Go American Idiot Go
Go:
I have heard Vs. once or twice and remember liking it. I would probably love it if I listened to it more.
I didn't specifically remember 'Go' and so it was the song I was least familiar with on this collection. 'American Idiot' was close to being the song I was least familiar with, but because of its relative newness, I was fairly familiar with it.
I know 'Daughter' came from Vs.
Helpful Hint: Don't ever call Eddie Vedder "Daughter." He gets super-pissed and will start throwing things.
I love the multiple start ups at the beginning of the song and the interplay between the bass and guitars. It kinda starts and goes before really launching into itself and then it really rocks. The bass and guitars are really going at it. Nice guitar solos - especially the entrance to solo number one. It also has the feel of a really good album song.
I love Pearl Jam and can't believe I only own Vitology and Yield. They Rock!

No - not artificial intelligence
no -not even Aching Ibis
but American Idiot
This song has grown on me quite a bit. Maybe because it isn't Blvd. of Broken Dreams which has been played and played and played.....
I love its simplicity and can't believe the bass drum. They recorded the shit out of it! What a drummer anyway! Is Green Day more punk than rock? I think Rock. What a stupid question? I am sorry to ask it.
Nirvana and Green Day are cousins and Green Day was the sequel that kept rock rockin'. Much like Star Trek 2 - The Wrath of Kahn, kept Star Trek trekking - at least until Deep Space Nine - but this is about ROCK not Sci-Fi - Right?
Billie Joe has interesting legs. They are quite short so when he runs it appears that he is running double-time. Not at all like the legs of an Ibis. Very effective during Rock'n'Roll concerts. Gotta love that figure! His melodies keep Green Day surfing high.
I can really rock out to American Idiot - it is an easy song to let yourself go for rockin' purposes and I'm really happy to have a copy of it.
Rock Rock Rock - this collection is about rockin'and these two songs definitely ROCK!

Mighty Tom has let loose a torrent of comments, flooding my mind to the point of shut down. Hopefully with FEMA's help I will be able to put it back together.
Your last two paragraphs sound like commentary by Cory.
Green day is more rock than punk, and if they are cousins to Green Day, it's distant cousins at best.
