Spandau Ballet's first single was f*cking awesome.
Dunno what the hell happened to them after that though.

Don't you mean 'Good Riddance'?

And probably Ballroom Blitz from Sweet, I have their greatest hits and can't listen to anything but that song from the album.

Pretty sure I stopped listening to Green Day after Dookie. That song ruined them for me and made me realize what an ugly mother BJA is.

Eh come on, you don't need to pretend to be a Green Day purist

.

American Idiot and Warning are both alright...Dookie was probably their best though, only because of Longview.

Warning was just a sad attempt for the band to go way past it's limits without any sense of direction.

Very damn mediocre album.

The only acceptable Green Day song is Platypus, and for some reason that 1 song is really good.

I think Dookie is all you need. Everything else is mostly garbage outside of the singles. Hell, just get International Superhits, you'll pretty much have the bulk of all the good songs in their discography.

Green Day are really more of a singles band anyway, as with most bands in the pop rock field.

Oh come on Warning, Fashion Victim, Minority, Waiting, and Macy's Day Parade are all very good. The only songs I really don't like are Jack@ss and Castaway.
