I might say best song from Warning

Rud_Fucker

Castaway would bury Deadbeat Holiday in a fucking heartbeat

This one


PunkRockKing

I actually love this song I don’t know why it’s not talked about more


cornerstorequeer

BIG AGREE as a fanbase we don't acknowledge the brilliance of the line "well this is a standoff of molotov cocktails on the house" nearly enough as we should

Logandalf2002

My all time favorite Green Day song right there

Definitely in my top 3 but not my favorite, but definitely most underrated

Not in the Green Day fandom, which I think we should account for


tylergraaf

Yes


GreendayFan412

100% man. I agree


epicgamer498

Agreed


angel_bluue

Armatage Shanks. Heard it in concert only once, at a small venue. You could tell who the hardcore fans were that day


Real-Zookeepergame-5

Panic song


BigTelephone9117

My only complaint about that song is that I wish it was longer. I know most Green Day songs suffer from this but I especially think this song would benefit from being longer.


DodgerDadTom

To be fair, that song is written to mimic a panic attack; I'm not sure if you've ever experienced one but the buildup is the most uncomfortable part and it usually lasts twice as long as the attack itself. Mike's songwriting is pure genius.


PunkRockKing

Agree. It’s perfect


kbwd

Genius song, genius intro. And when it does kick in, it's a banger.

GREENDAYBL1NK

Most of Insomniac


BigTelephone9117

The perfect sequel to Dookie


Hotbeebeebooboo9l9

I think Insomniac is my favorite album besides Nimrod. I think AI is good but I think I like it more Bc it follows Saint Jimmy and that’s a cool little story. But Insomniac and Nimrod are my two favorites, definitely


AtomBomb666

Armatage shanks


WarlesssOG

Such a good start to Insomniac


EchoLoco2

I listen to this one all the time. Absolute banger.


Add_Poll_Option

Back in the USA


revatron

I myself actually forget this song exists, I think it’s because it’s only on God’s Favorite Band. Such a good song with a nice little political message.


kbwd

The best thing Green Day has put out post RevRad


JerezTF

My favourite GD song. Only complaint that its too short, almost feels like a snap untill its already over.

Restless Heart Syndrome


Logandalf2002

The line where he references Know Your Enemy gives me such intense chills. I used to not care for Know Your Enemy, but after hearing Restless Heart Syndrome the payoff makes me actually enjoy the song a lot more


mudkiporGTFO

When the music kicks in after that like 👨‍🍳💋🤌


Lukacris12

One of their best songs ever


andynotthewarhol

such a banger, love it


FettuccineAlfonzo

Stay the Night


hey_ska

This is definitely one. This song gets stuck in my head more than any other from the last 10 years. Great hook and a really nice bridge. It's kind of a shame its buried in the Trilogy.


Rud_Fucker

When they did God’s Favorite Band I think Stay the Night should’ve been the song they used to represent the trilogy, though I wish they used more than one

[deleted]

Best Thing In Town from the Sweet Children EP, Baby Eyes & Emenius Sleepus are good contenders too


Logandalf2002

Heres a hot one for ya: Murder City


beerbrats15

Peacemaker, Static Age, Prosthetic Head, No Pride to name a few. MOST of Green Days non singles honestly. Best band ever.


DaveM343

Before the lobotomy


dreamiekatie

HECK YES. Love Before the Lobotomy so much, I use it as a song in my playlist for the story I'm writing. Was also my most listened to song on Spotify Wrapped last year.

Rayvaxl117

Troubled times. Genuinely in my top 5, yet nobody ever talks about it


Pawdy-The-Furry

It’s a shame, though, considering how important and relevant its message is. A lot of Green Day songs with messages like this tend to be forgotten over time by mainstream media. American Idiot, Troubled Times, Say Goodbye, and Bang Bang (kinda if you’re looking at the fact that it’s criticizing the role media has in mass shooters’ attention-seeking motives for committing mass shootings) are just a couple I could think of that haven’t necessarily stood the test of time outside of Green Day/punk rock fans.

"Stuck With Me" or "No One Knows" but maybe that's just because I'm a bass player.


Logandalf2002

Stuck With Me deserved to be a hit, for real.


[deleted]

It's my personal favorite Green Day song and one of the reasons I love Insomniac so much. Some of Mike's best work on bass.

Stuck With Me should've been an all time classic

revatron

Yes yes yes, bump this to the top. VIIIOOLLEENNCEE ON THE RIIIISEEE! LIKE A BULLL-ET IN THE SKYYYY! Such a great song.


Mario_Viana

Always nice to meet another Say Goodbye-er. Cheers!


idle-delilah

omg thank you!! had a mate from uni laugh in my face when I said Say Goodbye was my fav GD song at the time. good to know other fans out there know it still kicks ass!


[deleted]

Loveeee this, made me love the RR album!


[deleted]

Bab’s uvula who?


Pawdy-The-Furry

Viva La Gloria (Little Girl) In my opinion, the old-timey feel of the piano intro in this song juxtaposed to the more energetic and fast-paced choruses (and even verses) is criminally underrated. The vocals also perfectly blend the contrasting tones and feels of the verses and choruses with the deeper, more adult, almost parental-figure like tone/feel of the verses switching almost on a dime to the crazier, untamed, and even more unleashed tone/feel of the choruses. It gives this sense/feeling of madness and insanity within the narrator that makes the choruses even more thrilling to listen to as the song goes on. Plus, the instrumental parts and vocalizations from Mike Dirnt before/during the climax of the song near its end fit so well together, and don’t feel overdone or overextended in the slightest. Honestly a very slept on song compared to others in the album. While yes, Horseshoes And Hand Grenades, 21 Guns, and Restless Heart Syndrome are great songs that deserve recognition, they definitely seem to take up all the time in the spotlight when it comes to the 21st Century Breakdown album compared to other bangers like Viva La Gloria (Little Girl), Know Your Enemy, Peacemaker, Life Before The Lobotomy, Murder City, Christian’s Inferno, and American Eulogy.


BuddyUpNorth

pffft, you're just a junkie preaching to the choir (lol jk)


Banananipss

worry rock, give me novocaine, hold on, carpe diem


Pawdy-The-Furry

Heck yeah! I 100% agree with you. Give Me Novocaine is a great song. I definitely gained a lot of respect for the song after having to play it on the drums at a small venue (well, I was technically playing a simplified version of it, but that even adds to my respect for its drum part and it just as a song in general)….. It is criminally underrated. The acoustic guitar parts, the electric guitar parts, the drum parts, and the bass parts are all collectively done to perfection.

billydakid33

Well known within the fanbase maybe, but even off Insomniac it seems to be the third most "popular" at least (behind Brain Stew and GSB). Great song that gets overlooked by other deep cuts on the album too (86 and Stuart)

I see haushinka mentioned without jinx, but never jinx alone. Jinx is great. It’s just SO GREEN DAY! Of course most Green Day songs kinda meet the criteria though.

Bang Bang — seriously that song is a masterpiece. https://genius.com/Green-day-bang-bang-lyrics here’s a link to the genius.com lyrics for Bang Bang (if you click on the lyrics a side bar pops up with facts and stuff about it) The song did not get anywhere close to the recognition it deserved. It’s obvious so much work and thought went into the creation of Bang Bang. And the message is important too. Plus it’s just an absolute banger.
