Hit songs

I have heard of Green Day, but know nothing of their songs. Have you tried youtube??? That's where I go when I want to know something about any artist or group. In most cases, somebody has put a video of their song there.

American Idiot was Green Day's first album to hit #1. It debuted as #1 on the charts in October 2004 after only one week. Off of Dookie (Released Feb. 1994) - Longview, Basket Case and When I Come Around hit top spot, their next hit was J.A.R. off the Angus soundtrack and their last number one hit was Insomniac's Brain Stew/Jaded. Since then their highest has been Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) which was at number 2 for more than 15 weeks.

Their latest hit song is "Know Your Enemy" off the 21st Century Breakdown album released May 15, 2009.

Thought this was an interesting fact also. How they got their name: The phrase "green day" is Bay-area slang for a day with lots of green bud where you just sit around taking bong hits, hanging around. Billie Joe picked the phrase up from friends while chilling in his "habitat" (in the basement of a Berkeley University building), and wrote the song Green Day about his first pot experience. The group changed their name from Sweet Children to Green Day in 1990. Note too that Ernie from Sesame Street has also uttered the phrase Green Day (Ernie also appears on Dookie... coincidence?).
