The lost Green Day Post

There was a time when Green Day wasn't creating generic junk, and lame musicals. Back in 1990 when they released Kerplunk on Lookout records Green Day had a sound that made them huge a few years later with Dookie. 2000 Light Years Away is the first track, and you can hear in this song why Green Day has been able to make it as far as they have. It is very catchy, but unlike their new stuff it has a little edge. Welcome to Paradise was originally released on this album, and it is that kind of tune you can expect for the rest of the album, but unlike later releases they still incude their hillbilly humor song Dominated Love Slave (it is sorta like Sassafrass roots off Dookie.
I don't know really where to start when discussing songs on this album, but Words I Might Have Ate is a great, almost folksy song. The cover of My Generation was a formitable achievement. Think the opposite of the abomination Limp Bizcut created.
This is the best Green Day album - trust me. Dookie is an argueable alternative, but it might be the recording value (the crappier the punker) but this album has a sound that I don't think can be topped for the type of music it is. That is not to say that I think this is the best album ever, but I believe that out of every disc I own this is the one I would bet on being universally enjoyed.
By the way I got to say I am very disappointed in Green Day, but I want everyone to know I am not sore at them despite what I am going to write.
What the Hey!? is with all this American Idiot noise. I read an article in a Magazine called Threat (don't get me started on that publication) where Green Day said they thought writing a rock opera was so the opposite of punk that it was super punk. Super punk is my descriptive word, but that was the gist of an explanation for American Idiot. There are about three quality tunes on that album in my opinion and other than that Green Day is more about make up than music.
Save your money next timew Green Day releases an album, and buy Kerplunk.
