    This is by far my favorite Green Day album. Their sound was the most punk on this record. The fast paced, aggressive, short yet full of substance songs that this album was comprised of is just too sweet. Geek Stink Breath, Walking Contradiction, Brain Stew/Jaded, talk about great singles. Most people I talk to choose Dookie as their favorite Green Day album. I prefer Insomniac in the sense that Insomniac is Dookie's angry, jaded little brother.

    Quick fun fact; Good Riddance was supposed to be on this album. The tone of the Insomniac version is like a "f--- you" compared to the "It was fun, have a good life" version that we got on Nimrod.


    Honorable Mentions: WTSMG, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, Short Bus, You'd Prefer an Astronaut.

    Radiohead in general. They just aren’t my cup of tea. I respect them as artists but that’s about it.

    The gif was mainly a reference to you picking the radiohead album when GD dropped their best album and SP dropped what many consider their best album.

    hot take: mellon collie is amazing but you could cut 30% of the songs and it would be much better
