The Time Of Your Life

I, like many others, quite enjoy the band ‘Green Day’. Though, I didn’t like them at first... I couldn’t stand them! It was only due to my sister (and MTV) constantly playing one of their live shows on the tv. Even then, I only really stayed because I liked the songs ‘Dominated Love Slave’ and ‘All By Myself’ in which the drummer ‘Tré Cool’ sings. Due to me liking these, I would watch the rest of the live show and then found myself actually enjoying more and more of the songs and so I became a fan.

Nowadays though, I’m not too fussed about them. I know I’ll be coming across all elitest (if I was truley that, it would have been spelt ‘1337’ or ‘L337’) but I much, much prefer their older stuff. Mainly the first three albums. I don’t know what it is about their stuff now, I think they got too political and whatnot and that wasn’t really why I enjoyed them. The fact that one of their old songs is essentially about masturbation and another about being a basket case (Can you guess the songs?).

Though, obviously I still enjoyed their newer stuff, until it got to ‘American Idiot’. I enjoyed it, to a point. Then I just got bored. The album just wasn’t ‘doing’ it for me the way all the other albums did, even the album ‘Warning’ I have probably played more and not gotten as bored of as ‘American Idiot’. Maybe I will get back into them, I doubt it. I haven’t even listened to their new album and have not felt the need to really!!

So, if you want to enjoy the good, enjoyable ‘Green Day’ that I will always enjoy, I would recommend you listen to the albums ‘1’030/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours’, ‘Kerplunk!’ and of course ‘Dookie’.

Then, if you’re still enjoying them, go through the rest as they came out then maybe stop by ‘Warning’... Or ‘Nimrod’.
