EXTRA INFFORMATION:
1,039/SMOOTHED OUT SLAPPY HoURS:
Contains material from 39/Smooth, Slappy and 1,000 Hours. Has been re-released with rare live videos, photos from their childhood, extra pages in the book, and other CD content. This album also contains the song "Going To Pasalaqua" which is regarded even today as one of the bands best.
KERPLUNK!:
The second record on Lookout. Has been re-released with some of the songs from the "Sweet Children". Notable songs include "2000 Light years Away" and the original version of "Welcome to Paradise".
DOOKIE:
Their major label debut, Dookie is Green Day's most critically acclaimed album with popular singles "Basket Case", "Longview" and "When I Come Around". It is certified diamond (10 times platinum) in the US. (#2 US, #13 UK)
INSOMNIAC:
The album features generally darker, harsher subject matter and lyrics than Dookie's poppy leanings. Despite solid reviews, Insomniac failed to match the sales and buzz of the previous album. Contains the hits "Stuck With Me", "Brain Stew/Jaded", "Geek Stink Breath" and "Walking Contradiction". (#2 US, #8 UK)
NIMROD:
Green Day begins to stretch out artistically. Includes the hit song "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", which is still played at many weddings and proms. The other singles off the album were Hitchin' A Ride, Redundant, and Nice Guys Finish last. (#10 US, #11 UK)
WARNING:
A folkish-pop album. The material of the album is drawn from The Kinks (the title track bears a strong resemblance to their hit song "Picture Book") and The Beatles. It was well received by critics and fans, though it inexplicably only sold 1 million units in the US. Singles include Warning, Minority, Waiting, and Macy's Day Parade. (#4 US, #4 UK)
AMERICAN IDIOT:
Conceptual punk rock-opera. The album was well-received by critics and fans, and has been Green Day's biggest success since their first Reprise album Dookie. It has sold ten million copies worldwide and has gone quadruple platinum in the US since its release. (#1 US, #1 UK, #1 Australia)
