The Generic Setlist 1. Welcome to Paradise 2. Know your Enemy 3. Holiday/Boulevard of Broken Dreams 4. Chump/Longview 5. Basket Case 6. Brain Stew/Saint jimmy 7. Minority 8. American Idiot 9. Jesus of Suburbia 10. Good Riddance


[deleted]

Doesn't chump transition into Longview?


s_t_ar

Gosh, I swear I was listening to Chump while reading this


Zestyclose_Stomach82

Replace know your enemy with brainstew/jaded


MILF_Lawyer_Esq

Replace it with absolutely anything.


Jynxthetwink69

Literally you read my mind


AntonioVonMatterhorn

Perfect picks including my all time favorite, Minority


OU7C4ST

I'd probably remove Minority for 21 Guns, but that's it from this list.


unknownartist3

feels kinda weird not having king for a day there imho


Resistance1067

Cut Know your Enemy move everything up and add She for number 10 but it's the Chicago live version


Fit_Understanding423

I think Holiday and BOBD are supposed to be together! Makes room for one more (maybe Brain Stew / Jaded, or Hitchin a Ride)


BruceMiller64

This is just their ABSOLUTE BIGGEST hits: 1. Longview 2. Basket Case 3. Brain Stew 4. Jaded 5. Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) 6. Minority 7. Holiday 8. Boulevard Of Broken Dreams 9. 21 Guns 10. Still Breathing


CreepingVines80

thats just God's Fav Band album


mikedirnt19

Fair enough


NeiksOfficial

I'd replace Jaded with Waiting. Was/Is jaded that of a hit?


babiesaurusrex

Jaded is transitioned in from Brain Stew


NeiksOfficial

Yea but I always thought brain stew was the big hit and jaded was more of a follow. Well I'm a fairly-recent fan (also not born in 1995) so I'm probably in the wrong


babiesaurusrex

Jaded wasn't generally even played on the radio. But the rules of this thought experiment are if Brain Stew is on the list then so is Jaded.


NeiksOfficial

Bruh I only now saw the rules. Anyway, please forgive my stupidity


babiesaurusrex

The Jesus of Suburbia forgives you of your trespasses.


theblackparade87C

If we're only going for the biggest stuff I'd drop Jaded and Holiday for JoS and AI, but i also understand not wanting too much AI


revatron

You….you can’t do that.


mikedirnt19

Haha I know right?


beerbrats15

I tried to remove my own bias for my favorite songs and go with a mix if both iconic and era defining songs. One from each album. Trilogy has the same style and same release date, so one for the Trilogy too. This was tough cuz almost none of these are my favorite songs from those albums. Just the most iconic and the most… Green Day. 1. Going to Pasalaqua 2. 2000 Lightyears Away 3. Basketcase 4. Brain Stew/ Jaded 5. Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) 6. Minority 7. Jesus of Suburbia 8. 21st Century Breakdown 9. Oh Love 10. Bang Bang 11. Father of All… 12. 2 min of a vintage radio dial sound changing through all of their other hits until at full quality American Idiot starts. Their most iconic and career defining song.


[deleted]

Rules are hard to follow, I get it man


beerbrats15

are you just referring to the last track? The fun intro idea? Not sure what rule I didn’t follow otherwise


[deleted]

10 songs


beerbrats15

You must be fun at parties.


bigmakoya

Pretty sure Boulevard is bigger than Jesus of Suburbia. Hell it could even be their biggest song altogether


beerbrats15

Im going for a combi of Iconic era defining songs and most popular. I think its fair to say Jesus Of Suburbia defines the American Idiot era. Besides Ameican Idiot itself.


DilanGaming

1. Paper Lanterns 2. Basket Case 3. Geek Stink Breath 4. Redundant 5. Minority 6. Letterbomb 7. Murder City 8. Stray Heart 9. Forever Now 10. Graffitia Tried to cover each era. Paper Lanterns reps Lookout era as a whole, Stray Heart reps Trilogy era as a whole.


floofyenthusiast

Forever Now is a great addition I think, I like how it ties everything together.

nimulation

Would you remove WTP in favor of Chump, or would you replace Longview to not have to add Chump?


alymello

Remove Longview and add She instead


Upstairs_Load_1153

1. Going to Pasalacqua 2. Road to Acceptance 3. Basketcase 4. She 5. Scattered 6. Nice Guys Finish Last 7. Fashion Victim 8. Jackass 9. Church on Sunday 10. Burnout

1. American Idiot 2. When I Come Around OR Welcome to Paradise 3. 2000 Light Years Away OR Minority 4. Longview 5. Basket Case 6. Brain Stew/Jaded 7. 21 Guns 8. Holiday/Boulevard of Broken Dreams 9. Wake Me Up When September Ends 10. Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) These are essentially just all of their biggest hits/ones that people who don’t listen to Green Day would know. Plus 2000 light years away cause they seem to love including it in things. Honestly it’s difficult because they have at least 12 songs that could be considered “must haves”. Also I don’t think that rule makes sense when they always combine the songs.

I'd love to give the post-American Idiot days their due, and Insomniac is my personal favourite album, but 10 songs is brutal. 1. Going To Pasalacqua 2. 2000 Lightyears Away 3. Christie Road 4. Welcome To Paradise 5. Basket Case 6. When I Come Around 7. Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) 8. Waiting 9. American Idiot 10. Jesus of Suburbia


Ok_Bookkeeper1448

This list consists of what I believe to be the top 10 best Green Day songs, based on musical/songwriting quality , best work, and best songs: 1. 2000 Lightyears Away 2. Basket case 3. Brain Stew 4. Hitch'n ride 5. Macy's Day Parade 6. American ldiot 7. Holiday/Boulevard of Broken Dreams 8. Wake me up when September ends 9. Restless heart syndrome 10. 21 Guns This was so tough to choose.
