My favorite Green Day album is probably 'American Idiot', because it lets people know how fucked up politics, George Bush, and America are with all its
power and because some of my favorite Green Day songs are on it (not that I don't have favorite other favorite Green  Day songs). I like 'American Idiot' the most, because of the fact that it is a  Rock Opera and it is telling a story of the main character the Jesus of  Suburbia  "I'm the son of rage and love the Jesus of Suburbia." The 2  biggest reasons I like 'American Idiot' the most is, because of  Billie Joe's beautiful matured voice that makes the songs sound even better and  just the whole changing look of Green Day and the whole eyeliner thing with Tre  and Billie Joe, especially with Billie Joe and his spiky black hair.

My  favorite Green Day song is "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," because of the beautifully written lyrics by Billie Joe and his voice through the song and the "ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahhh ahh ahh ahh" parts and the opening part. I  just basically love the song and every single thing about it!

My favorite line of lyrics from Green Day would definitely be from another one of  my favorites "Wake Me Up When September Ends," which is "Here comes the  rain again falling from the stars."

Lastly my favorite Green Day music video is again "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," because of the whole vintage look that Samuel Bayer used to make the film strips look scratchy and very, very, very old and everything about the opening including the part with the car and the  positioning of the camera at Green Day's feet during the beginning of the song  to
the most gorgeous guy in the world, Billie Joe being shown when the vocals start and the little smirk he gives when saying "the only one that I have  ever
known." I also love the fact that Billie Joe, Mike and Tre are  actually walking along their lonely road showing different footage of populated  streets to desolate deserted areas behind them with the vulture and the whole  wind effect making the video look even more real, the editing and just how They  are all
dressed and how they look. And lastly I love the whole true feeling of  the darker more depressing colors, which goes with the affect of the  song compared to
its prequel another great song, "Holiday" with the more cherry colorfulness. I AM GOING CRAZY, BECAUSE I ABSOLUTELY  LOVE "BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS" AND AM PROUD OF IT BEING THE BEST VIDEO OF  2005!!
 
P.S. Very sorry for the frightful long details, but I'm just showing the 
Green Day love........

Insomniac is my favorite Green Day album because it's just more hard punk, angrier, more powerful, and show the raw side of Green Day. It's unlike the other's 'cause it's less 'love, pity, rejection' and more, FUCK YOU I
HATE YOUR GUTS!

My favorite song is "Stuart and the Ave."

"HA HA You're Dead, And I'm So Happy! In Loving Memory of Your Demise..." would be my favorite lyrics.

I like the "Walking Contradiction" music video,
because the song's awesome, and all the destruction, havoc, and general chaos they cause by accident is pretty funny.
