GREEN DAY

1 - Christie Rd.

I first heard Green Day when a friend played Kerplunk! for me--over 33 years later it remains my favorite Green Day album, and as with that day, Christie Rd. remains my favorite Green Day song.

Primus - Mrs. Blaileen

A darker song about Donny, a boy pushed too far by a classmate and his own teacher. Les Claypool sometimes tells the true story and uses the real names during live performances.

Silverfish - Fuckin' Strange Way to Get Attention

Scottish badass Lesley Rankine fronted this tragically overlooked band. Off 1992's Organ Fan, this one's aggressive and tells an interesting story.

Front 242 - Waste

Memories of this blaring in clubs, in my car at 2:00 a.m., in the background while discussing how to pronounce the album's title--always loud, and still my favorite Front 242 song.

2 - Redundant

"Choreographed and lack of passion
Prototypes of what we were"

Anyone who has had the misfortune of being trapped in this type of relationship feels every word of this lyrical masterpiece.

3 - Welcome to Paradise

A song so good it had to appear on two albums--the original can be found on Kerplunk!--the more known, re-recorded track pops up on Dookie. I prefer the Kerplunk! recording but we'll call this 3a & 3b.

Black Box Recorder - Child Psychology

Sometimes we remember the exact moment we first heard a song because it hit us so hard. When I first heard this one it gave me chills--and I fell in love with it.

What's an actually good song that you discovered via television commercial?

Breathe - Télépopmusik

I lived in a tiny studio apartment, saw this commercial on a 5 inch television a few times, and never forgot it--it's kind of weird seeing it in color.

The band took a lot of chances on their fourth album, Life Won't Wait--Hoover Street is one, and it shines. Always great storytellers, this song tells one of their more fascinating

4 - Hitchin' A Ride

Green Day doing their best Stray Cats? I'll take it. I love how the cool rockabilly beat gives way to a faster bridge, taking us (almost) to the song's end. I turn the volume up on this one every time.

5 - When I Come Around

When I think of Dookie this song comes to mind--is it because I heard it everywhere when it was released? Perhaps, but some songs are so good they are invincible against long-term overplay burnout.

Graham runs the best polls, and his current one is for one of the all-time great bands: The Doors!

103 songs start the first round, and we vote until only one remains. Check it out!

While we're talking about The Doors, here's a reminder of how awesome Land Ho! is

R.E.M. - Nightswimming

"These things, they go away
Replaced by every day"

Many songs have touched on nostalgia--none have done it as perfectly as Nightswimming, my favorite 90s song from R.E.M.

6 - Burnout

When I think of songs that define being a young adult in the early and mid 90s, this is one of the first to come to mind. Bored, disenchanted, uninterested, and who cares?--it's the perfect kickoff to Dookie.

Now watching:

Fright Night Part 2 (1988)

Is it as good as the original? No.

Is it a lot of fun? You betcha.
