’s chagrined vocal delivery
dukey’s first single was the perfect
introduction to Green Day’s punk rock
style
known for its shuffle rhythm the
grammy-nominated number was also
accompanied by a music video that
quickly caught on with the masses
number four good riddance time of your
life another turning point a fork stuck
in the road before they experimented
with rock opera Green Day surprised fans
and critics with this acoustic rock
ballad so make the best of the track
proved the band could find success by
changing things up and that they were
more than just punk rockers
I hope you at the die
while it’s radio-friendly sound earned
them crossover appeal the contemplative
lyrics of good riddance also made it a
popular farewell song that time number
three American Idiot four years after
the commercially disappointing warning
Green Day came back in full force with
American Idiot
the album’s politically charged title
cut became the band’s first charting
single on the Billboard Hot 100 earned
them four Grammy nods and recharged
their career
starting off with an energetic guitar
riff American Idiot combines the band’s
musical talents with Armstrong’s angry
and opinionated vocals in a song that
gets you rockin in just three short
minutes
number two Jesus of Suburbia
clocking in at a little over nine
minutes long Jesus of Suburbia
was a daring choice as American idiots
last single
radio stations booked at its length
while it’s Rockhopper styles stunned
those used to Green Day’s more Punk and
alt-rock sounds
despite this the epic track is
considered one of the Bands finest
compositions
with its five movements a piano heavy
interlude and anthemic conclusion is it
any wonder rock radio still played the
original over the edited country
it’s just that good
I don’t feel any shame I won’t apologize
when there it no you can go
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
wake me up when September
number one basket case do you have the
time to listen to me whine recounting
Armstrong’s anxiety issues dukey’s third
single immediately caught on with people
who related to its melodramatic lyrics
and unforgettable punk rock and pop punk
sound
topping the modern Rock Tracks chart for
five weeks
the grammy-nominated basket-case showed
that we didn’t only have a time to
listen to the band whine but that we
also loved every minute of it
the 90s simply wouldn’t be the same
without it or its music video which
ruled MTV’s airwaves for quite some time
