Now, let's commence with #50 - #41!
#50 -- Stuart and the Ave. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yVilqCZfXw)
It's a song about knowing what you wanted to do in life and now you have no idea where it's going. Alot of people I know deal with this sort of thing, which is what makes this song awesome!
#49 -- Brain Stew (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNq9gmY_Oz4)
With a riff that has been passed down from generation to generation, this song makes a great hangbang song. Plus with the combined punk effort from "Jaded", the song after Brain Stew, it makes this one of Green Day's greatest hits.
#48 -- Wake Me Up When September Ends (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU9JoFKlaZ0)
How does one make a song about rememebering when your dad died and put it out as a hit? Only Billie Joe knows as this song comes out to be one that many new fans enjoy. Plus, with this song being my mom's favorite :P, it had to be on the list.
#47 -- Road To Acceptance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPi0Xyu_HgM)
This song hits me hard considering it's about being accepted for who you are. I never got to have that privilage so for me, it's about wanting what you can't have. NOTE: I could not find the studio version on youtube anywhere, so instead, you get a live version! Whoopie do!
#46 -- Scattered (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaDMmA2sTQU)
Remember rememberingyour old girlfriend/boyfriend with pictures of them? Yeah, i've yet to know that feeling. Anyways, this song has a crazy opening riff, which is possibly why I like it so much.
#45 -- Longview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy5XR-oxCus)
THE song that put Green Day on the map of mainstream, an awesome bassline, great guitar riff, and a "positive" message toward teenage boys and girls, this song could be the greatest thing to ever come across mankind.
#44 -- At The Library (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyagZN6X-eQ)
The first song on the "1039/Smooth" EP, this song shows Billie Joe's guitar skills while at the same time, this song just goes to show you how far this band has come.
#43 -- 86 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2MSmX6d4dc)
With this song being about being kicked out of the local punk scene, Billie Joe shares his experinces while at the same time, I finally understand what this song is about! :P
#42 -- American Idiot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkmEZs_Kcms)
The title track to the album that brought them back to life in the mainstream, Green Day describes the lies that are spread around the world of the media and television, also, the american dream. This is also, in fact, the song that brought me into the world of Green Day.
#41 -- Jesus Of Suburbia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNKPYhXmzoE)
With this being the longest song of Green Day's history (9:08 ), this song tells the story of a false prophet. Kind of reminds you of a religion's view on chrisianity, doesn't it? ;). Not to mention that the song's final sequence is one of my favorite riffs.
#40 - #31 coming soon!
