For those that know Jesus of Suburbia nothing needs to be written about it. For those that don't know Jesus of Suburbia after a 9 minute listen nothing needs to be written about it. It's a generational track and I never second guessed it's place on my rankings...but others? Well, I'm gonna share my actual Green Day 31 (okay, 40) with how they rolled out in this playlist in () and I'll include the snubs.
1. Jesus of Suburbia (1)
2. Hitchin A Ride- live (2)
3. Longview (3)
4. Homecoming (4)
These^^^ 4 never changed (in order) from day 1
5. 21st Century Breakdown (6) - with hind sight this shoulda been 5
6. Brain Stew/Jaded (9)
7. Are We the Waiting/St Jimmy (13) - I realized on vacation w the kids I had this too low
8. FOD (11)
9. Holiday (8)
with hind sight this was tier break #2 - there were a few derps here, but oh well
10. Minority (5) - shoulda been 6, but I over ranked it to flow better
11. Letterbomb (10)
12. Welcome To Paradise (12)
13. Burnout (15)
14. Walking Contradiction (7) - I realized soon after we started I had the wrong Insomniac track in the top 10, oh well
15. Going to Pasalacqua- live (14)
16. Paper Lanters (19) - needed to break up the pre Dookie Green Day on the playlist
17. Panic Song (17)
18. Platypus (23) - the most violent song in the Green Day catalog fit better later
3 months later I think this band has a very clear top 18 in my catalog, so I really only kinda biffed on one ranking.
19. Basket Case (snub) - I hadn't listened to this song in a very long time and didn't really give it a thought before we started. As the summer has worn on I've come to realize I just needed a break from it cause this really is the perfect pop-punk song.
20. East Jesus Nowhere- live (16)
21. American Eulogy (18)
22. Horseshoes & Hand Grenades (20)
23. Restless Heart Syndrome (21)
24. Viva La Gloria (22)
25. Peacemaker (30) - 3 21st Century Breakdown cuts in a row were intentional, but 6 woulda been ridiculous...plus I wanted this one very early to get the attention of some of those who weren't sure if they were really interested in more Green Day
26. American Idiot (snub) - this was my last cut, I thought the 7 below in () were too important not to add
27. Geek Stink Breath (snub) - I thought adding Brat was more important as it is more smartass than just plain nasty like this one
28. Brat (29)
29. Bab's Uvala Who (unranked) - I think Brat's a more accessible track, so if you hit that heart I strongly recommend giving this one a shot too (and other 2 minute tracks on Insomniac)
30. Macy's Day Parade (28)
31. King For A Day/Shout- live (26)
32. She (25)
This is the last tier break - it was very hard to leave those unranked listed above out (except for Basket Case - derp). Below it was more important for me to play the role of intro rather than prioritizing my rankings.
33. The Grouch (unranked) - for those that enjoyed the immaturity of Knowledge below give this one a shot too. I figured that'd be a better crowd pleaser.
34. Knowledge (27)
35. Know Your Enemy (unranked) - when I started this thing I figured either this or Idiot would make the cut, but not both, and quickly opted against this one. Good song; it's just Idiot is better.
36. Revolution Radio (unranked) - when I started this thing I figured I'd add one song released after 2009, but I thought adding the below 2 were more important. For those still reading, this is a good album that I endorse listening to, but for the love of God skip Father of All and Uno/Dos/Tres.
37. Whatsername (24)
38. Misery (31)
39. JAR (unranked) - for those unfamiliar and love the Dookie sound I strongly endorse this track
40. Take Back (unranked) - while Platypus is the most violent song in their catalog, this is probably the most hard core. Really, this spot could belong to any tracks #11-15 on Nimrod, but this one's so far outside the box it stands out to me.
A few songs
Honorable mention1. Blvd of Broken Dreams - as I mentioned in my post no one reads (hi
@krista4 ) I never skip this song in the context of the album, but I never listen to it by itself
Honorable mention2. When I Come Around - classic pop-punk track, but never a top 31 consideration for me
Some more songs
Meh. Good Riddance - some people hate this, I don't, but I also never seek it out
A lot of songs
Gblargh. Wake Me Up When September Ends - American Idiot may be a perfect album if this song weren't on it
All of the songs
Kill it with fire. 21 Guns - ...and this is (MUCH!!!) worse than September

shuke mentioned it became a little bit of a slog, and I felt the same way. Sometimes it was just too much to take in on each playlist for me. Not a criticism but an acknowledgement of my own limitations.
