| Ranking the Green Day albums
Metalheads can be punks too. Green Day is a great band, basically reviving interest in punk rock. To honor them and their R&R HoF induction, here's their albums ranked. | | 1 |  | Green Day
Nimrod
Dookie is the common choice for number one, but Nimrod pretty much exceeds it in every way. It has more experimentation, less filler, and just is easier to listen to and enjoy than their other albums.
Highlights: "Nice Guys Finish Last", "Hitchin' a Ride", "Scattered", "Worry Rock", "Platypus", "Uptight", "King for a Day", "Good Riddance"
Lowlights: ""All the Time". "Reject" | | 2 |  | Green Day
Dookie
I love this album a lot, but the only reason it's ranked number one usually is because it started the interest in punk again, not because it's better than a different album (Nimrod).
Highlights: "Burnout", "Having a Blast", "Longview", "Basket Case", "She", "Sassafras Roots", "When I Come Around"
Lowlights: None that stand out | | 3 |  | Green Day
Kerplunk
Their last indie album is seriously a hidden gem. Check this album out. Now.
Highlights: "One for the Razorbacks", "Private Ale", "One of My Lies", "80", "Android", "Words I Might Have Ate"
Lowlights: "Best Thing In Town", "Strangeland" | | 4 |  | Green Day
Warning
Severely underrated, it's almost criminal. It may be folk influenced, but it's more mature and is super nice to listen to.
Highlights: "Blood, Sex, and Booze", "Church On Sunday", "Fashion Victim", "Jackass", "Waiting", "Minority"
Lowlights: "Castaway", "Deadbeat Holiday" | | 5 |  | Green Day
Insomniac
The harder, grittier cousin of Dookie. Other than obvious filler, this is an amazing album.
Highlights: "Stuck with Me", "Geek Stink Breath", "Bab's Uvula Who?", "Brain Stew", "Westbound Sign"
Lowlights: "Brat", "No Pride", "86" | | 6 |  | Green Day
American Idiot
It's probably because I'm not too big a fan of alternative rock, but I think AI is overrated. Nonetheless still a good album.
Highlights: "Jesus of Suburbia", "Holiday", "St. Jimmy", "Letterbomb", "Homecoming"
Lowlights: "Are We the Waiting", "Extraordinary Girl" | | 7 |  | Green Day
21st Century Breakdown
Another overrated rock opera in my eyes. It has it's diamonds, though, like all albums.
Highlights: "Christian's Inferno", "East Jesus Nowhere", "Peacemaker", "Restless Heart Syndrome", "Horseshoes and Handgrenades"
Lowlights: "Know Your Enemy", "Viva la Gloria", "Last Night On Earth", "Last of the American Girls", See the Light" | | 8 |  | Green Day
1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours
Their debut album mixed with their EPs when they were Sweet Children. Nothing too memorable, but nothing bad.
Highlights: "Don't Leave Me", "Disappearing Boy", "Going to Pasalacqua"
Lowlights: Nothing that stands out | | 9 |  | Green Day
iTRE!
The best of the trilogy, which isn't too big of a compliment.
Highlights: "Brutal Love", "Dirty Rotten Bastards"
Lowlights: "Sex, Drugs & Violence", "The Forgotten" | | 10 |  | Green Day
iDOS!
A garage rock party record. Nothing more than that.
Highlights: "Lazy Bones", "Makeout Party", "Stray Heart"
Lowlights: "Stop When the Red Lights Flash", "Wild One", "Lady Cobra", "Nightlife" | | 11 |  | Green Day
¡UNO!
Eh.
Highlights: "Let Yourself Go", "Oh Love"
Lowlights: "Fell for You", "Troublemaker", "Angel Blue" | |

05.07.15 | Artuma, calling Green day punk is like calling the Bee gees Punk, I like Green Day, but come on, mainstream, or pop is more like it. Not every band that were jeans, t-shirts and leather wristbands can be called punk. | ChoccyPhilly
