Top 5 Green Day songs

I don’t know how you guys feel about Green Day, if you love them or hate them, but they are one of my favorite punk bands ever, and i’m bored so i felt like listing my five favorite Green Day songs
5.. Longview – Dookie (1994)
What teen would not love this song? It’s about boredom, jerking off and getting high.
4.. She – Dookie (1994)
It’s a song about a girl, it’s also one of the first Green Day songs i ever heard, so it warrants a special spot in my top 5
3.. Wake Me Up When September Ends – American Idiot (2004)
This song is just so bittersweet, you can’t just help but love it despite the meaning of it, easily the most personal song Billie has ever written
2.. Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) – Nimrod (1997)
Come on… who doesn’t know this song? I’m pretty sure everybody has heard this song whether it be a school dance, a high school graduation or the ending to Seinfeld, It’s phenomenal
