- Dookie (1994) Billie Joe Armstrong might have humbly pondered, ‘Do you have the time to listen to me whine?’ on Dookie’s second single Basket Case, but it’s a question that is incessantly met with a resounding “Yes” over a quarter of a century later.
- American Idiot (2004) Really, what more can be said about Green Day’s monumental seventh album? Yes, the songs are genuinely incredible, but the context in which the full-length was made also makes it all the more jaw-dropping.
- Insomniac (1995) Adopting a much more bleak tone – both lyrically and sonically – than its predecessor, Billie Joe told Rolling Stone that he “wanted to show the uglier side of what Green Day was capable of” on Insomniac.
- Nimrod (1997) Okay, now this list is really getting tricky. You might even say that we’ve found ourselves at a ‘fork stuck in the road’ (sorry). And of course Billie Joe’s bitter break-up ballad to an ex-girlfriend who had moved to Ecuador played a momentous role in the triumph of Nimrod, but there’s so, so much to Green Day’s fifth LP than just Good Riddance.

- Dookie (1994) Green Day’s third album launched the Berkeley trio into the stratosphere, reminding the wider world that punk rock still existed. A faultless, irresistible collection of instant classics, Dookie pulls together the frantic energy of Basket Case with the artfully controlled When I Come Around and makes both sound like they were made to be together.
- Insomniac (1995) How do you follow up an album that unexpectedly and simultaneously makes you both global superstars and pariahs among punk purists? By pouring all the anxiety and needling energy into its follow-up, of course.
- American Idiot (2004) Green Day’s second act began with not so much a bang as a full fireworks show and Christ-like resurrection. It’s difficult now to overstate just how unexpected American Idiot was: equal parts a swing for the fences by a band on the ropes, and a familiar reassurance that you’d be a fool to doubt their nous, ambitious and song-writing skills.
- Warning (2000) The early 2000s were Green Day’s mid-career stumble. While album sales remained respectable, they found themselves lower down the punk rock pecking order than Blink-182, and there was a general sense that they’d become the wrong kind of misfits.

Green Day!' rang out throughout sets by Hassan Hackmoun and ...
