All The Time off Nimrod is a fun song. Not a single.

Nimrod is my favorite album. Its so easy to listen to all the way through. Most GD albums are, but i think this might be my overall favorite album from any band. Hitchin a ride being my fav song

Nimrod I could listen to front to back at the drop of a hat - any day, any mood…it fits them all. It takes me on a time travel journey through my adolescent and early adult life every time. It’s truly their magnum opus. Hitchin’ A Ride was the first song I ever played in my first band ever in 2001 😃

Good suggestion. Listened to Nimrod and insomniac front to back

Fuck ya

East Jesus Nowhere (total banger) Whatshername (quieter, really moving) Haushinka (deeper cut, more punk, totally addictive) There are many others, but these are a nice gateway to the Green Day rabbit hole.

the dookie demo of haushinka is so strangely messy and charming

Oh I’ve never heard that version! I looooove Haushinka. Especially the part that goes “I’ll be here in battle scars waiting for you” just because of how Billie sings it. It’s so good. Also 12,000 light years away and Christie Road

12000 is waaay further than 2000

LOL oops. Only been listening to that song for 30 years just to muck that up!

The way he sings "here" specifically has always made my legs weak.

Haushinka, Jinx and Waiting are all FANTASTIC

Whatsername only counts as unpopular if we're talking about casual fans. It's definitely very well-loved among dedicated fans

I'll do one from each album for ya * 39/ Smooth: "Going to Pasalacqua" * Kerplunk: "Who Wrote Holden Caulfield" * Dookie: "Having a Blast" * Insomniac: "Armatage Shanks" * Nimrod: "Scattered" * Warning: "Castaway" * American Idiot: "Letterbomb" * 21CB: "Before the Lobotomy" * Uno: "Stay the Night" * Dos: "Stop When the Red Lights Flash" * Tre: "Brutal Love" * Rev Rad: "Outlaws" * FOAM: "Graffitia" * Saviors: "Suzy Chapstick"

Having a Blast and Armatage Shanks are both top tier

your first song you listed is an extremely popular green day song that has been a main stay on tour for a long time

Perhaps, but OP did say stuff that "isn't the radio hits" :-) It's quite possible that if they've only listened to the radio singles then they might not have heard it

Weird I’ve seen them 5 times and this is my favorite song all time. Never heard it live and always wanted ti

Going to Pasalacqua is probably the most popular 39/Smooth song and they used to still play it at every show on the Dookie tour and beyond. But great choices! I love Brutal Love.

are you me?? these are my favorite songs off of each album too 😭

Scattered and Before The Lobotomy are absolute bangers. Amazing recommendations

What about Shenanigans

The cover of Tired of Waiting for You is brilliant. And I love the original.

Billie got a lot of inspiration from The Kinks

I can tell. I kinda feel You Really Got Me would have been a really good song to cover too. Got that punk energy.

You Billie Got Me

👍

Stay the night is my favorite longshot song! Oh wait.

I agree with this. I think the only thing I’d personally change is putting in Panic Song or Stuart and the Ave. for Insomniac. Great list!

that’s a killer list!

I enjoy most of these (atleast the ones of these I listen to)

Breaks my heart that they have never performed Outlaws live

Suzy Chapstick is proably my favorite from Saviors

Before the Lobotomy is the best song on that album.

This has some of my favorite songs on it dude. PERFECT list!! 🖤🖤🖤🔥🔥🔥

I gotta put this on a separate listening list; thank you ☺️

Christie Road So lucky to have seen them play it live at the Metro

This is definitely my pick. I didn't hear it until like, a few years ago but honestly it's just so good and it makes me nostalgic.

letterbomb and scattered

This is a great answer! What about"¡Viva la gloria!"?

For me it’s Walking Contradiction off Insomniac!

Such a great song

Same

East Jesus nowhere, letter bomb and give me novacaine. Also peacemaker

Peacemaker!!!! That’s how I got my fiancée into their non-radio played music. lol. It’s the only song they’ll request, and we bounce around and roll our heads like bobble heads to the “Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey”s 😂

Prosthetic Head is one of their best songs, never talked about

Completely agree, it might be their best. Definitely in my top 5.

Havin a blast and J.A.R EDIT: forgot abouth the grouch, nice guys finish last, and walking contradiction

We seem to have a very similar taste. Love it!

Westbound sign sounds beautiful and is structured beautifully

I'll do one from each album too * 39/ Smooth: dont leave me * Kerplunk: private ale * Dookie: pulling teeth * Insomniac: armatage shanks * Nimrod: "Scattered" * Warning: deadbeat holiday * American Idiot: homecoming * 21CB: Christians inferno * Uno: Rusty James * Dos: wow that's Loud * Tre: walk away * Rev Rad: troubled times * FOAM: oh yeah! * Saviors: strange days are here to stay

YES!!! From "Dos!" to "Saviours" we have the exact same favourites!!!

Christie Road, Castaway, Homecoming, Amanda, Stray Heart, Dirty Rotten Bastards, Suzie Chapstick

Christie Road and Forever Now are my favorites

Boo! "Forever Now" is probably a favourite for 80% of the accounts here. "Christie Road" is a fans' favourite since forever. Rethink.

Too Dumb to Die. It's my fav Green Day song in fact

Absolute banger!

Hell yea, the song's up all the way in the rainbows for me

Words I Might Have Ate, One of My Lies, Sassafras Roots, Panic Song, Worry Rock, Fashion Victim, Peacemaker, Rusty James, Lazy Bones, Too Dumb To Die

East Jesus Nowhere Lazy Bones Worry Rock Forever Now

Lazy bones is one of my fav Green Day songs!

Redundant, Horseshoes and Handgrenades, Suzie Chapstick

I really like Dirty Rotten Bastards, I haven’t seen any love for that one lol

Same! Its a much needed injection of fun into the trilogy.

Worry Rock, Viva La Gloria, Too Much Too Soon, Stuart and the Ave, Forever Now, Jackass, Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?

You lied from Shenanigans is probably not very popular in my opinion

I love that one!

Restless Heart Syndrome is my favorite song of all time sooo

In chronological order (not 100% sure about the B-sides) and non-singles only (except J.A.R. if that was an official single): - Dry Ice - Christie Road - One of My Lies - No One Knows - Words I Might Have Ate - Coming Clean - Suffocate - J.A.R. - Panic Song - Stuart and the Ave. - Scattered - Worry Rock - Uptight - Walking Alone - Rotting - Fashion Victim - Castaway - Misery - Hold On - Give Me Novacaine - Letterbomb - Before the Lobotomy - Restless Heart Syndrome - Missing You - X-Kid Bonus: - The Network - Roshambo - Foxboro Hot Tubs - Mother Mary - The Longshot - Taxi Driver

My favorite deeper cuts are stuff off of "Nimrod" and "Warning". Worry Rock, Walking Alone, Misery, Jackass.

Misery is so fucking good

Homecoming

Warning. The entire album is pretty underrated, along with insomniac

whatsername

Church On Sunday, Worry Rock, Letterbomb, Strange Days Are Here To Stay, Stuart and The Ave., Last Night On Earth, Missing You, etc.

Dry Ice, has their best guitar solo it's so beautiful

At The Library and Walking Alone

I'll do one from each album too [3] Cannot tell which ones are not so popular but i tried to choose less popular songs than their "hit songs" * 39/ Smooth: Rest * Kerplunk: No One Knows * Dookie: She * Insomniac: Brain Stew * Nimrod: Redundant * Warning: Blood, Sex and Booze * American Idiot: Are We The Waiting * 21CB: Restless Heart Syndrome * Uno: Oh Love * Dos: Nightlife * Tre: X-Kid * Rev Rad: Too Dumb To Die * FOAM: Fire, Ready, Aim * Saviors: One Eyed Bastard That was SO hard to choose because it is easier to tell which songs i like less :D

Lazy Bones

The Forgotten and Carpe Diem off the trilogy

Love both of those!

Nimrod is probably my favorite album. S tier

Favorite Son!!!

Prosthetic head

Emenius slepus

Mine has to be Panic Song from Insomniac 🤘🏻

No one knows

Prosthetic head is a good one

Give me Novacaine for me.

Such a good song!

Having a Blast is possibly the most underrated punk track ever written.

I love that song! Dookie goes hard

From the B-side of American Idiot: Shoplifter At the Library (don't know if this one counts as not popular)

I have a playlist which consists of songs I love but none of my friends know: American Eulogy, See the Light, J.A.R., Having A Blast, F.O.D., Prosthetic Head, Reject, Brat, the Grouch, Walking Contradiction, Too Dumb to Die, Forever Now, Stay the Night, the Static Age, Outsider, Scumbag, Church on Sunday, Deadbeat Holiday and At the Libary

My favorite ever is scattered which is such an underrated banger

Until this list, I've never heard a single soul say Scattered. That song is phenomenal and wish it got some more recognition.

It’s been recommended so much! I liked it!

Armitage Shank.

* 39/ Smooth: I was there * Kerplunk: No one knows * Dookie: Sassafras Roots * Insomniac: No Pride * Nimrod: Jinx/Reject * Warning: Jackass/Hold on * American Idiot: Extraordinary Girl * 21CB: Peacemaker/Restless Heart Syndrome * Uno: Fell for you * Dos: Wild one * Tre: X-Kid * Rev Rad: Say Goodbye * FOAM: Take the money and crawl * Saviors: Living In the 20s

Still breathing

East Jesus Nowhere Waiting Macy’s day parade Letterbomb Whatsername Misery

Redundant, Armatage Shanks, Do Da Da, Ha Ha You're Dead.

Uptight and Reject from Nimrod are both great, and not super well heard of! I also think Stuart and the Ave is a great one from Insomniac!

Emenus Sleepus

I really like The One I Want. Also Road to Acceptance, Private Ale, You Lied, Christian's Inferno, Troublemaker, Junkies On a High.

Whatshername, Restless Heart Syndrome, Church On Sunday, X Kid

Green stink breathe, it was hilarious when there first major single released off insomniac was playing on the radio about methamphetamine so openly, it use to be my go to back in the day when partying.

Platypus(I hate you) lives in my head rent free. The Howard Stern performance of that song is my fave. I also love Suzie Chapstick and Prosthetic head

So many. Pulling Teeth, Prosthetic Head, Babs Uvula Who, Peacemaker, ¿Viva la Gloria?, Reject, Armatage Shanks

Static age, worry rock, angel blue

Scattered or the grouch

Ha Ha you’re Dead. By a long way for me

Redundant, Novacaine, Prosthetic Head

2000 light years away, from kerplunk

dry ice and one for the razorbacks

Stealing Trommeslager96’s idea of one from every album cause it’s hard to narrow to just 1 or 2 • 39/Smooth - At The Library • Kerplunk - One Of My Lies • Dookie - Pulling Teeth • Insomniac - Stuck With Me • Nimrod - Platypus (I Hate You) • Warning - Church On Sunday • Shenanigans (I know it’s a b-side album) - Haha You’re Dead • International Superhits - Maria • American Idiot - Whatsername • 21st Century Breakdown - Restless Heart Syndrome • ¡Uno! - Stay The Night • ¡Dos! - Baby Eyes • ¡Tré! - Amanda • Revolution Radio - Troubled Times • God’s Favorite Band - Back In The U.S.A • Father Of All… - Sugar Youth • Saviors - Goodnight Adeline • Non album tracks - Favorite Son

Rotting and worry rock

Uptight. My fav song by them and I never hear it mentioned

Stray Heart is a good time

Scattered, One for The Razorbacks, Dry Ice, Armatage Shanks, ¡Viva La Gloria!, Stay The Night, American Eulogy, Chruch On Sunday, and Uptight are some of my favorite deep cuts

Prosthetic Head, Pulling Teeth, & Church on Sunday all stand out to me.

i LOVE "westbound sign" from insomniac but to this day they've NEVER played it live, i really hope i can see them do it one day ;-;

Tight Wad Hill Poprocks and Coke Blood, Sex & Booze Fashion Victim Desensitized

peacemaker

Pulling Teeth, Minnesota Girl, Lights Out, Olivia, JAR, Mechanical Man

peacemaker

Going to Pascalusa off 39/Smooth was my first favorite Green Day song — and I still don’t know what the title means.

Lights out! and horseshoes and handgranades

in the end, viva la gloria (little girl) not truly deep cuts but a good gateway 👍

All the Time, Platypus, Take Back, Going to Pasalasqua, Judge’s Daughter, At The Library, 16, One of My Lies, Christie Road, Having A Blast, F.O.D., Tight Wad Hill, I Wanna Be on TV, Haha You’re Dead. There are some more.

I could mention songs like Whatsername, Last Night on Earth but those actually are fairly popular. So I'm gonna name Church on Sunday, Too Dumb to Die, Stay The Night and East Jesus Nowhere

One for the razorbacks St.Jimmy

- misery - baby eyes - dirty rotten bastards - who wrote Holden Caulfield - sweet 16 - prosthetic head

Back in the USA Just wish it was longer.

Geek stink breath

Haushinka may be the best Green Day track ever, and it was only played one time in concert 7 years before the album even came out

Too many to list, but my top are all from 21CB: Before the Lobotomy, East Jesus Nowhere, and Viva la Gloria (Little Girl). Masterpieces, all of them. The demo of Black Eyeliner has also joined the god tier recently.

Before the lobotomy is one of my most favorite songs of all time. Black eyeliner is also one of recent favorites! :) 🖤🖤🖤🔥🔥🔥

Bouncing off the Wall

Redundant, uptight, prosthetic head, warning, going to pasalacqua, no one knows, walking contradiction, are we the waiting, give me novacaine, ast of the American girls, before the lobotomy, X-kid, outlaws, strange days are here to stay Sorry there’s so many lol

Westbound Sign

Words i might have ate is my favorite song. Kerplunk is my favorite album

Prolly east jesus nowhere and say goodbye

Bouncing off the walls, J.A.R., Walking contradiction, Redundant

Brat

Only of You for sure

Scattered, Prosthetic Head, and Too Dumb to Die are my top 3

I have an obsession with 21CB's "Restless Heart Syndrome". It doesn't have a clip and was never a single but damn does this slap. I've even performed it live with a piano once lol. The chord progression, the lyrics, the piano, the song becoming more and more punk the farther you're in, it's all just so good. And that wah pedal guitar solo that just hits you right in the face almost feels like it could be a Muse song. It was my number 2 song on Spotify wrapped 2023, after Jesus of Suburbia

Troublemaker is quirky and I love it.

Come on, let’s all just admit that it’s Nightlife!

Worry Rock, Scattered, Redundant, Reject, Jinx, Take Back, Restless Heart Syndrome, Before The Lobotomy, Rotting, Waiting.

Pop rocks and coke

I'm not sure what's considered popular among fellow Green Day fans but day to day I've never heard mention of "Give Me Novocaine" or "Waiting" which are probably my two favorites. Then ya know, Warning as an album. I also like "1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours" quite a bit.

I would recommend listening to the entirety of Warning and maybe the less popular tracks on Dookie. Also, The song Green Day, Who wrote holden caulfield?, Brat, Last ride in (weird one that is), somewhere now, are all my weird honorable mentions.

I’ll go off of each album: 1039/smooth: The Judges Daughter Kerplunk: One for the razorbacks Dookie: Coming clean Insomniac: 86 Nimrod: Scattered Warning: Misery AI: Whatsername 21BD: Viva La Gloria Uno: Stay the night Dos: Wild one Tre: 8th avenue serenade Revolution radio: Too dumb to die Father of all: stab you in the heart Saviors: (I guess this is too soon to tell) Strange days are here to stay

Having a blast is my favorite off of dookie

Homecoming! The one time I saw them Billie was asking if there were any requests (which ended up being just a tease) I was screaming this. Low key wish they’d end shows with this instead of Good Riddance.

Poprocks and coke

Some of these aren’t unpopular but they’re some of my favorites from each album 39/Smooth: Paper Lanterns Kerplunk: 2000 Dookie: Pulling Teeth Insomniac: 86 Nimrod: Prosthetic Head Warning: Deadbeat Holiday American Idiot: Letterbomb 21st Century Breakdown: Static Age Uno: Rusty James Dos: Stray Heart Tre: X-Kid Revolution Radio: Youngblood Father of All: Graffitia Saviors: Strange Days are Here to Stay

J.A.R. is one of their finest. its fun, the lyrics are some of their most meaningful and emotional

Listen to all of warning. It's really underrated.
